Silicone holds up great to cold, and even is pretty resistant to the outdoors, you just have to watch out for temperature swings, as that can weaken the seal and is actually the thing compromising people's outdoor-stored tanks. Found a pretty good comment on reef2reef summing it up: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/storing-a-glass-tank-outside.105088/#post-1171203

I can make use of them, pm sent

I've been messing around with a lot of lighting diy lately, I'll take all if someone hasn't already, pm sent

Pm sent, I can take all

I think I'll take a leap at the dragon bounces. Pmed.

I'll take a birds nest and a digitata. I might be interested in som kenya trees for a kenya tree refugium experiment I've been interested in running.

here ya go, unfortunately some of the zoas in one tank appear less colorful due to lighting+I grow them in high nutrients (makes them more brown than they are in most people's tanks)

I have a few varieties of zoas and palys, let me take some pics when I can (if I can get home before the lights go off, otherwise it'll have to be tomorrow morning). I have extra firework clove polyps as well if those are zoa adjacent enough for you to want some. And completely swerving off, but I have a lot of ultra orange ricordea yumas, some of truly impressive size. Thought I'd mention the cloves and ricordeas if you have any interest, but Ibdo have many variants of designer zoas/palys that I simply don't rememver the name of.

I have two cultures both a mix of rhodobacter spheroides and rhodopsuedomonas palustris. I've had some success with them when I was dosing more regularly, but time will tell. Sps was growing really well and stopped and took a turn a while after I stopped dosing, so I do wonder if there is a correlation. Something that I do with my cultures and also my reef is I supplement B vitamins. Rhodopsuedomonas (and maybe other pnsb) are limited by various B vitamins and it seems to help keep them going. P.s: have been meaning to ask about acquiring some cultures and some macro from you, but haven't had the time. Will shoot you a pm when I do.

I think I'll take it, pm sent

I'm most likely willing to take it, but what are the dimensions? And where is the pickup?

Selling a tank with dimensions: Glass: 60x30x17 With the frame 61x34x19 for ~$300, or willing to consider trades as well It needs resealing, if I had the time I would reseal it and use it, unfortunately I don't.

Likewise, if you decide to part out, I'd be interested in the red goniopora, peach alveopora, and red setosa

Will take the trachy, scoly, meat coral, octospawn, favia, and gatorade zoas.

Thank you for the write up, it was very informative. I wondered how the execution of that would work out and didn't find it reasonable that it would be so slipshod as to be that it's clear for trade as long as it slips into the country. I suppose there just wouldn't be a way to prove that it was acquired legally on an individual's end as well, even if they didn't acquire it themselves illegally. Would still be amazing if captive propagation was established, but the damage the hobby can do to a dwindling species before the aquaculture becomes feasible is way too much to be acceptable, and is better left to labs that will do it, with proper facilities to carry it out.
