  1. Trying to get their professional name. I know of two people. I can give you one persons number directly. Sorry for the slow response. Their name is Eric brill. I'll get the other individuals name to you. Depending on where you are and what you want one of the two might be better. Eric is a professional contractor that also does custom woodworking and metal work. This is his number: (541) 543-0000 I'll get the others name and hopefully their webpage.
  2. Apparently, I'll be in Portland tomorrow morning. If that would work for you. I"ll PM you.
  3. I'll be passing through PDX, I was just there Saturday, either April 25th or 26th.
  4. I'm not sure if this one is reef safe or not. He seems to go through the sand quite a bit. But things that I have strategically left, like dead coral, he doesn't seem to care about. That might be different with anything live. He has been eating shrimp.
  5. I KNOW! It is like she was feeding it crab steroids.
  6. I inherited a tank from a friend that didn't apparently get approval for her 7 ft long 2 ft x 2 ft tank in her apartment. Go figure. In said tank is the coolest but most bizarre crab. I feel like it's some sort of baby snowshoe hermit hybrid crab. He/she is very pretty. But is MASSIVE for the situation I transferred it to, which is a 55 gaL. I'd like to find it a good home. I know most of you are located in the Portland area so i'm not really going to ask much for him. maybe $5. Or really whatever you'd want to pay for said hermit crab. I'm located in Corvallis and am flexible about meeting up. Research has not prevailed and I have no idea what species it is. I know I am posting this super late but I will be in Portland tomorrow post 11 am-ish. If i need to bring this guy up for one of you lucky devils. Monster Crab: http:// http://
  7. That is just one of those critters that once it is hard to find and even harder to catch. Maybe some weirdly modified fish trap?
  8. The skimmer and sump would be for a 55 gaL. I have ca$$h or trades if anyone wants to swing that way. Thank you!!!!
  9. I know two people (that if they have time in their schedules) who would be good to approach. I should preface that they professionally make custom furniture and aren't cheap. PM me if you want me to put you in contact with them.
  10. I still need to get rid of these if anyone is interested in them. I really want these to find homes and am open to offers. Including the option of shipping them if need be. I primarily want them gone.
  11. Do you need autocad specifically or would a solidworks dwg work?
  12. I am in Corvallis but commute with regularity to Salem.

  14. Found this shoved in back of my "crap" closet.Still has the price sticker for $79.00. I used to have a ASM G1 and for some absurd reason an ASM G3. I thought I sold this with the G1 pump. But here it is. It looks brand new aside from what looks like pipe weld on a portion of the pvc 90° bend. Still comes with box and blank warranty card. Not sure if anyone could use this one one of their units or could get some good use out of it. If $40 It's an ASM, item: G-500 Pump Assembly (ZMQ03), Assy: G-15H Skimmer, with an incoherent MFG date. http:// [/url]">http:// [/url]">http:// 90° bend weld: [/url]">http:// [/url]">http://http://s1158.photobucket.com/user/beasileybub/media/IMG_4344_zps141spi0a.jpg.html'>
  15. Devils hand leather medium ish $5 (OBO) [/url]">http:// Waving hand coral attached to a lobo. Lobo not included. $5 for a good size chunk.

  16. I don't know what it is about soft coral, for those of you who like them, but I've never really appreciated some of the soft corals I inherited with my tank. That being said I'm wanting to find them good homes hence the low price of each. I have had them banished in the shadows of my tank for a little over a year now. No pests that I am aware of. Especially no aiptasia. 3 Kenya medium/small trees on rock with mystery button polyps $5 [/url]">http:// http:// Big phallic weird mushroom. It likes to go between sizes $10 (OBO) [/url]">http:// Dinner plate sized mushroom on rock. Green and tan. $10 (OBO) [/url]">http:// [/url]">http://
  17. I do. I also have all the extras for it that I bought and are brand new from ecotech. I was going to return them. I don't think it needs them. But they are nice to have. They aren't compatible with the new QD so I can't use them. Like the washer, impeller and etc. You could PM me. I might also be in the Portland area later today.
  18. I have a blue favia. As well as a blue, light blue, purple, weird mix one that I have been growing out. I also have a big colony of some favia that's pink and green/blue. It's very well established on a rock so it would be a package deal with the rock.
  19. I was looking for one of the MP40's for the sale price but didn't have much luck. Mine just crapped out at the wrong time. I'm going to be going to a buddies machine shop (in Ashland this weekend)to use their hydraulic press to hopefully not ruin the rotor I have. I already have the bearings I need so if I get my other one fixed then I'll have a pretty new MP40. If you'd be interested in it@higherthinking I also have a bunch of extra components for it.
  20. I did. For a couple of reasons I went with the MP40: I would need a magnetic adapter to accommodate my glass thickness of 3/4", with the dimensions of my tank there is really only one location where the pump would go and I didn't want cords traveling through the water, I don't like the design life cycle for the kind of impellers the unit has-and think it's why their parts are so readily available, in terms of the benefits of laminar flow versus turbulent all that translates to in my mind is low versus high velocities. For my idealized flow mixing is just done with rotational flow, versus irrotational.The whole point of these systems is to have rotational flow and think it is best done with high Reynolds numbers aka Turbulent flow. I was going for overall movement of water and mixing as much water as possible. So I don't think I need the diversity this pump solicits with all the additional moving parts.
  21. Through an unfortunate series of events my old MP40 crapped out. So I freaked out and ordered the new MP40Qd. I got it in the mail yesterday........ and it's pretty nice. Like real nice. It is mega quiet. Little to no vibration. I feel like my aquariums own natural sounds dampen any noise pollution an MP40 would contribute. Unless damaged. It would be more amazing for someone who is into the thrill of getting their aquarium to be as quiet as possible. I personally get little utility from the glory of how quiet it is. It is really quiet though. I would say the flow is about the same. I have 3/4" thick glass, I have a 100 rimless, and I almost feel like the magnetic disk they put in this newer model is stronger than the last. I didn't use the spacer with my old unit, just the little rubber guard, but knew that the assembly would fall off the glass if it wasn't secured with a bunch of cable tie mounts. All wetside components for prior MP40's are not compatible with this unit. So that kind of sucks. I'm still fiddling around with trying to fix a bearing on an old rotor I cannibalized. $350 is a lot of money for me .... so I *might* not keep it and sell it on here if I can fix the old one.
  22. I feel bad for fish when they are in too small of a tank. I think you should heed the warning of those on the forum and stray away from tangs, as pretty as they can be. In the long run they probably wouldn't be as happy. Clams can be pesky. If you still have the skye light that comes with the 38 gal Nuvo I would argue that there isn't enough light to support a healthy clam, at the bottom of the tank. It would have to be straight and center. One of my friends has a NUVO and they might debate that their light is bad. I would argue that the depth of the tanks isn't conducive to having good light penetration with such a low intensity light. So think about it. Clams are expensive and can die super easy. Once they start going it is usually game over.
