Cool see you there!! We will be the group with all the buckets and people looking at us funny!

I have a 12 gallon eclipse too. Only mine houses my mantis shrimp!!

That would be cool to see you there Eddie...

I am game if you guys are ready for more creatures...

Hey I am game for a weekday trip just need a week or two advance so I can put in for PTO...

"My ridiculous string of good luck continued throughout the day, as I blindly netted through kelp several different times in the tide pools and pulled up a yellow Clingfish w/red spots one time, and a 12" Kelp Greenling on another swipe." Mind you he netted the kelp greenling like 1 min after I was netting in the same spot. And like 5 seconds after he said we scared everthing lets try another spot. And whamo here come a large fish in a net.

Brought back a Couple surf smelt(well only one since the other jumped) And a confused look on my face after talking to the police(inside joke). All in all it was an amazing trip. Cant wait for the next one.

Sweet that was a fun trip!!! How did the other creatures we collected fair. Ie the Surf smelt?

Sounds like a good plan.... I was thinking the same thing.

WAAA WHOOOO!! CANT WAIT!!

True this I need a tank in my garage!!!

Yeah a day that I can actually dont work. Let me check my calander. I would love to go. I will shoot you a PM later tonight or just give you a call.

You are not flaming anyone all your info is very specific and very helpful. Just another point as to why I love this site. Thanks for chiming in with all your years of experience!!!

If it is the same as an auto system it would be PAG oil. PAG oil is specific to R134A. There are also several different thicknesses. I use 150 on most stuff. Something that small may take 45.

Yes it will need oil. Thats what keeps the compressor from wearing out!

Sounds like tropher is your man... I only service automobiles.

I have a portable machine that hooks to an air compressor to create a vacuum. Then you could try one of those canned R134 bottles(have a few kicking around here). I am willing to give it a try here at the shop one Saturday. I have acess to many adapter fittings and my automotive A/C machine. In therory it should work...

I am down to go some time I love tidepooling. And once I get this 75 build finished I will do a coldwater garage tank.

I have alot of 4 gallon buckets with lids(square). I also know where to get them very very cheap. How many you need I can part with some. I know I am kinda far away. Also I have noticed most of the square ones come out of food making plants/ resturants.

Is it growing that fast? I am getting rid of some more(cheato). From the same plant a gave Harold. I also have a couple mangroves I can part with

I dont really have any zoas I wanna trade but how many green backs does it take to get them?

That is cool wonder if he is considered albino.

Where abouts in Tigard? I work Mon-Friday 8am to 6pm or so but could possibly swing by on my way home from work to check/top off stuff. But could for sure be on call for emergencies. I am not the most experienced reefer but can follow directions well LOL!!!

Well the melanurus is out and about today after work. Cruising around eating flat worms yah! Still no signs of the red coris though. Guess only time will tell. Thanks for all the great info and reassurance.

I want this nem real bad. Just never had one before. I am afraid of it eating my fish(especially my eel who hides under my wesophillia alot) or moving and killing some of my corals. Man it is so tempting I am staring at the tank thinking how I can make it work.
