i bought a bucket, but corals there are way over priced. i do like paul though, he's allways been cool to me.

does anyone out there have any halimeda algae in there tanks. it grows like a weed in mine and i'm not sure if i like it or not. everything i read about it says it's a good thing, but it's starting to become a pain.

you just gotta "share the love"

i'd like a piece too! if its still available. where and when?

can we see a full tank shot?

hey reefboy, i just spent the last couple of days in medford for work. i tried to find "toyally exotic corals of oregon" in the yellow pages, but had no luck. i did find "reef-tech" and paid them a visit. great store, wish we had something like that in eugene. what do you know about them?

love the pics douglas!

thanks douglas! i had a great time. it was cool to meet everyone, especially all the eugene/ springfield guys. thanks to the sponsors too, i was lucky enough to leave with an awesome sps coral! yeah! as well as some other goodies! can't wait till next time. you're the man!

nice work, great idea!

thanks for all the info guys, i think i might try moving it lower because it seems to be bleaching out. although andys description of "rounded branches" equaling "deep water" and not collection depth seems accurate. as far as pictures go, my photography skills are about as good as the quality of my camera, which is crap. but i'll try tomorrow.

as an sps noob, i have what may be a dumb question. do "deep water" acropora need less light than other acropora? if so, should it be placed lower on the reef?(scratch)

yeah, those are gorgeous!

i run a mag 9.5 with 2 1" overflows and a 3/4" return. i have a ball valve on the return that i use to adjust the flow. its been working great for the past 3 years.

hey frank, i think peppermint shrimp will eat aiptaisia. at least according to bluezooaquatics.com they do. you might want to try them first.

looking good! i like it!

i have an empty 20gal. just sitting around, you're welcome to it.

hey mike, i always figured the fish died and then my coral banded shrimp ate it. i never thought that the shrimp could have been the cause of death. hhmmm. let us know if the trap works, i might have to try it. can i put the shrimp in my fuge, or will it eat all my pods?

"share the love" please.thank you.

i'm jealous, for some reason i cant explain, i've never had any luck with nems

80 gal huh, lets see some pics, what are the dimensions?

thanks garrett for the info, i'd like some crazy flow for my sps corals, but i dont think i want to look at 4 of these pumps. i hope 2 + my mag 9 from my return will be sufficient. if i win the lottery this weekend (like i plan to), i'll be in touch.

would 2 of the 1400 on a jbj wavemaker be enough flow for my 90 gal? they're a heck of a lot cheaper than the mp40 i've been dreaming about.

wow! awesome color! where did you get it?

in my opinion, you'll need a skimmer for sure, a hob would work (no sump needed). i have cc in my reef/formerly fowlr and against all odds i have no problems with it. as far as the gravel goes, its much easier to make changes now than it is once you have fish in it. the canister filter will work great as a media reactor (carbon) and your idea for the

fuge is a good one. just my opinion.

that was my assumption, but you know what that leads to.
