Hi Benny, I think you gave me a green Recodia mushroom today. It looks great. Big thanks Benny.

Hi CA2OR, I gave Benny that green Monti. I just want to warn you. Those Monti grow fast. I have my Calcium at about 450 in a 300 gallons tank. The Monti at one time took 1/3 of my aquarium.

Montis for trade I have these for Trade. I will sell them to you as well for $20?

I got to make room for the corals that I wanted so I am selling two of mine Tridacna Crocea Clams. I am selling them for $39 each. They are healthy and they look good. If you want them, come by today Thursday July 9, 2009. I am not available from July 10 – 12. I can meet you sometimes next week as well. I also have a green motipora for sale at $29. It is about 5"-6" in diameter. This coral is growing like crazy in my tank. Email me with your phone number and I will call you back. Thanks simplereef@yahoo.com

Ahhh the beauty of not changing water in the aquarium. I started saltwater about 15 years ago when no one (stores) is selling salt water. I listened and took advice from aquarium stores and buy all kind of chemicals (calcium, iodine, strontium bala bala bala….). I soon found myself broke and my friend the guy whose got me into this mess is in financial problem as well. Like CA2OR, I began to neglect changing water because I got ZERO money for this hobby. As this happens, I began to see my reef tank doing better. I went to libraries and done research as much as I could about keep corals and salt water fishes. My luck really change when I talked to the original owner of Upscale (I think he retired now and his son took over the business) and talked to Woody at Sea Horse. The gentleman at Upscale told me that if you setup your aquarium right the first time you should not have to change your water at all. Well looking at his first show tank at the time, I said to myself I am doing it. Talking to Woody about the refugium is the next best thing happen to my hobby. At that time, I already know about refugium from books that I read. Woody gave me the push to put that into my aquarium. I own these two men a big THANKS. I am not saying my method will work for everyone. Heck I am not even using RO water. I am just using this cheap water filter that I stumble onto as well and it is working for me. I have a lot of soft corals in my tank and a few hard corals. They are doing fine. Nowadays, I just add iodine, strontium, calcium, magnesium to my tank weekly and enjoy the aquarium with my friends and family. I understand the push for changing water at the reef stores but in this economy saving money is the right choice. Why spend money on water for the water you have not use (Water Card) is the thought I want to share with you all. I am new to this site and I wanted to share with you my experience. Thank you all for reading these info.

Hi my name is Tom. I am new to this website as well. Is there place on this website that we can go to to look for exchanging corals?

3 months???? You think 3 months are a long time? I setup my 300 gallons in June 2001 and I changed water about 3 times. My Reef tank look good and corals are growing like crazy. I don't even have an RO unit or a calcium reactor. I use a specific water filter that sell over the counter. I got the idea of not changing water from the original owner of Upscale. I have a plennum in my tank. Ontop of all this I have a good sckimmer that I build. Some of the fishes I have in my aquarium are over 15 years. I think changing water regularly are being push or advertise buy the stores that sell them. One more note. If you live in the Portland Oregon area, you can log onto the Portland Water Bureau and find out exactly what are in the water that you drink.
