No, currently I use a calcium buffer two part system (B-Ionic) along with Coralvite, AcroPower (for aminos)

and iodine. I also do weekly water changes (about 30/40 gallons in my 200 gallon tank). My skimmer is not

not to snuff on this system and I am looking at a larger more effective unit. Does any of this help to

explain the sponge growth

??

Are sponges OK to be in the tank? I have a lot of small ones growing on the rock in my tank.

They seem to not be decreasing but instead possibly growing. I am just not sure if this is good

or bad.

Thanks for advice!

Outstanding! Welcome to some major life changes. Sometimes hard but always worthwhile!

Bret,

Thanks for the great zoa's and all of the education. I really enjoyed getting to know you.

The zoa's are all doing great in my tank. I added the additives you suggested and hope that it

helps color up those that were a bit muted in color. You have the largest collection of zoa's

I have ever seen and lots of beautiful ones to choose from on the frags. Thanks again for your

hospitality.

How can I get a hold of you?  I would like to look at what you have.

Thanks

Are you considering getting rid of any of the corals in the tank or livestock?

I saw one on Craigslist up North (toward Seattle). It looked pretty good in terms of price and looked like

a solid tank. Check and see if it is still up

I would look on Craigslist up in that area. I always see lots of nice coral frags for sale up North.

I stopped in at Cuttles and Corals this morning when they opened at 10:00. It was really busy but I still came out with some nice stuff including a large blue Maxima clam that was only $75. I also got some of the flame torch he had on special. It was a zoo in there and hard to get help as they were so busy. I really enjoy going into that shop and the owner is a great guy who is always helpful to a new guy in the hobby.

I am a UO graduate and always look to Oregon to win. Lately my motivation has changed since my oldest daughter moved to Alabama where they speak nothing except Roll Tide. Her new husband and extended family are all over Alabama. I love to send them UO wear and such that fit my granddaughter. I would love to see Oregon and Alabama finally get to play a championship game. I have no idea if Oregon could hang, but it would be a great game to watch and could it ever create some great smack talk! It always seems to me that Alabama has a light schedule. When you see them play they look pretty strong however. I hope this year this game comes to fruition!

Nice picture. I got my vote in - good luck!

Sadly,.... no not just diodes. The entire unit went into the water the day it first arrived. It was sitting on the side of the tank to see how great the LED's looked and my wife reached up to put some corals in place and knocked it in. It lights up on just the channel three moon lights (3 blue) but does not seems to pick up any other signals from the programming unit. Obviously not covered on the warranty

I am wondering if any of you have a contact name or number for a person in the Portland/Vancouver area that does LED repairs? I have a couple of inexpensive

Chinese LED lights that need some work done on them. I appreciate your help!

Jose, I would love to be a part. Thanks, Steve

I would be interested in looking at what you have. I live in Vancouver and have some time this evening. Please PM me with your phone number or how I could reach you.

The Oceanic Biocube is no longer available. The 75 gallon tank for trade is available still. Thanks, Steve

Not sure what happened there. This is the first time I have tried to post and I put them in as an attachment?? Any idea what I might of done differently?

I have two tanks I would like to get rid of. The first is a 75 gallon show tank - 48X13X27.5. It has a Red Sea protein skimmer (hang on style) with a couple of power heads and a Rena Filstar XP (running charcoal). It has a 48" light with white and acintic as well as a heater. $130. Really I would love to trade this for some nice corals for my new 200 gallon tank or possibly a large protein skimmer?

The second is an Oceanic 29 biocube. It is in good shape but needs a new acintic bulb. There is a crack on the top lid (not too bad). I need to get cash for this and have priced it low at $100. I am in the HazelDell area of Vancouver. Give me a call if interested in either - 360-921-5421 Steve

Thanks for the anemones Matt,.... they are all open and looking happy. The two clown fish have already been fighting over who gets the 'best one'. After just one day each clown has selected an anemone at opposite ends of the tank. I really appreciate the sale and they have added color to my tank! The new LED lights are supposed to arrive tomorrow. Can't wait to see how they change things in the tank.

Jadams,

Would you be interested in trading for a large (4") damsel who is fat and healthy? He has a black body with some fluorescent blue stripes and a yellow spot just ahead of his dorsal fin. He has been chasing some of my smaller fish and stressing them out. He eats like a horse when given the opportunity.

I am in HazelDell area of Vancouver if you have interest.

Steve

Matt,

How can I get a hold of you?

Steve

Lysa,

How can I get a hold of you? I just moved to a 200 gallon tank and it looks really empty after my previous 75 gallon. I am in Vancouver. I would love to talk to you about your corals.

Thanks,

Steve
