  1. Also those who run T5's do you use a dimmer or do you have them at 100% all the time?
  2. Right now im running 2 180w LEDs over my 180 gallon reef and am thinking about adding a 3rd (i have one i have always kept as a backup), in addition to that I am also debating on adding T5's but am unsure if it is needed or would be a good idea. I currently have a little of everything in the tank: LPS, SPS, Zoas, Softies and fish. I am debating on adding 4- 4' T5's but not sure if thats over kill for additional lighting or if thats a good amount.
  3. I always did a piece of krill
  4. If you cant find one and know the specs on the light, you could go to PCH cables in hillsboro, they usually have a power chord for everything
  5. It’s a beautiful peace, got a frag tonight.
  6. Forgot to add I’m in Scappoose so prefer to not drive over an hour away.
  7. Hi All, Im looking to add more SPS, Brains, and Euphyllia to my tank, and wondering what frags people have available and how much they are. Im mostly looking for smaller frags to watch grow out, not really looking for big colonies at the moment. Some things I would really like are: Red Planet Looking for a yellow SPS Interested in most Millepora Any torches doesn't matter what color Frog Spawn Hammers Favia Lobos If its easier to text my number is 503-961-2504.
  8. Is there a way I can be added to the list?
  9. Haha I definitely thought it said coral haha
  10. If it falls through I would love to come get this
  11. Is that a favia in the picture? If so is it still available?
  12. Thanks I’ll test them both like the way you suggested.
  13. Would you do just blues then just whites or do both or what? Right now I have 6 times set in my programming, 0700: B= 0 W= 0 0900: B= 55 W= 5 1000: B= 80 W= 15 1200: B= 100 W= 25 1700: B= 55 W= 5 2000: B= 0 W= 0
  14. So I was curious when you use a par meter on your tank do you test it when the lights are at the highest intensity of your program or through the daily cycle? I’m thinking of renting a par meter to check my tank but am curious as to when to check it.
  15. No I don’t have a controller thought about getting one but just to expensive for me right now.
  16. So the Float valve I have for my top off failed again today flooding my living room and under my tank and filling the sump with another ~35 gallons of fresh water so decision has been made to put a different type of float in the tank and get rid of the pump fed top off.
  17. So currently the way I have my set up is my RODI goes into a 30 gallon container in the garage controlled using a float valve, then lines ran under the house to a 5 gallon bucket under the tank again controlled using a float valve which then uses a ATO to top off the tank. In the last 6 months I have flooded my living room 4 times or so (at least 35 gallons each time) because my ATO malfunctions causing it to pump a lot of fresh water into the sump and overfilling it. Im thinking about removing the 30 gallon and the 5 gallon containers and just putting a float valve in the sump directly to get rid of the ATO. Anyone have any horror stories with a float valve failing and flooding everything?
  18. If you still have him tomorrow I’ll take him
  19. If you still have them later this week (anytime after Tuesday evening I’m free) I’m interested in the fox face, hippo tang, small torch, small hammer and wall frogspawn
  20. Let me know if the Blue tang and fox face dont sell I would love them.
  21. I really hate having to work Sundays, I would love to try and snag a piece of the WD and CAR
  22. I have a 180 gallon mixed reef. I have some sps (montipora, millipora, and I don’t remember what the others are), hammers, torches, frogspawn, a couple acans, zoas, green sinularia. For movement I have 2 maxspect gyre XF250’s 1 set at 40% pulse and the other set at 20% pulses every 2 seconds. Am doing vodka dosing 10mL 2x a day, and have a calcium tractor set up. My lights are 2 reefcorner 180W programmable LED’s. The channels are as follows (time/%) b1: 0700/0, b2: 0900/55, b3: 1000/80, b4: 12/100, b5: 1700/55, b6: 2000/0 w1: 0700/0, w2: 0900/5, w3: 1000/20, w4: 1200/35, w5: 1700/15, w6: 2000/0 n1: 1800/0, n2: 1900/20, n3: 2000/55, n4: 2100/85, n5: 2200/55, n6: 0100/0
  23. I’ve heard mixed on it and figured I would give it a shot, partially because I see people dosing that along with some other stuff and seem to have way better growth then me so just trying something new
  24. Ya that’s one thing I thought about was the refrigeration but both zooplankton by brightwell and the acropower both said they don’t need refrigeration.
