TankIt

I have a metal Halide 400watt dual ballast with 2 mogul ended sockets. Ballast is New Wave by Sunlight supply. It was only used for like a week or 2 by the previous owner but was to much for his tank so he bought dual 250s and since he owed me money for tank maint. I took this in exchange. I took it off his tank so I know it works great and I might even have a could of 10 or 18K bulbs I can include I'll have to look at his house. I really want to get ahold of a 250 watt single and some nice coral for it, but MAKE OFFER and I will sell them for a good price. Thanks

Ballast Info Ok I have the ballast now... It is a new wake ballast by sunlight supply, as for pulse or probe..... I do not know. HQI I do not know but you are welcome to setup a time to take a look at it.... Let me know if you are interest in a trade or purchase... I prefer trade but will sell for the right price!!! Thanks

Zoas If you can wait untill I get paid later this week I'll take the first and the last rocks. Is that some green zoas on the same frag in the first pic? I have a good size rock of these green polyps I could trade you for the first rock if you are interested there is way more than 30 polyps. I know their not zoanthids but they are a pretty color and spread fast if you are interested I can bring them. Thanks

Ballast As for what brand it is I am not sure I have been doing some major house and tank cleaning this last weekend and have the ballast in storage right now. I can go pick it up but I do not have time today and work tomorrow, I could go by and pick it up tomorrow after work.......? I know its blue with a blue handle.... something "Wave"???? "Blue Wave" maybe???? as for the rest that I am not sure of either..... I know it has mogul sockets wired with it right now! As for price I am really just hoping to trade it for a dual 250 watt setup for my tanks. Or even for a single 250 and an anemone or some coral or ........ As for price you could make me an offer I guess????? I can get somemore info for you like I said tomorrow for anyone interested. Thanks

Want/Trade Ok now I have a dual 400 watt ballast with 2 mogul sockets, barely used and poss. even bulbs that were only about 1 mth old. I am looking to trade for a dual 250watt ballast/ends mogul or HQI or a single 250 watt and some nice coral........ What do you have?????? Lets Talk Trade/Sale!!!!!!!!

I am looking for a used MH complete setup 250 watt or less. With a bulb would be perfect! Retro or pendant not real picky, HQI or mogul, I need a new canopy anyway so I can figure that out after I have a MH to work with. The ceaper the better as cash is tight these days so let me know what you got and what you want..... Have some nice coral to trade for part if interested. Some nice zoo colonies with a big variety of color and a huge green brain that needs a new home as well as coral beauty, or...... let me know what you want and I can probably get ahold of it. Thanks(naughty)

meet Tuesdays or thursdays are best for me or sunday evenings. Let me know if that works for anybody else.

Update Just wanted to let all know that surviving baby is growing fast and doing great!!! Thanks for all the advice lent.... Have another batch coming anytime soon, hopefully tonight(clap). But this time I am prepared for sure. I have the daddy moved into a 15 gal tall with 2 sponges going so when he has them I can put him back in the main tank with the other adults and just raise the babies out in the 15 gal. I have brine going around the clock in 2 hatcheries and I mastered the decapsulation process. Now I just need to get a phyto and roti culture going, but since right now I am just having erectus babies I am not so worried about having them. I will feed some roti-feast with live new brine for the first couple of days though, then just new brine. Thanks

I have a beautiful show quality coral beauty I would like to sell(naughty). Hes pretty large and is flawless no fin tearing or nips! A nice show piece........ I have no digital to take pics but if you are seriously interested you can come by and take a look at him. I would like to get $30 for it as it is in such good condition. Also it has been in my reef tank with zoos, polyps and even a couple of SPS but I have never seen it showing any interest in any of my corals!!!! I have kept him well fed and happy!!!! I really hate to see him go(sad) but I need to clear out my tank a little as it is pretty overstocked now.

bad news (sad) Well down to just 1........ This is the only baby I actually got out of the tank! All the babies who I took from the sump seemed to stay at the surface most of the time and I am sure they probably swallowed air while going down the overflow of terror:eek:......I 1 that is left spend more of his time now ancored to the macro or swimming around hunting....Hes gotten very large noe, about triple the size he was when I saved him! It discouraging but I know I'll be ready for the next 2 batches that are approaching. Now I also have 3 pair of Kuda purchased yesterday as well. They are still pretty young though. Thanks all......(clap)

Thanks Also Thanks much to JManroe for the live brine the babies are eating them and very happy!!!!

Update Yes they are erectus fry and lost some yesterday but still have a couple and they seem to be doing very well. I am going over and feeding them 1 time in the morning and then the owner is feeding them 2-3 times throughout the day and then I feed them in the evening after I do a water change of about 10-15%. So they are beeing well fed. I think a lot of the losses have been because of the unsurity about what type they were and us feeding only rotifers for the first few days. I think they were probably not getting enough nutrition to start........ I feel really bad about the losses but I know for the next batch of fry born at leased. I know I have 1 coming soon and am pretty sure the daddy of this bach apears to be pregnant again! So now I am ready for when more come!!!!!(scary) Thank you to all who offered your advice and wellwishes they were much appreciated!!!(clap)

Update I will try to get a good pic of them later today but it might be more helpful to tell that they were bought from www.seahorse.com and they were sold as "Sunburst". Its hard because I am caught in the middle these are not my babies but I was told by my client to keep them alive. So I am making 2 trips per day to where they are 1 to check and feed some of the suspended baby brine which they appear to be eating along with rotifers, and another to do about a 20% water change. I tied hatching out hatch mix but they will not hatch for some reason..... I am not sure whats going on with that. most of the fry seem to be hitching somewhat they spend a lot of time free floating around the tank but also spend some time hitched to the macro in the tank. Thanks for all the offers and the help. If you have some live brine you could sell that would be great please pm a number I can reach you. I am very busy myself so the closer you are to tigard the better for me so I will not have to travel long. Again Thank you all and I will keep updates coming daily!(scary)

meet I'll be there!

Update Most have made it, its been about 3-4 days now. I lost a couple yesterday for some reason but the rest seem to be doing pretty well. All are eating well, some are hitching to the macro I put in with them. I have just been feeding them rotifeast with selcon. I have not had luck with the brine eggs I have maybe they are to old or something........? They do not seem to be hatching. I am pretty sure they are Kudas. the adults look very similar to the picture of the Kuda for sale on seahorsesource.com. I'll keep you updated.

DOH! A tank of ponies I care for just had a batch of babies born!!! Got sucked through over flow!!! DOH! 25 or so were alive and well in the sump!!!:eek: I knew it was coming but thought I had a couple more days to a week.......(scary) I through together a 10 gal with a little sand from the main tank some macro and an air stone and heater to get them through the night, oh and water from the main tank!. They seemed to be doing pretty good all said and done. I am unsure about what type they are though. They are yellow and I thought maybe Kuda but I am not really sure. I have no Idea how old they are but they are a lot bigger than what I was expecting them to be. a lot were lost maybe 20-30 dead in the sump or chewed up be the return pump? They seem to be attaching readily to anything that comes within reach including each other. It pretty hilarious to see 8 sea horse fry grabbing each other and pulling in all directions. I fed them some rotifeast after they were all in thier new tank and they seemed to be eating it, they would swim over to it and reach out tward it at leased. Does anyone have any advice? Post it or send me a PM Thanks

Rock I'm interested in a bunch of various sized rocks maybe 30-40 lbs, but am unable to pick them up for 1-2 weeks if you can wait that long then please send me a PM Thanks
