Blue Z Reef

Interested in the Yumas, but I am down in Eugene. Any chance you'd be willing to ship em to me? I'm thinking we might be able to get away with priority since you are so close.

No worries if no, might not be worth your time.

That would be a bit spendy for $5-10 worth of Yumas since priority would be about $15. I haven't shipped any corals myself and would rather not. If you ever make it up here hit me up and I'll hook you up!

Everything is located in Orchards area of Vancouver

Yeah those are GB Sunflowers

You better... cause once they get going... like weeds!!!

Yeah it was a nice frag to begin with but once they hit the rack, off to the races!

Make offers on the birdsnest, really just want that half of my rack back ????????

Ready to frag those midas zoas yet? :o corals are looking great bud!

I'll get to it one of these days LOL! I really need to, they are growing all over the place now ????

Clearing out some space on the frag rack

(3X frags) Sunny D zoas, 4-5 heads minimum- $15

Rainbow Raptor zoas, 3 heads - $15

(2X frags) Red digi, multi branch, encrusting - $10

Large green birdsnest, mini colony approx 4-6" with many branches - $20

Neon Green Yumas - $5/ 2 heads loose, have tons lol

2 head of green/purple frogspawn (not fragged yet) - $20

Only real trade I'm after is a torch, longer tentacle preferred. Maybe an utter chaos frag

2 month old pic, everything is bigger now

Newer pic of birdsnest, actinics on sorry! Taking up most of my rack!

I'd check R2R, I've picked 2 up on there and rarely see them here. GL

I'm still in

Lol that's cool! Do you have 2 or did you just buy a preggers? Will be interesting to see if they hatch

If be curious to see if that style works as well as claimed. You saw mine, just using the standard SF bay hatchery base with a 2ltr on it. Works fine for me so far, just have to shut it off with lights out and wait for them to go to the bottom. I siphon through a brine net from eBay using the same air inlet tube.

My only warning about tiles is to use the rough/non finished side. Glue does not stick well at all to the finished glazed side of the tile and people will have frags flying off the plugs (which I would assume would be disqualification).

You ever check the bearing to see if it's locked up? I noticed this happening on the one I borrowed for R&D on the pinwheel. I believe what happens is it gets something in there and locks up. If the pump isn't turned off reasonably soon it burns up the motor. May want to write that shutoff into your program for the water level sensor. Could save a pump! Seems like just a few thousands extra clearance would have saved this from happening.

Or id get the 220 for the larger pump. These new DC pumps are beast!

It's gotta be that ceramic bearing, the tolerances are too tight. I would try and sand the inside of it down a bit but that's just my best guess. Glad you got it handled though!

It's depends on your livestock. I have 4 larger tangs and a few wrasses and others. I feed at least 1x a day, usually 2x. Once with pellets/dry and once with frozen. If I don't my blue hippo gets hungry and bites on some LPS :(

And for corals, I feed about 2x a week broadcast, not individual

I only see them when feeding usually. I wouldn't necessarily relate that to death, usually everything is contracted if it's pissed or dying.

It's probably just one diode that's out, if you have a soldering iron and multimeter it's a quick fix. I'd help ta out but your a bit far from Vantuckey

It depends on what corals you are putting in. Since it's so low though, your probably gonna overpower most corals if you exceed about 40%

Not sure if the optics can be removed but that would be the only way to safely crank them higher

That SWC sounds beefy! I'd keep an eye on air draw when considering a new skimmer. The curve 9 only pulls 35 SCFH vs the 70 that the SWC does. I look at what the pump is capable of over what the company rates their capacity for.

If you want something around 400 new, check out the RO Prime 200. The pump air draw is the same as the BM but the skimmer is the same as the elite model I have. Having had both, I will say the quality on the new RO skimmers blows the BMs out of the water. Plus if you eventually add a DC pump you have an elite model then.

Looks cool, $110 shipped from fishstreet isn't bad either! Oh jebao! What will you make next?!? LOL

What pump are you looking at? TheClark uses the jebao one successfully and they are cheap at only $100

I'm always down for a grow out

Dosing is for keeping your levels stable. If they aren't moving or you are keeping them up with water changes you don't need to dose. You may try dosing aminos or feeding (corals) more to help your LPS grow faster as long as your filtration can keep up with the extra nutrient input.

I have a life proof case on my phone. Still too nervous to submerge it.

Do it! Reviews say it's fine

Awesome, need to buy a waterproof case now

I found out that I need a total re-roof of cedar shingles.

 

I've been shocked by some of the quotes I'm getting.

Shop around, the company we went with was literally half of another company. Products used were almost identical. The markup on some of these companies is astounding!
