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.

Good deal. Let me see if I can make some room in the 90 I have been wanting a carpet for a while now.

Both my black and red scooters do that as well. I have had other wrasses that bury. But usualy come out at least once a day.

It was getting chased by the female maroon clown. The maroon never actually attack it that I could see. Would just chase it when the wrasse swam past their(clowns) cave. I thought fish need to pass water over their gills to breath. I did not know they could stay in the sand that long. I am going to buy a book on wrasses tonight if I can find one.

What should watch for in the skimmer? I never thought of that before. No hermit feeding frenzy yet!!

I just got a red coris wrasse on Sat! Got him in the tank. Noticed him being chased a little. Went back later he is no where to be found. I assume he has buried himself. Next day I look no signs of him. None to be found. I looked every where for him(on the floor as well). As of yesterday I still have not seen him. I got a melanurus wrasse yesterday(To go in the other tank). He was in the tank 30 min eating bugs and worms. I watched him bury himself. So my question is how long will these guys stay burried. And should I be worried there is a coris wrasse carcass poluting my tank?

Good idea Lowman I have been pitching mine in the trash can(kenya tree). Time to weed the garden again.

Yeah the snail came out of my tank. I dont feel bad it was dead. It ate alot of palys.

+1 On golden dwarf morays. Or other eels for that matter. My golden is my favorite fish by far...
