Thought I’d share my new water station set up, because I struggled to find examples online for something this… maybe it will help someone else 

I was looking for something that fit the below criteria:

After looking everywhere for containers that fit what I needed, they all cost like $250 each so I opted for the 20 gallon brute cans

I didn’t want to deal with a lot of plumbing (more things that can go wrong lol), so we opted to run a split RODI line directly to the brutes with a float valve in each.. one is for ATO water and the other I add salt (with a heater and power head inside). I have a valve at the bottom of each to access the water.. easy peasy 

I’ve had it up and running for a few weeks and I’m loving it!

I didn’t realize this thread was still here! Our little duplex basement tank room was epic 😍

Welcome back! We were around 13 years ago so we’ve probably met.. or at least you met my husband Alex (grassi on the forum). 
 

Its crazy how much has changed in the hobby over the past decade! 

Probably the best meeting presentation I’ve seen!

@Lexinverts do you mind posting the links or names of the products/companies you talked about?

So cool and amazing photos!! We went to Redang Island and Kuala Lumpur a few years ago and it was an amazing experience 😊

June, still 2 polyps

Yeah honestly figured out that our tanks or at least mine reflects my mental health.

We’ve all been there, or will someday be there… I’ve definitely been there myself the past couple months. Hang in there 💙

I always start with a cheap hardy zoa and if you want did I always start with a green birdsnest

As a newbie, I highly recommend watching the BRS  YouTube videos 

Hi all.. I still have far too many commitments to dying family members to commit to a position that requires a commitment to activities. I’d love to stay on the board though 

April submit.. up from one polyp to 2

Below available in Lake Oswego.. can meet at CnC on weekends 

2 Radion XR15 pro, gen 4. Work with Mobius and have boxes for both - $200 each (didn’t check if fans are working, super common for these to go out on radions and easy to replace)

48” ATI T5 fixture, 8 bulbs possible but I’d removed the middle 2 reflectors and hung an XR30 from the middle to MacGuyver this into a hybrid (since ATI makes the best T5s). You can easily add reflectors back in. - $200 with 2 new bulbs included 

Radion RMS rail with 2 arms, fits tanks 28.5-38.5” - $100 for set 

Radions + reefbreeders 

@MrBret Here’s my first entry, beautiful piece!

Big thanks to @obrien.david.j for sharing all your reefing wizardry with us!
 

I almost didn’t come after getting some heartbreaking family news right before leaving my house, but I’m glad I did. I really appreciate our reefer community ❤️

How much are you selling your Radion gen 4?

$200, it's an XR15 pro, works on Mobius, and I have the box

I also have a gen 3 XR30 for $200, also pro and also have the box

We’ve set up a PNWMAS instagram account 🙌 Tag #PNWMAS to potentially get your photos reposted, or just follow along for another way to find other local reefers to buy/sell/learn from

Ive been dealing with this and it’s driving me crazy. When you delete it does it delete what’s already programmed or just delete it from the app? 

Thanks to everyone for such a fun meeting! I wanted to back out because my tanks were looking bad and it was embarrassing, but I’ll just plan to host again in a few months lol 

We definitely have some work to do on the equipment swap and will give it another go at the March meeting!

Some equipment I’ll have:

-  Radion xr15 gen 4

-  Radion rns rail 

-  Some left over stuff for rock scaping 

-  8 bulb ATI fixture, 48 inches

I’ll list more as I go through the boxes in the attic

When meeting at a members home, the vibe is casual and respectful of the owner.    I'm confident @reefrun will guide us to where we're welcome to hang out and explore (likely around a tank), that's where I'll be.     Because we're holding an equipment swap, I'm expecting some space away from a tank for us as well.

Casual, Chill, Share.    I always learn something, from some member, and enjoying talking tanks.   Come, check it out.  It's two hours, enjoy.

[Additional inputs welcomed from other club leaders.]    

Yep, exactly this. We used to have pretty much all the meetings in someone’s home. It’s fun to see how others set up their tanks and corals that have grown out. This is my first time hosting one, and I’m excited with geek out about corals with a group at my house!
