My PH is 8.2' date=' I have a skimmer and about 30 lbs or so of live rock with good lighting and I feed them brime shrimp. There are about 10 fish (damsels, clown, gobbies, lawnmower blennie, anemones, starfish, snails, shrimp). Thanks[/quote']

 

lots of folks here really know there stuff and will help as much as possible. but often times it takes knowing as much as possible to be able to do that.

 

brand and model of protein skimmer? example asm g1.

what i may consider a good skimmer and coulda payed 200 bucks for others may disagree and it actually may not be very efficient at what i need it to do.

 

same goes for lighting. power compacts t5 halide. how many watts how many hours a day are you running them?

 

food. you said you feed them brine? live frozen how much of it how many times a day or week. is that the only thing your feeding.

 

all info will be a great help. it seems tedious and annoying at time but we want to help you. loosing livestock is no fun!we need to get this figured out so you can start enjoying the hobby a little more and not have to worry as much.

100 bucks obo get it out

if your up north i can possibly arange a meetup/delivery

i would suggest you contact your supposable buddy shawn who happens to live in the same town as you and has moved a tank across town 3 times with 100 percent success(scratch)

250 for the whole shabammm(scratch)

ill see where this is going in a week then think of a part out. ill let ya know. i think i have 3 koralia 3s and 1 4 which was used for like a month.

oh and im includingg 2 newish stealth heaters int he package deal!

im broke im gonna ask 300 250for it all. pretty much a complete system. or possible trades for a used glass tank thats cubish like a solona.

up for sale is an aga 40 breeder,dimensions are 36 long 18 wide 16 high.

the stand which i built from 2 by4's with housing grade braces all over it. the stand is mega overkill,but i made it that way so it has so a kid can bump into it and it can be tweaked side to side and not really put any stress on it. it is also much higher than a normal stand im 6foot3" and it was great for me to vew it.it cost me around 150 in materials to build the stand. but i never got around to skinning it to make it look more apealing.

im throwing long i had for the sump,and yes it does fit uner the stand. a homemade overflow which worked flawlessly for 6 months till i had to tear the tank down.

a 36" fixture which i retrofitted 2 175 watt mettal halides into. the ballasts which i dont know a name for there an old diy type. 14k bulbs which need to be replaced.

hmm i think i have 2-3 koralia 3's around too. and i can toss in a skimmer that will do fine for this size system but it will need a replacement pump which runs around 20 shipped.

here it was running

here was the stand being built.look at those braces(clap)

its now black

i dont have a pic of the light or skimmer at the moment. and cant measure the stand hieght because its across town in storage right now.

there used to be a regular at a local bowling alley his name was Jim rob,but it was very easy and quite common for people to mix up the first letter in his first and last name.

the place im moving out of is a 3 bedroom huge living spaces large yard safe neighboorhood and close to schools. i thinks it 1100

i believe curtis was using phoinex 14k aswell. i think thats conciderd the hqi bulb to have right now.lots of rc guys use em.

20k you will get the most coral but the slowest growth. 10k best growth worse colors. its a toss up.

i like 20k when it comes to halides.

im in the same boat right now! i plan to do a partial tear down get rid of all but a few of my favorite corals and rescape it!

BUMPTITY BUMP BUMP(whistle)

I WANT THIS STUFF SOLD ASAP IM SUPER SHORT ON CASH. SO HERES PRICE DROPSi will be able to bring stuff up as far as portland

first one for sale is one of my favorite chalices of mine. huge chunk i think its about 4 by 2. heres an older picture of it. its really hard to get the colors right, the pink eyes are insanely pink.i think this ones very special and if it were somewhere online it would fetch a hefty price so im asking

another chalice its a peach colored base with hues of green orangeish eyes and lots of speckles.
