My turbo snails are much better behaved than my urchin. That sucker will rip up frag plugs that are glued down lol

Some turbo snails will help. Those guys eat an amazing amount of algae.

Here is my update.  no new growth on the paly--2 heads

I count 11 heads on the zoa.

They get pissed when I move them around for a picture lol.

What are the odds?  I never win anything but I just found out I won an SPS 4 pack in the Barrier Reef drawing!  Now I just need to figure out how to get them lol.  Another road trip?

Nice! Nice to meet you at Jeffs! I got you confused with saltwater newbie ???? It would be fun to set up a group for a private appointment for his sale! CY is a good guy!

About 4 hours

OH MAN, nice looking corals man, I have not been able to find a Green Planet anywhere.

One day I will make that trip to Washington, maybe car pool with some one and bring a cooler.

They had half a dozen of them.  It was one of the door busters too at $19.99, couldn't pass it up.

I drove up to Barrier Reef Aquariums for their customer appreciation sale on Friday.  I was definitely not disappointed.  Lots of great deals, it was hard to leave.

ended up leaving with-

turbo snails

astrea snails

green planet acro

unknown zoa

red tabling acro

8 peppermint shrimp

fire shrimp

skunk cleaner shrimp

diamond goby

mandarin dragonette

blue linkia star

and a bag of sand.

My new fish were not social enough this evening to get a picture.

And If that I wasn't enough, I had to stop and see Jeff at CNC on the way home.  Went to see him for salt but ended up with a clam and a sea hare as well.

Unfortunately the sea hare passed away this evening.  Not sure why, he was roaming the tank fine for the last 18 hours.  Weird.  Guess Ill have to find another solution to my GHA.

Thank you to everyone at Barrier Reef Aquariums.  Thank you Jeff, it was good to see you again.

I have a colony I could cut but Albany is not very local to Oregon City.

Here is my first entry.  Looks like 8 heads to me.

And 2 heads on the paly.  I really pissed it off when I picked it up for the photo.

My system is a 240 gallon display with a 40 breeder sump and a 29 gallon refugium.

flow is provided from 2 MP-60s and the return pump

light is provided from 5 Ocean Revive Arctic-S026.

Filtration is done with a Reef Octopus Elite 220

I run 2 reactors with carbon and gfo.

calcium is maintained with a Reef Octopus dual chamber calcium reactor.

I feed once a day and alternate between pellets, LRS frozen food, and algae sheets.

I wont be at the meeting but im off work Monday.  Let me know if you will be around.

I still want in

I would like to get in on another growout too.

lets see if this is better

Wierd, stupid phone.

Picked this guy up at Cuttlefish today. Never seen a Potters with that much blue before. Beautiful fish, thanks Jeff.

Congratulations, that was some serious growth! I had a good early start but my frag just stopped growing the last 3 months.

Still at 9 heads

Make sure in your browser it just reads "PNWMAS.Org"

 

A few other people have had a similar problem that their browser auto fills a recent address. Since we switched servers as well as software, all of those recent addresses are not longer valid and would display as that code. I am guessing that is the root of your problem. If you still have troubles please let me know and I will look into them. I am using Chrome at the moment, so I think it would have to be something beyond just that.

 

HTH

That worked, thanks.  New site is much faster, I can even use tap-a-talk again.

December update, still at 9 heads

Im interested in the 2 large media reactors and maybe the hammerhead/barracuda hybrid. Are you available today?

Do you run media reactors? If so, what are you running in them? Im thinking of running phosguard in my tank.

Very nice pics. What lights are you using these days?

Why is a Duck fan a "bandwagon fan" just because they didnt go to school there? My father went to U of O and I have been a duck fan since he took me to my first duck game in 1994. I supported them through all their mediocre seasons and now that they are doing good there is resentment towards them and their fans. I root for the Beavers anytime they are not playing the Ducks because Im an Oregon native. I hope all the Pac-12 teams do well so we dont have to continually hear about how the SEC is the dominant conference.
