Did some cleaning today, broke out the cheap shop vac to clean out my sump and do a water change. Since the skimmer sold and I’m waiting for my new one I figured it was a good time to get all the crud out of the sump. I also ordered a small return pump to put in the sump so keep the detritus from building up in the sump. I’m debating if I want to build a refugium for the sump or not once the new skimmer arrives. The only downfall is the cure time for the silicone I won’t be able to run the sump for at least a couple days. little before and after vacuum pics.

Well one ballast is dead! Going to close this thread for now. Tentatively sold to crabby if the store will swap me out for a new one that actually works..

I can head to you in a few. Either meet you there or home Depot or? It'll take me about 45 or so to get there.

Where in Oregon City are you? I've got to make a run for bark dust and could meet you

I’ve never gone for weight. With 100 plants in flower at a time that came along with it. I hated growers who only bragged about weight and then their product was garbage. I started doing this to help my wife with her problems. Then it turned into something a little more for a while. This plant was vegged under t5 for its first 60 days. Then went outside for an experiment. The others were cloned under t5 and then DE phantom for the rest of their growing days.

Obviously if you want to run it over a frag tank you will want to change to some ati bulbs. For veggie starts this would be perfect.

6500k bulbs are in it. I’ve grown plants to teens with these lights easily. I ran them over my 144 spot cloners and ran 3 of them in a small veg tent. They most certainly will grow but I wouldn’t suggest trying to flower with them.

This is a brand new light. It was a backup for one of my grows. No need for it anymore. I was going to use it over a grow out tank in my garage but I have 3 motors going into the garage so I won’t have room to run a grow out tank until I get the motors done. I’m in Oregon city. Could use this for a frag tank if it’ll grow weed it’ll grow frags [emoji23] 80 jr bacon cheeseburgers for it. Or 80 dollar bills, 80 stripper tickets, however you wanna do it it’ll need to equal 80 US dollars

Pending pickup tomorrow I will update if sold or not!

60 bucks is worth a hoard pile lol! If it doesn’t sell I’ll do the same and just like it in the fish junk box in the garage.

Eh I got a good deal on a new skimmer so let’s go 60 bucks on this bad boy! That’s dirt cheap!

I have my reef octopus skimmer with the otp2000 pump I’d like to sell. This skimmer is a beast. It’s apx 11x8 footprint. It skins very well wet or dry I just needed more space in my sump. Price is 80 bucks that should be extremely fair for a reef octopus! I’m in Oregon city. Not really looking for trades on this unless you have some nice torches.

I’ll be selling my reef octopus soon it’s not silent like all the new ones but it works well! It’ll be 80 bucks by soon like tomorrow or Sunday most likely. I’m in Oregon city

I’ve not seen a water box in person yet but I own a reefer 170 and had a 625xxl in the past. So I’ll give you my personal opinion on the Red Sea setups. They are very easy to plumb but I’ve not been able to get my 170 dialed in so I’ll be changing to a gate valve instead of the one Red Sea sends.
I’ve seen people say the stands suck but I’m very pleased with mine, no rust on the hinges, comes with the sound deadening mat for under the sump which is a nice touch.
The glass is very nice quality and seems are done [language filter] near perfectly.
Honestly my only complaint is the valve they use for overflow is junk. The new sump designs are much nicer too.
Hope it helps and congrats on the soon to be new tank!

I got a TIA1150 if you’re interested.

Bumping this back up! Anyone have a curve 5 or similar and upgrading and need a bigger skimmer I’ll trade ya!

I have a nice 250 watt halide setup which includes a reefbrite controllable ballast, pendant, and a 20k radium bulb. I’d like to trade for some coral

Torch

Octospawn

Nice sized red flowerpot

Something along those lines.

Turns out my neighboor is a reefer. He has a bunch orange anemone. Called them Colorado something....
Anyway I picked one up for $60. He has a bunch more for sale.
 
 
here are what they look like. 
 

Added a new pair of clowns and a jumbo cleaner shrimp (behind the rock of course) I was originally planning on a pair of storm troopers but these caught my eye and were under half the price of the storms. So with my daughter and my obsession with storm troopers she named them storm and trooper lol. She names all the fish and picks most of them for each of my tanks
