CuttleFishandCoral

Oh, and they do have trivia and one of the questions was "are corals carnivorous?" which everyone here would know. But still fun!

I just got back from the Science Pub at the Bagdad Theater. It was sponsored by OMSI and it was a great event. It was all about astroids and the end of the world. Really fun for those wanting to dork out for a few hours. They have them at least once a month. Drink beer and nerd out! Im new in town and this was awesome. (clap)

FYI, the third post attachments arent working for me.

what does FEMTO stand for?

Nice meeting you today. Thanks for the skimmer. Jeff

I like it. Very creative!

Whenever I had problems with chillers in the past that were out of warranty I would take them to a heating and air conditioning place. They were always able to service it or recondition it. Sometimes it was cheaper to get a new chiller if something big went out. Maybe give them a try.

which model controller is it?

I wish I had one. Pretty rare. Good luck on you search.

I would imagine it would be fine for a few days. Anything more then that might be trouble. Is the picture with one 250 watt still running and one PAR38 or just the PAR38? I cant imagine the PAR38 produces more then the halide.

A few years ago I actually tried keeping them, I actually bought them. Couldnt keep them alive. Go figure.

I was there a month ago freakin awesome. I loved the flamboyant cuttlefish.

In my experience they seem to grow slow. The tissue will grow quickly but the skeleton will take a while. They are pretty easy to keep. I would compare the difficulty to Torch or another easier LPS. Nothing exotic color wise, kinda of a light brown. Probably why it isnt more popular. It always seemed werid that the base of the coral is so pretty but the exterior isnt.

I joined a few days ago and people have already been very helpful. Im going to try and make the a meeting as they are usually a good time.

Very cool photos! You have skills!

Thanks for the welcome! And the info on stands. Sounds like a lot great options.

Just wanted to say hello. I just moved to Portland after spending 8 years in Denver. Grew up in Eugene and went to UofO, Go Ducks. Been doing saltwater reef tanks for over 10 years. Was a active member of MASC in colorado and am looking forward to being a part your community. My tank is still on my POD and wont be delivered till july 20th. I have a 50 gallon custom cube reef. I am in the market for a larger tank. Does anybody know of a place that will custom stands? I look forward to meeting you guys and events. thanks, Jeff
