I have a 29 with a cracked side and a 10g sump I would be happy if they were not in my back yard. I am not in your zip but about 15 minutes south in Lents. Right off the 205 and Holgate.

This tough guy has survived 2 crashes and a couple of moves. I am not sure I have the heart to cut him up but I do feel bad that he is running interference between softie island and the nems and zoas.

 Will he just keep growing till he fills up my 40b?

What would you all do with him?  

I would not suggest parallel since all of the weight would be in the middle of one to maybe 2 joists. 

I am a supporting member

2nds on the nero 5 if @coyote passes. 

Are you just needing someone to put the rock and fish in a cooler, drain the tank and disassemble the plumbing or are you needing someone to take over housing and maintaining the tank? 

I could probably help with the former.

They got me at the beginning of COVID too. Try Central Welding, https://www.centralwelding.com/ I think they are ~$16 for a 5 lb.

I am glad someone bought this. It was a great deal but I could not find a place for another 40. I was tempted to get rid of my kitchen table for it!

Happy birthday!

Your concept is sound until you’re heater controller goes south- rare but has happened more times than I’d care to trust

I feel this. I had a heater crack on me. It shorted out and blew the emergency 10a fuse I had on my inkbird. Didn't trip the gfci nor any power strips. I was of course out of town so came home to a tank at 62 degrees. I had thought running 2 heaters (both connected to the inkbird) I was good. Lots of dead SPS said otherwise. 

Where are you located?

I have a small chunk of GSP you can have. I can also probably shave my rock and give you a little kenya tree as well as a green sinularia. 

I am in SE PDX in Lents.

Better catch them before you find them in your sump!

Thanks Holly for the amazing corals and your time yesterday and letting me grab a few more then I reserved. 

The frags look fantastic.

Sold 5 please

I usually pick up a tube at tap plastics but I am in SE Portland. 

interested in the doser and the gyre. I have never used one though. Do I need to get a controller too? Would this be too much for a 40b?

homebrew exhange just got me a 5lbs bottle. Call them up?

Homebrew Exchange are good guys. I thought they only had 5lbs though and usually only a couple on hand?

The Airgas on 82nd in portland filled my 5lb yesterday... though I am not going to back after 12 years. They tacked on a $14 hazmat charge. Brought my 5lb fill to over $40 but my 20lb was only $25 2 weeks ago. 

https://www.centralwelding.com/ said they can fill and I think they said $16 for a 5lb and $26 for a 20lb. They are in PDX but have gas.

Hey all,

I am setting up a mini fridge for a kegerator. I am in need of a temp controller for it. I thought i would see if anyone has an inkbird or similar in PDX before I try out ebay. 

I have a kenya tree, gsp, and green sinularia ready. The leathers are healed and baseball to softball size the GSP is silver dollar size.

I really shouldn't be reading this thread 😍

This is what I was thinking. I have been dreaming about a 200+ for years and swore I would get one when I bought a house. But, the house I bought is only 800 sf. Its no big deal for 1/3rd of my house to be reef tank right?

Do you still need help? 

I have a med/large sinularia I can frag or give you. I don't need any more gsp or xenia. I also have a large Kenya I need to get rid of. 

I actually signed on to make a post about these. 

I am in se pdx in lents if you are interested.

I thought my asterinas were cool, until I had 100’s of them - and then I’d find them like you did and my corals started declining.   
 

apparently there is a wide variety of species.  Some are ignorable, some are voracious. Mine were middle of the road. 
 

 

my view, if you can grab them with tweezers - just remove them.  Better safe than sorry. 

I tried.  I got him off the coral but he slipped through my fingers and I lost him in the rock. 

The harlequin look cool, he would eat my pistol shrimp and hermits though right?

The worst stuff always happens when away, if only the lottery had those odds. 

Right? I thought I was covered with 2 thermometers, but they were both plugged in to the same ink bird. At least I had that on a fuse so it did not trip the pumps too. 

I had a bunch of the white asterina in the past but stopped seeing them a couple of years ago.
