  1. Ok operation calurpa-out round 1 just took place. Got as much as I could off of the live rock in the tank (did not realize how much of it there was!). I will go back in a day or 2 when I see some more. I left the refugium alone for now. Should I try and weed it down a bit? or just wait until I get some chaeto and re-do the whole thing?

     

    On a separate note, in cleaning off my rock I noticed some very small starfish shaped critters with very long legs that moved around relatively quick. I saw 2 dark brown ones with white bands all over their legs, and an all white one. Are these good? Where do they come from? Will they grow to a decent size?

  2. Thank you very much dsoz! I am gonna get all of it off of my live rock that I can tonight, and work on trimming down my refugium until I get some chaeto. Are there any fish that will eat the calurpa off of the rock?

  3. Hey guys, I have upgraded tanks to a 72 gal bowfront, and will need to get rid of my current 46 gallon bowfront setup. I will be moving it over in 3-4 weeks and am just seeing if anyone is interested. Comes with tank, stand, hood, 175 watt metal halide setup(diy), underwater protein skimmer( i believe it is red sea, but not sure), refugium (10 gal), a few nets, overflow box (could use some cleaning) and pretty much everything to get you started with a good saltwater setup! I also have a filter system that I never used(came with tank when I bought it), I believe it is an emperor.

    No live stock will be included, tank will come empty.

    Delivery in eugene/salem may be worked out. Possibly to portland (if you cover my gas)

    I will be switching my tank over to my new one in about 3-4 weeks, so the tank will not be available until then. I am looking to get $400 for everything, just trying to recoop some of the costs of the new tank. If you have any questions feel free to ask, Thanks

     

    First picture is with my lighting setup that will not be included with the tank, the other pictures are with the hood on it (and do not have a light hooked up, which is why it looks so dark)

  4. I dont know too much about r/o systems, and just got one but it needs the first 2 canisters. It is made by Kent marine, and is the hi-s model. If anyone has a few extra canisters (probably a long shot) or if anyone knows of a good place to get some online that would be very helpful! Thanks

  5. Thanks for the input guys. So pardon my ignorance, but how long do I have and what could happen with the caulerpa I have? I bought the tank with most of it as it is right now and has been running for 3+ years, are there any signs of possible trouble?

  6. Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself.

    My name is Jase, I currently am living in Eugene (going to the U of O, go ducks) but will be moving back to my home town (Salem) here in about a month, and attending Willamette University. I am both new to the website here, and new to the hobby. I have had a tank now for about 3 months, and dove in head first. I have a 46 gal bowfront, and just recently purchased a 72 gal bowfront (which I will set up once I move here in a month). Anyways the addiction is definitely there, and at such an early stage it is very scary, just ask my girlfriend. I have attached (or attempted to attach) some pictures of my tank. There is tons of sand in it right now, seeing as I got a bunch last weekend when I bought my 72 gal, and had to keep it alive. Anyways, glad to have joined, and I have already learned tons from you guys already. I am sure I will have some questions when setup time comes for my 72 gal here in a month. Thanks!

     

     

     

     

    Sorry for the crappy pictures, that is about the extent of my photography skills. I will try to attach more here in a sec.

  7. Hey I have a very healthy, happy Clark's Clown (amphiprion clarkii), the girlfriend wants a couple of "Nemos" (about the extent of her fish knowledge) and he is too protective of his anemone to let any other clowns in the tank. He has been in this established setup for about 3 years, and takes good care of any anemone that he calls home (will even feed them krill if it is dropped in the tank). Anyways I would like to trade him for some other fish if possible, so I can make the girlfriend happy. Let me know if you are interested, I am located in Eugene.

     

    I am trying to attach some pictures, but seeing as it is my first time, this could get hairy.
