  1. To follow up LOL

     

    Get any skimmer that's a cone and add a bubble blaster either 3k or 5k depending on body size.

    Bulk reef had a great video comparing skimmers but again it all comes down to pump and air they draw since basically every skimmer these days is just a cone

    Good luck on the search

  2. I'm more of the belief it's the pump that's the difference. How many skimmers do you see that are nearly the exact same body style

     

    FWIW I run an SWC come, same as reef octopus same as coral vue

     

    The difference is in the pump. The original pumped died about 4 years ago and I went with the bubble blaster 5000, coupled with my avast swabbie (neck cleaner) 

     

    Never a short answer from me 😜

  3. I've got one I could sell for 350.00 😜

    Better yet visit Mighty Magnets they're in Oregon- that's what I paid, it's for up to 1.25" thickness, floats and has a 4x6 pad

     

    Time to step up your game since you're in the big boy tank club 🤣

    I've read whats important is ratio of Nitrate and Phosphate.   15:1 is the right range.   Yours is 14:1 (at 10 NO3 : 0.7 P04, which we know has NO3 wide range)    I'm not there yet...  working on it.

    I wouldn't chase numbers, its not an exact science in the glass (or acrylic) box we call our ocean

     

    Nice pickup on the meter!!@TheClark

    I'm pretty sure there was a compliment somewhere buried in all those insults, so I'm just going to say "Thank you, Brad."  🙃

    I don’t think there was one :happy:

     

    I’m believing if I had feelings that post would more than likely make me feel remorse/bad/evil/hateful

    Glad I don’t :thumbs:

     

    In all honesty you’re killin it and I don’t mean in the literal sense, whatever has caused you trouble in the past seems to have met it’s match 

    Juat keeping a maricultured piece living can be a feat in itself- great work on the growth, best I’ve seen!

     

    All hail the Acro Queen

    The market is so tiny for coral like that lol. I don't think anyone local will spend that much on a 1" frag that looks similar to many of our $20-40 frags. 

     

    Looks like you have a buyer. I think pieces like these are for ebay and vendors. 

    eBay is where you’ll be scammed IMO- small group of scrupulous buyers 

    The market is tiny in Portland, maybe a tiny handful of collectors this wouldn’t have lasted 30 minutes on R2R -IME

    FWIW, it’s over an inch :drinking:

  7. No offense taken @SuncrestReef I don’t bother trying to understand, I simply accept it is what it is and people pay what they do. 
     

    I’m a collector of over priced pieces, there is quite a few other people (crazy like me) that buy/collect them too- not so much in the Oregon market tho

    This piece will take a special kind of crazy, I may be the only local like that and I’m ok with that 🤣

  8. Well not much happening with my micro colony just about has the epoxy encrusted but I moved it out of display since Im tired of tiles and discs in there so it was banished to the frag tank under 8 bulb T5 Its all tied together so the biggest difference is  flow and lighting (hows that for a run on sentence :thumbs: )

    On a side note that super glue trick is working on my carpet nem- :rimshot:
