I am trying to sell a 75g tank/stand/hood for $100. I am in Oregon City, so it would be easy to come get.

thats too purdy of an eel to get rid of hopefully you find the right tank

Thank you! He has incredible coloring. Apparently the dwarf brazilians are very hard to come by.

He could fine a new home in my tank : ) Lol only been after him for what 2 -3 months now (whistle)

You were my first thought. I was ready to get rid of him but my wife said if he goes the tank goes. She gets upset because I always get rid of the only things she likes.

I could sell you mine...

The 75? Your taking it down? Details? Price?

Don't really need lighting (I have metal halides) would like tank and stand at least. Will consider just the tank if the price is right. Don't really care if it glass or acrylic as long as its in good shape. It's either I buy a bigger tank or ditch my eel. (which was my plan until my wife just lost her mind over that idea) apparently I don't have a say so when it comes to the eel... I was going to hold out for a cube but it's not looking realistic for awhile. 75-100 gallons preferred. 90 is most preferred but I can't be too picky.

Help find egor a new home :-)

As some of you know my new oceanic build wasn't planned. My tru vu hazed and cracked all of a sudden. I had to wedge boards against a wall to.save my house as the tank was letting go. I picked up the tank without planning my filtration system. This tank isnt drilled yet and I had to transfer livestock and rock.

#1? Do I got to a overflow box setup? If so I have never been down that road.

#2 do I let water out and drill bulkheads in back for a "bean animal" setup? Is it on to drill from inside out when partial filled?

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

It's glass right? No way would I ever drill glass with water in it. The weight of the water can cause even more pressure on the walls. Also it's very easy to shatter it while drilling, and glass will end up in the water for sure. I'd find a tank to temp house your fish and livestock, drain the tank, drill it, and then put everything together. If you need help let me know. I live off Telford at the top of the hill. Bean animal is an awesome setup if your worried about noise. If not and overflow box is quick and easy.

I bought pods from reefs2go and was satisfied' date=' i'm sure your stuff will be fine. I think the issue I had was species specific as most other snails survived the journey (but was from a different seller).[/quote']

 

Nice! That's good to hear, was kind of nervous it was from them haha

Where are you ordering from? I tried ordering florida ceriths and none showed up alive...not sure why, maybe avoid those if you were considering.

 

Personally, I don't like putting TONS of CUC like some people do. You only have a 40 gallon...don't go overboard because if you have some mass die off your ammonia levels will likely spike. I'd try a smaller crew to start with, like 10-20 snails and some other misc stars and such.

Reefs2go.com

I'm going to start with 25 nass snails, and a sand star, in addition to what I have already. Also going to get 1000 pods and some macro. I'll let you know if they show up alive.

I'd agree and say no hermits. I hate spending the time to wait for corals to open up after the lights go out, feed ones like brains or plates, then come look after 20 minutes to find hermits digging the food out of their mouths! After I watched this happen a few times I decided to go only snails. Some people on here seem to like fuzzy chiltons (if thats how you spell it). I have tiny ones that are all over but never bought a big one, heard they really go to town too.

 

And don't get a cowrie if you have clams smaller than 2", had one eat one of them (flame)

So if i go no hermits, in a 40 breeder, fed once every other day, what would you go with. 50 more nass snails, a sand star, and..?? More, less?

sounds good to me. Tank will balance it self out have to add some every 2 months more or less' date=' time to add more is when It starts to look dirty[/quote']

 

That's funny because it looked fine for about 2-3 months now it's getting dirty and I'm adding more!

I've had terrible luck with clawed critters eating my coral. Cleaner shrimp have poked at my clam mantles, picked at my pink bird nest and eaten eagle eyes. Scarlet hermits have eaten GSP and blue hornets. Red tip hermits have eaten xenia and trumpet coral.

 

So IME I would not buy the "100 small hermits" and go only with snails.

 

If the sand bed is your problem look into Nassarius snails, they are carnivorous, but live in the sand bed.

Thanks Mitchell I'll def add some of the nassarius snails and more small hermits

I don't have one but i have been considering a Tiger cucumber for my sand bed. I had a diamond goby in the past and he was amazing!!!! The sand was always white but then he jumped. :( The sand dwelling snails are ok but they come out at night and always knock stuff on my sand bed around.

I bought one total waste it just sits under a rock most of the time lol.

IME if you have too many herbivores they will die off. I would get ten turbos and always end up with three and no algae' date=' I would get more and always have the "balance" restored. With hermits it all depends on how much you feed; personally I hate having hermits crawling all over my coral so I always go with as few as possible to still get the job done. Just my opinion [/quote']

 

Yea hermits are not my fav by any means either lol, always knocking stuff over and crawling everywhere. Maybe go with more of the ceriths and half the hermits? My tank is pretty algae free, just my sand bed drives me nuts

M going to place an order with bulk reef for more clean up crew, I have 4 turbos, 2 cerith snails, about 20 small hermits, 2 large hermits. If I order 100 small hermits and like 25 ceriths is that too much? I'm sick of the sand bed looking dirty in a few areas where they don't spend much time.

Not a small amount by any means, paid 50 for it and it's grown tremendously in the matter of months. I'll take 40 for it. Price is firm not interested in bargaining thanks everyone!

Thanks cb's!!! I picked up a tank today and got a great deal on a star fire 156 gallon

Thanks to everybody for leads and help in this situation.

Now to figure out this bean animal overflow for the new tank..

Anyone in Oregon city??? Lol

Nice! I live in oc... But never used a bean animal, I'd just you tube it!

The 90 is cool but I don't have the design space for that. Who's selling the 125?

Re_run his name is chad I'm pretty sure he has one

Saw this the other day. There's a 125 on here and a really cool shallow 90.

 

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/for/3371269675.html

That 90 is awesome... Very tempted

Shoot re_run a pm he has one I believe

daily bump. If anyone is interested in any of it let me know, its getting ditched here pretty soon to SWF for a piece of rock instead, its too big for my 40 breeder and taking up space that could be dedicated to SPS

i need an mp10!!! Just blew a wad of money on my wifes jeep tho, GL on the sale, beautiful tank!

hello everyone, sorry been super busy. i have responded to PMs.

 

Reef Madness, just that specific tank is available, the rest of the system is in use.

 

Thank you!

Mine didnt get answered maybe it got lost in all the others lol

 

Well when you figure out how to be patient let me know .

Same here I've never learned. Haha much easier said than done!

Looks great! Can't wait to see this bad boy in person!

Bump gotta get rid of this stuff way less than what you would pay at any lfs.
