I was there last night.  They looked great.    One looks even better, now that it's in my tank.  Jeff, tell Austin thanks for helping us.  My wife is happy with the biggest mandarin fish I've seen in years. 

 

You bought him? That was a seriously impressive fish.

Holy cow! Those are ALL full blown colonies! You’re killing me smalls...

You have to see it in person. I was in there today and it's so pretty in person. 

Sold

In my defense they're from Ikea so they match the decor. 

I'm using two desk lamps with 5k flood lights so I can't have anything too crazy.  

Looking for the oldie but goodie. Not picky on color, good with a medium/large piece/colony.

Thank you. Figured that was the case but clarification is always nice. The probe not calibrating is of more interest to me. 

I am having the same issue. I wanted to recalibrate for a new tank and ph isn't on the task list. It failed calibrating from the controller and settles at "0250" in either solution. I've read these don't go bad too often but it seems to be dead. So my questions are-

Why is ph not on my task list?

Why is the probe staying at 0250 now. It was reading fairly close to accurate before I reset it. 

I have one of those I need to put up for sale as well. Honestly one of the best skimmers I've ever used. 

Not at all.

If I can make it up to Portland, I'll take it off your hands 😊

I can always count on you, buddy. 

It's pending sale off a different site. 

All sold

I'm in SW Portland and have been fine. Lot of snow but minimal ice. Drove into Lake O today and it's a disaster down there. Most of the city doesn't have power and there are trees and power lines everywhere. Crazy what 5-6 miles can do for a weather difference. 

To quote Ian Malcolm "Life finds a way." Some will play nice, others will kill each other, just depends on what gets put next to what. I always google it and see what the specific coral will live next to and what it won't live next to. 

I'd look for different rock. What you have is awesome base rock in a larger tank but fills up a small tank quickly. However, if only this is available I'd remove the far left and raise the middle rock. You'll have flow above and below. Something like that is my suggestion. 

The desire to fill a tank with too much rock is ever present. 

Remember you want flow to keep the tank healthy. That much rock will create dead spots for debris to accumulate and spike nutrient levels. Less is more with rock. If you remove some and think it feels empty you have the right amount. Keep in mind the tank will be full of coral at some point, let the coral fill the dead space. 

Tough crowd, how about $20? The rock itself is worth that. 

One sold, one left. Have a third that needs cleaning I'll throw in as well. It also has a controller and power supply. $40 for both. 

I'll take one. 

Let's say $70 for both? Both have power supplies and controllers.

Probably about 60 heads, green zoas. Rock is about 12" by 10", it's an awesome piece but too large for my new tank. 

$40 or best offer or trade.
