Hey there folks. I am once again cleaning out the aquarium store-room, and I need to let this little tank go. It's in really good shape with nary a scratch on it. This would make a beautiful little pico reef! It's an ADA 30W, Dimensions are 12"x7"x9.5" (LxWxH). Approx vol is 3.5 gallons. High clarity low iron glass. $40. I am in Eugene, OR, but I wouldn't mind driving up to Albany to meet someone.

I'll stick around. I can at least admire reefs through the interwebs, vicariously.

I have a couple of folks in line for the rock/sand. But You are definitely welcome to come snag the sharknose. He's really chill, has gotten comfortable enough with people that he'll eat mysis from my fingers.

Update: All corals called for. Refractometer called for. Both pico skim boxes called for. Media basket called for. Test kits sold. Goby still available Rock and sand still available after everything else goes. That was crazy fast.

Emerald, Do you want the refractometer - or should it go to catfish2.. your call since you dibbs'd it first.

As soon as I got it running, I got put in a work situation where I will not be home to care for a reef tank, and my wife wants nothing to do with it. The universe doesn't want me to have a reef tank right now I guess. This is the last straw though.. My employer has done this to me before, and I am going to have a serious chat, and start looking for employment elsewhere. I will hold the refractometer for ya, if you want it.

SOLD

Anybody who comes by and snags all the livestock will also get a free full 15.4LB bucket of Red Sea Coral Pro salt.

Some more stuff - this I can ship if needed: Salifert test kits - Cal, Alk, Mag, NItrate, Phosphate - All have 2017 dates and above, used maybe 5 times each. - Take them all for $30 2 x Pico Aquariums AC50 Surface Skimmer box. Both include clip for side of filter - $15 shipped each BRS refractometer. - $20 shipped InTank AC50 Media Basket - $20 shipped

Got some bad news today, and I am just not going to be able to enjoy my tank so am tearing down.. again.. So, in the interest of re-homing stuff in a hurry, I am clearing it out cheap. Branching Frogspawn - 4 heads $10 for whole colony Branching hammer - 9 heads $20 for whole colony Purple & Green Ricordea - $5 ORA Sharknose Goby - This guy eats mysis like a boss, will include 3 packs of mysis free to get you started - free to a good home 9 Cerith snails - free to a good (and hopefully with algae to munch) home Cycled Reefcleaners base rock (same as BRS reefsavers), and some uncycled - Free to anyone who wants it (once the tank is empty) 10-15lbs of fiji pink live sand - Free (once the tank is empty) I am in Eugene, and not really looking to drive, so you'd have to come to me. Here's a pic of the corals: Hammer: Frogspawn: Ricordea Sharknose goby:

It's funny.. I finally take the time to post a thread about my tank, and a day later I get some bad news. Without going into it too much, I am going to just throw in the towel on reefing again. It's been rough going from the start, and I am just out of patience with everything else going on in my life. So I guess everything in my setup is currently for sale cheap so I can move it fast. I will post a thread up in classifieds this afternoon when I get home from work.

$150 - and I'll ship it if someone doesn't want to drive. Just saw what they are asking for these since the quietdrives came out. Figured a price adjustment was in order.

You don't mess around. That thing is going to look nuts when they start filling in.

Just made my way through your thread. Nice work man. I love the light bar you made for the kessel - ultilitarian, but in a very very good way. As far as the hydor goes, if you don't have a sumped system it might not be the best choice. They require a pretty signficant drop in water level before it will fill, so having something using the display water level could cause a pretty significant swing in salinity. The only other system I can really vouch for on such a small system is the tunze nano, as the float switch on that thing is super sensitive. Honestly though, for the price, you could probably put together a ATO from a floatswitch and a relay for waaay cheaper and it would give you the sensitivity you'd need. I agree on the LED. One of many reasons why I recently decided to go back to fluorescents. Though you say that the kessil has pretty good color and no disco effect. That is something that interests me. Do you see any color separation at all? I noticed that almost all of my LED fixtures presented some amount of color separation in the shimmer when there was significant surface agitation. Those are blastos in the second pic right? Where'd you pic those guys up?

Indeed. I actually swapped over to the 11.4 from a standard 10 gallon.. and now that I did it, I am not really sure if I really needed to ,as I think the layout in that tank actually looked better. Every once in a while I get a case of "keeping up with the Joneses" , and I buy something totally unnecessary in regards to the enjoyment of my tank. If anything, the Mr. Aqua tank kind of sketches me out cause it has so little silicone that it looks like it might just fall apart, and it's a weird (17.75" in length) size so finding decent lighting that will work is neigh impossible. I may actually buy an aqueon tank or deep blue tank in a standard length down the road.
