Snappy

Pic taken from fresh made saltwater. Nearly 50% visibility of the water pump at the bottom of the 5 gallon bucket.

Well this months meeting is cancelled. I’m in Salem and you are lake Oswego, so not sure how to meet up. I could maybe make a trip up there when I get bored enough in social isolation. Also have a $25 golden basket gift card I might be willing to part with.

Lamp shade or a 3D printed one?

Nano Cube 29 gallon AI Prime HD alternating 165GPH pump water fan Aquamaxx 1.5 HOB skimmer I use an 11 watt sterilizer spot feed mysis or brine shrimp about 2x per week frag plug is on magnetic frag rack on side of tank. It has 2 full polyps and a half polyp. The half was mostly full, but the skeleton beneath has had a couple pieces fall off, so it’s losing flesh.

Is this an AI Prime light with cover? Looks good

I’ve been using my AI Prime HD on my nano cube for several years now. With the extra time at home it has come to higher priority of notice that the light tends to fill my living room. My daughter is under a year old, so spends most of her time on the floor or in her walker. Most of my living room is able to directly see the light from the side view. Without switching to a different style of light, is there a way to retrofit this one to prevent light from getting into our eyes from the side? I don’t want to void the warranty or safety features of the light. I considered making a veil or skirt to cover the bottom of the light, but figured that would affect the heat transfer and pose a fire risk. Anyone else have this issue and find a workaround? Thanks

Thanks guys. I’ll use my dollar tree super glue for my small frag projects and consider my saltwater safe to keep adding. Is the residue from the salt or the RODI? I don’t really get and film on the plain RODI water, but maybe it has particles that only bind when salt is present? So much to learn. Thanks again

When I make saltwater now I notice some film and particles on the surface of the water. Is this normal or is perhaps my mix off somehow? RODI related maybe? Also, is regular super glue fine for reef use or does it need to be specific for reef? Big cost difference so just wondering if dollar tree super glue will work for holding a few frag plugs or if that’s a toxic hazard. Thanks

Sold it all today. Please close thread. Thanks

Extra pics of Acan colony

Extra pic of Lava Chalice

Orange Acan 20 mouth custom live rock stand $80 Tubipora on magnetic frag disc $25 Pink Lava Chalice $30 Magnetic frag rack with all sides completely overgrown with corals $80 make an offer on anything. Would like gone soon located in Salem Oregon

I would like one of Acan A if still available.

I struggle with this too. Hoping to find an inexpensive route as the Berghia might be a $50-100 fix for my little 29 gallon tank. I’ve had peppermint shrimp, but they seem to always go after the weakest corals and pick them apart. Currently I inject them with boiling water and turkey baste the carcass away as best as possible. It takes time and many rounds to make any real progress.

Cover it’s light source with another rock. Eventually it will move. I’d posted an anemone removal thread a couple years back with similar issue where it was in a deep cave.

Here is actual polyp rock up for grabs. Mushrooms are whatever loose ones aren’t attached to rocks. Usually there are 5 various sized mushrooms accumulated in the middle of the tank where the water flow doesn’t get to it much.

Basically, my tank is overgrown. All the overgrowth is free to anyone wanting some extra mushrooms and polyps in a starter tank. Here are some of the mushroom types. Polyps are a purple center with orange/red neon ring around edge.

Salem Oregon couple baby blue/green mushrooms large 1 or 2 blue/green mushrooms very small rock with about 10 polyps that have red rings if you look through my previous posts you can likely spot some of the mushrooms and or polyps, but for FREE, I’m not wanting to take time for photos.

BOOM, on the calendar 😎

Share the pods? Haha

I’m in for 2 if possible. I’m in Salem but home to make it to the next gathering

How long do those take to grow out? pics of trades? I’ll try and borrow a better camera and take some better pics today when the lighting is proper and corals are fully opened. Chalice is a bit bigger and brighter since then. It’s about palm sized

What kind of clown fish? Looks like you’re in Washington. Come south towards Salem ever?

My aquarium now has no fish and could use a couple clownfish. I’m pretty much out of money but can trade frags. Plenty of hammer coral and a pink chalice are my Most likely to trade. I’m in Salem.
