I decided I would start a thread going from the birth of a downgraded tank that is turning out awesome.

Decided, to save space in our apartment, we would sell off the 40gal breeder with sump and stand and get a more desktop 20gal AIO. Went with the Nuvo 20gal and as of right now only filtration is carbon and the filter socks. The light is a captive reef series LED light. Going from a DIY led build this is sweet. Made a light rail from some shelving parts at Home Depot and it looks pro enough.

Took all of my zoa plugs clown pair sand sifter and cromis and they look perfect. Also took what I wanted from my old LR. Super excited about this build!

I plan on taking some better photos tonight.

500 for everything

I plan to post things for sale as they become available as I'm transferring some of my rock and all my corals and fish to another tank (going smaller tank)

so far I have a few pieces of rock covered in chaeto that I'll do 15$ for all of it. I trimmed it back last week it made a sponge in my refugium.

If people want to follow along here is a list of things that'll be ready soon!

Drilled 40gal Breeder w/baffles

Basic homemade stand

DIY 20galL sump

2 Two little fishies 550 reactors

EcoPlus 172

EcoPlus 528

Filter socks

Rock of Xenia

DIY LED unit built from Rapid LEDS custom controller for sunrise sunset (stand for that is drilled onto tank stand.)

All is in great condition. I will include the baffles and bulkheads. I'm throwing away all the tubing.

I'll include more pictures as I clean it but everything will be as spotless as possible.

I'm thinking 600 OBO for everything. But will piece it out if I don't find a good offer.

Have a rock piece that has two different kinds of nice contrasting zoas. Forgive me for the low quality photo but the are colored up rather nicely and are growing nicely. Each mini colony has about 10 polyps. Looking to trade for other zoas or yumas. Or 30$

Ended up doing a total water change of 13ish gallons with sucking all that sand and detris out of the sump. Corals are already looking happier and I have a nice garden of zoas growing!

Decided to revamp the refugium and trimmed the chaeto back and sucked out most of the sand. Tank needed some TLC so I did a ten gal water change and got some new zoas and a trio of Cromis thanks to Premium Aquariums in Wilsonville. After going on vacation the tank got too dirty for its own good and my frogspawn didn't seem to make it I have them on the sand bed to hopefully recoup reccomendations??

Hard to see but there is life there

Looking to grab around 4-5 peppermint shrimp. If you got them let me know what price you're thinking. Thanks!

THanks, I'm facing a little of an apestia problem but this article helped a lot 

http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index.php/blog/2010/02/01/35-various-ways-of-eradicating-aiptasia

I had success with peppermint shrimp before so might go buy a few to nip it in the butt.  Im having pretty awesome growth from my Zoas but very little luck with SPS.  I need to get a new testing kit but what are the most important things to keep track of specifically for SPS?  calcium? phosphates?  

I need to get some pictures up, hopefully ill do that today!  Tank is looking good.  I need to get another testing kit as i have just run out of mine.  I realized this after i noticed some of my LPS not expanding as much.  Ive upped my frequency of water changes to every week and changed out my carbon and GFO, so hopefully that helps.

 Looking into Low light reefs.  Anyone ever done this?  I imagine it will slow growth down and fade color possibly but I'm not comfortable going non-photosynthetic corals yet so I'm just curious.  

Try cutting the lights back or go lights out for a couple days.  This helped me along with doing a 25% water change right once i had the lights back on.  Good luck! 

Also this article is pretty helpful.

Ya I definitely agree, it's interesting how they almost look identical but the price points are totally different. Luckily I pick this guy up at the LFS for $10. And it already had 15ish polyps on it and has probably grown 10 since then (3 months). That probably means watermelons.

We are located in Hillsboro on Cornelius Pass Rd. We are just hoarders!!

Awesome any store front or out of a house? Idea on general pricing/inventory thanks for replying!

Ya there isn't a huge sole toon of zoas here could be the market. I PM'ed him so hopefully I'll hear back soon

It's not a LFS but they have more variety of zoas then in a fish store. They are in Hillsboro area. Like Miles kindly pointed out their names are

Mr.Bret and Softy on the forum.

Hah gotcha I was very confused obviously

If you like zoas you should go see Bret and Softy's place and they give pretty good deals too!

Where is that? Or what? A LFS?

As the title suggest looking for frags in the Beaverton area. Mostly zoas/softies Duncan's shrooms yumas

Have some extra cash so might as well spend it please attach pics and price if ya would so kindly

Thanks

Do these guys move around a lot or stick to where you put them?

Nice new tank! As far as zoas "in demand" usually comes with a price tag. Everyone always wants candy apple reds, utter chaos, Rastas, etc to name a few. I'd try and get with some fellow members to get your collection started

 

Also a tip, I never noticed a difference with just 1 peppermint shrimp but when I hit about 5 all the aptaisa would disappear quickly.

Thanks for the peppermint tip!

Ya I just got some gorilla nips and gobstoppers zoas and once I see some more good growth I'll start searching for some more exotic ones.

What all do you have left? Color/price wise. Looks beautiful
