Who's coming to this meeting? We need to know how much Halloween Candy and beer to buy. 😃

The bushy colony looks like it could be twilight dragon or something similar.

The pink tip green arco looks like one I have seen from Cornbred.

Gonio under the rack doesn't seem like a good idea...lol.

Erin from ATA WIlsonville sent me some pictures of the some of the corals that he has in the shop and some specials that he will be running during the meeting.

- Aussie Green Tip Torches for $30 per head

- Rasta Torches for $75 per head

- Assorted good deals on Symphyllia and Trachyphyllia and Goniopora frags

Thanks Andy @Lexinvertsfor working so hard to have such awesome well thought out prizes ! Also very generous of you to donate oregon torts . @Eatfrenchfries Thanks for offering to talk and always donating prizes. I always learn something useful .   I’m sorry I’m going to miss it but I hope we get a lot of people who attend. There’s a lot of work and money that goes into planning these events and we are one of the few clubs who does monthly face to face meetings ! @danlu_gt thanks for giving us a deal on the light . If you haven’t seen the 2.0 in person it’s amazing and the color spectrum is gorgeous. It has the perfect balance and nice tones but not overly blue like some LEDs in my opinion. I know there was someone else who donated frags too and I thank you as well. We have a really great group of reefers in the pacific nw and our club is known nationally for that !

@islandVib3s also donated frags. Thanks, Rick!

I just updated the raffle prizes. We have a really nice line-up of prizes for this meeting!

Just wanted to put a feeler out there and see if anyone personally has ran into issues with Red Sea XXL625 model R42312. I have personally purchased a used set up and now curious about it. 
 

Thanks! 

As Rick pointed out the 1st gen models of these tanks have a reputation for leaking. We have no idea what percentage ends up leaking, just that it does happen sometimes. (I own a 1st gen RSR750 and it has been fine for 4 yrs.) When the tanks leak it is because the stand fails and starts to bow in the middle. I would check the stand for bowing and make sure the tank is perfectly level on the stand. Also check the seams for any bubbles in the silicone.

Yes please! 

I should have some Green and some Red Aquacultured Gonis that I can bring to the 10/29 club meeting at All Things Aquariums. Send me a PM if you are interested.

Updated thread with pictures of Oregon Tort, Jackolantern and favia frags! Save the date!

Does anyone know how this treatment may affect anemones? Ordered some the other day trying to figure out if I should remove my Giganteas before treatment 

I would be surprised if it hurt your anemones. People routinely use Cipro on anemones and this stuff is similar to Cipro.

Great prizes!

This is what happened to my Indo "gold" torch under ReeFi Uno 2.0 Pros for 10 months now.  No need for heavy blue or over saturation photos.

 

Oregon Torts also do very well under Uno 2.0 Pros.  Took a few months to get going, then growth is pretty good.

Funny you mention that, as I am going to bring SIX Oregon Tort frags to raffle off at this meeting. As I am also running ReeFi 2.0s, I think it is safe to say that Oregon torts do very well under Reefis!

Just now, Jchavez said:

Looking for some inexpensive sand bed corals. Please shoot me a message with pictures/pricing. 
 

Thank you. 

You need some gonis!

When: Sunday October 29 1:00 to 4:pm

Where: All Things Aquariums

30299 SW Boones Ferry Rd

Wilsonville, OR 97070

We have an amazing line-up of prizes for the raffles: a ReeFi Uno 2.0, a Bubble Magus Filter Roller (medium), 6 Oregon Tort frags, Phyto and copepods, Jason Fox Jack-o-lantern Leptosersis frags, Pink Vampires, and war favia frags!

I signed up when the original post came out but I no longer see my name on the list. Were notifications sent out? I’ve been checking periodically. Do I need to sign up again? 

We're sorry about that. I can lend you my own par meter if you need one sooner. Send me a pm.

I'm pretty sure my membership is up to date.

As a test I changed my username to a number on the form and it cleared the error. 

Thanks for letting me know. I fixed that field on the form. Can you please try again? Sorry for the hassle. The person who set up the original Google form left the club so we have not been able to edit it, so that is why I am re-doing it.

Thanks!

Andy

Thanks, Kim for running this event and to the rest of the board for stepping up. Many thanks to Jeff for hosting!

OK, I'm going to make this my first attended event ever in the hobby. Just did my membership renewal and will be driving up from Roseburg. Looking forward to it! 

Looking forward to seeing you, David!

I'm in!

Too nice to pass this one up! I'm in. PAID.

Are these all gone?

In my experience, both vodka and NoPox dosing take down your nitrate rapidly and don't reduce phosphate very much. If you use either of these to reduce your nitrates, make sure that you also use something, like GFO or Lanthanum chloride, to bring your phosphate down as well. Low nitrate and high phosphate can lead to all sorts of problems.

It's not close to being fragged but this is what I got. 

I think must be the 'Manilla Spy.'  Cool! Where did you get it?

Thanks for the feedback.  Glad to hear you have it, and can check how it's growing out.

Anyone else?

I don't think many people have it. It was never really distributed while Jake was alive. Now ACI aquaculture has it, so it should start to show up at retailers within a year or so.

After reading Michael Paletta's article on ReefBuilders for Managing Tissue Necrosis, I decided to up my dosage from the 7.5ml strength (Eli's recommendation for BJD) to something more inline with Paletta's for Arcobacter. I'm now dosing 500mg / 160 gallons (or 50ml).

It may also be worth noting that I have shut off the carbon reactor, UV, and ozone. I am only running fleece roller, skimmer and algae scrubber for filtration during this treatment. 

Be careful, as Paletta had to fight a dino outbreak after using his high dose.
