CuttleFishandCoral

Rated for 700 gallons. Probably more realistic is around 4-500g.

pending! thanks

You are off to a great strat and I look forward to seeing the beast of a system come to life very cool. Also I love the concrete floors =)

Thanks, I do love the concrete floors. Makes mishaps a lot easier to deal with.

It was nice to meet everyone. Hope we can do it again soon. Jeff

Sounds great. Thanks.

Thanks, It has been fun.

I also got a MP40 from ocboat. Nice guy.

I just moved back to Portland after 7 years in Denver. Been here a little less then a month and been getting a few tanks going. My first tank that I brought with me from Denver and is a 50 gallon cube. Big thanks to everybody who has contributed to my builds so far.

Just has live rock in it right now and is still cycling. The rock is Pukani dry rock from Bulk Reef Supply. Totally impressed with it. Nice shapes and sizes. Ordered 50lbs and they sent me 58lbs. This tank is nice and has built in filtration in the rear.

My main display tank is going to be a 48" long, 24" wide, 20" high, 100 gallon tank built by Wanareef. Wanareef did a great job building it and was great to deal with. Could not be happier. Should have it running any day.

I will also have a frag tank connected to the display. It will be 60" long, 30" wide, 16" high. It is being built by Wanareef as well. Should be built in a few weeks.

My Sump is 50" long, 24.5 wide, 16.5" high. It is a beast and will go under the frag tank. I pick it up from reefnjunkie and was built by Wanareef. reefnjunkie was great to deal with and a super nice guy. Cant wait to get some livestock from him. The sump has a lot of bells and whistles.

My stands are being built by pnkrcklives and hopefully are ready soon. Taylor has been great to deal with so far. They will be painted gray steel to match my floors and wall. I am going for a industrial modern look.

Got my Protein Skimmer from jeffisme and is a reef octopus xp-1000sss cone. Hopefully jeffisme sets up another tank someday. Sounded like he had some rough luck. It is probably a little small but will get me started.

Lighting is still to be determined. I have a two ecoray 60d LED fixtures that I will probably use for the sump. I am waiting on ZachS to finish selling his livestock so I can pick up his radion from him. I will probably use on the 50 gallon. The other tanks are still up in the air. Any ideas? Maybe the new Vega's, radions, or the new razors also look nice.

That about where Im at. All advise along the way is very appreciated. Thanks, Jeff

AQUA EURO USA chiller. Used for 3 months last summer. Works great. Great condition. I ran it on a 50 gallon tank and it worked great.

Looking for frags, MP10, MP40, dosing pumps, LED lights. I will also sell it but would rather trade. Thanks, Jeff

I am planning on coming! Should be fun.

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!
