What do you think about this one? http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/for/1788578554.html Only a 65, but it does have a chiller. Bigger sump, better equipment.

Grandma. She babysits. And she has a pickup.

ha ha, I'm patient... it's Gillian who isn't! (Also good that she doesn't have her own screen name to defend herself.) Anyway, I'm fine with the drive. I go up and back in the same day for Mariners games easily enough. I'm leaving this one up to Gillian anyway since I have taken over the small tanks. Oh yeah, and she makes all the $ while I'm in grad school. This is the ad: http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/for/1794027518.html and here is the full tank shot they sent, along with a bunch of other pics. Opinions?

So there is a tank in Seattle that looks pretty promising. We're considering driving up Friday to take a look at it. However, in a couple of the pictures I noticed some small-ish clumps of what looks like aiptasia. Red flag? How hard is it to get rid of? It's an established tank with a considerable amount of livestock so we wouldn't want to just nuke everything. While we're at it, are there any other red flags we should look for when looking at established tanks? Our tanks are nanos so we aren't as familiar with sumps & skimmers, etc. Thanks

Thanks for the tips. We'll be going on a little field trip later today to check them out. Awesome advice, thanks, Alex. I've been wondering if the 55 is too narrow since they're only like 12" wide... no wider than our nanos really.

OK, some of y'all called it, but we're now thinking about adding a larger tank. Apparently I am hogging our little tanks and now Gillian wants her very own big one! (whistle) I don't think she wants to start completely from scratch... looking for something with some live sand and live rock at least. Anyone? Thanks.

awesome! how big is the main tank?

PM sent for skimmer, return pump, overflow, and sump.

Sounds like you have good taste. I got the chalice from Tim also... has 4 or 5 eyes.

Had a great visit to Westside on Saturday where we got some gorgeous stuff. It's definitely worth the drive out there! Looking forward to next month's meeting at your place. Also got an awesome cyphastrea from Reefnjunkie who gave me a free alien eye favia as well! I even got to see him dressed up all proper in a tie, but I assume that wasn't just for me. Check out the pics in my 12g tank thread. Thanks again guys!

Some pics of our recent additions! Thanks to Westside and Reefnjunkie for the hot corals and the great deals! (clap) From Westside: Blueberry monti Acro - you can't see the pretty green polyps in the picture because I had just added it... also, I don't remember the name! I should write these things down. Watermelon chalice... I think.. should get a green rim around the edge: Reefnjunkie: Cyphastrea: Alien eye favia:

Looks nice! I like the peach frogspawn.

Sure, I'm happy to take the whole thing, and the freebie! Are you going to be at the meeting?

Cyphastrea-Milli-Monti-Zoas Hey brad I'll take the cyphastrea. Either the whole plug or half if someone else is interested too.

Congratulations, Alex and Jamie!!! Guess you had that baby shower just in time. We are like 10 minutes away from your house, so if you guys ever need a hot meal or something, we would be happy to drop something off for you!

I hear you... I grew up with the AZ heat and this is quite refreshing to me!

I'm the only one who likes rain? Seriously? Boo.

Thanks, Kim. I moved things around since Saturday so it looks different already!

sweet!!! when do we get to vote about the lighting? i vote PAR 38!

(PS: the light is awesome, is what I was going to say)

LOL... it wasn't me, it was the baby! He also renamed everything on the computer desktop and hid the dock! He's a menace... LOL. But I wouldn't describe him so much as a tranquilizer gun as a stun gun.
