Thanks for the tips, I'm just afraid of bleaching my SPS because I have a feeling my levels are high[emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome back Joel! LEDs have exploded lately, and they are pretty affordable also. A good one to look up are the Ocean Revives. They are a local company and they make a solid light for a good price! I have 5 of them spread over two tanks and I love them! I've also heard that they are coming out with a new light soon also that allows even more controllability! Are you hoping to put the new tank in your class room or have it at home? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Merry Christmas to you also!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been battling some algae for a while now and I can't seem to beat it. I've cut feeding to a bare minimum, but that hasn't seemed to help. I'm thinking of adding GFO to the system to see if that helps me get the edge on it until my macro algae starts to get a footing. Would you guys recommend using GFO? I've heard a lot of good and bad things about it? I just don't wan to stress my acros out. It's a mixed reef so I've got all kinds of corals, SPS LPS and Softies. Corals all look great, I just hate the algae look..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i want the nightmares when they are ready! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

also ready that article! Along with other studies that corals transport better just wrapped in a wet paper town. It's just not the norm so people don't do it. Very interesting stuff though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's got two babies also....I would have bought more but it was hard enough to convince the guy to sell me these[emoji23] they were his grow out ones lol! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sadly we drove, it was about a 12 hour drive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought a rock of zoas and an utter chaos frag while visiting family in San Jose, California for the weekend and hauled them all the way home! It was 29 hours from the time the fish store bagged the coral until I had them acclimated and in my tank. No air stones, no heaters(just warm water bottle). It is simply amazing how they can go so long in a bag. I know they get shipped all over the world and are fine but it was something else to see the whole process from point A to B. Anyways just wanted to share for those people who are like me and worry about the 2 hour car ride from "local" fish stores lol! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very impressive! Sounds very thought out. Now to the important stuff.... Where are the pictures!?!? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree with this, my first thought was something being released out of the sand bed also. What are your parameters at? That can help us figure it out also to see if somethings off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like it also! A very sleek look with lots of room for corals!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I may have to make a trip up there then! Trying to create a mini colony in my tank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well scratch off the utter chaos zoas also. They are going to be making a 700 mile trip home tomorrow[emoji16] found some while visiting family in the Bay Area! fingers crossed they do alright lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If my some miracle you still have this tomorrow, I'll take it. ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[language filter], I could get it tomorrow but not today. Looks very nice! Gonna make a good tank for someone! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

List has been updated, getting all the montis on Tuesday Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think they are open on Saturdays from 10-2 for retail. Not 100% sure tho. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Correct, this is my shopping list ha I know I can always count on you guys to have them Softy, it's just so darn far up to your place lol! I am also hoping to just do some trading with people. But....if nobody is interested or has what I want closer to me, I'll probably make the trip up to you guys! Been looking for some of these guys for a while:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm looking to get some new zoas and SPS! I'm looking for frags or colonies, let me know what you've got! I've got lots to trade if you would like, or cash Zoas Fruit loops Purple death Mauls Rastas Goblins fire Electric umpa loompas SPS Cali tort Oregon tort Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice so far! I like the idea of combining everything into one greenhouse. Are you planing to use just natural sunlight for the corals or are you going to hang fixtures up? I am also in the corvallis area, I'm an undergraduate business student! So if you ever need help with the aquarium stuff let me know! Set up a few tanks and could help with setting yours up. You also have Robert in the area who is just wealth of information! Good luck with you build and keep us updated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sweet, thanks for your input GB! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

last I checked they are selling their S026 unit (no internal timer) for $129! It was on sale for Christmas time I think. I run three above my 180 and two above the frag tank, they are awesome lights and a great price! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So far my little Guy seems to be liking my system, he's got great polyp extension and hasn't died yet haha his top polyps seem to almost be an orange color, has anyone else noticed this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
