  1. Hello everyone,

    I am trying to sell off my system. Had a trip planned and right before the trip had to move to a new place and that resulted in death of a few fish and corals and it was very saddening. So my wife and I have decided to give the reef keeping a break since we will have to move again in a year and don't want to kill other survivors. 

    As for the stuff for sale, it's listed down here:

    1) Pair of ocellaris clownfish (1.5" to 2" long) - $50 for the pair

    2) Melanurus wrasse (very vibrant colors, about 5ish inch long, very active and keeps the bristle worm population in check) - $50

    3) Toadstool coral - $10

    4) Reef Octopus Classic 110INT Protein Skimmer (Less than a year old) - $140

    5) Chinese Black Box LED's (a pair) - $90 for both

    6) Aqueon Pro 200W heater (less than 2 months old)  - $40

    7) Flipper Magnet Cleaner, Standard Size (new, unopened box) - $35

    8.) Flipper Magnet Cleaner, Standard Size (used) - $15

    9) Jebao DC Pump with controller - $40

    10) Hydor Koralia Evo 750/850 Circulation pump (less than a year old) - $20

    11) DIY'd Aquarium Stand (49.5" long x 18.5" deep x 30.5" tall) - $60

    12) Live rock, roughly 30ish lbs - $50

    13) Lettuce Coral that is still recovering and it is quite a big one (the rock also has a lot of sponges under it) - $15

    I have got more stuff that either I will have to check or measure and will post it down here.

    I am attaching a few pictures, if you need pictures of a certain thing, please feel free to message and ask and I will do my best.

  3. Thanks for your interest and patience with my slow replies. Looks like I have a buyer on PMs interested in both pods and mysis now so wont be able to sell the pods alone.
    Sorry for stringing you guys along -- I am just ready to be done taking care of these mysis so was eager to sell them, and sold them to the first who messaged me for both.  
    If you are interested in amphipods I can only repeat my recommendation for aquariumdepot and royalreefs. Buying the 1000 packs on BOGO sales is what has worked well for me, and if you split it between two itd come out pretty cheap. 
    Thanks for letting us know! :D
    It's always good when someone wants to sweep everything at once :)

    And thank you for the information! I will definitely keep my eyes open for the bogo deals.

  4. No idea if they can live together long term, I keep them separately. My refugium also has high flow (I respectfully disagree with the widespread notions that low turnover through the sump is somehow desirable). I guess I have around 500 gph through the refugium. It also has a ton of macro which I'm sure leaves lots of low flow areas. 
    Okay cool! Well I will give it a try, why the hell not? Haha

    I can take them :)

  5. I have a healthy population in my refugium, they do seem to survive well there. 
    Also, I have had some mysid shrimp in there for a while now (no idea where they came from though). So would amphipods and mysid shrimp live together? Plus how fast of a flow should the refugium area have for amphipods? I have a pretty high flow at the moment, which I can change if needed.

  6. I might take the amphipods. But I have a question.
    If I put them in my sump refugium, do you think they might survive? I have a big chunk of live rock in there and a good amount of chaeto.
    Essentially would love to see them maintain their populations down there.

  7. You could do it, but Reef Angel already exists and it is a Arduino-based controller. It is pretty cheap and easier than building one yourself.

    This looks so cool!
    But pretty expensive [emoji17] well cheaper than a lot of other controllers out there for sure haha
    It's very tempting. Lol

    But a DIY would be fun and a learning experience, and a lot cheaper (I think). I will have to see how much it really costs to build one, or asking people who have already worked on one before :)

  8. You also need to get a small pump for the controller to control, but pumps are cheap. I have a some used ones that I could sell you for cheap. I am close by in Corvallis.
    Hey that'd be really cool!
    I will need a pump certainly if I go that route, or if building one using an Arduino.
    I will keep you in mind :)

    But if I decide to go Smart ATO, or Tunze, then I think I won't need one. :)
