Just make sure to get your security review paperwork in so you can be properly vetted before the frags show up!! Forms available for download here: https://tinyurl.com/y8hbfqew

the thing i dont like about the marineland tanks is the corner overflow things. i measured my space where i would put it today and the tank is 1.25" too long. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

yes but if you took it apart and reglued with commercial silicone i think it would be pretty bomber. if i wasnt building a shop right now i would buy it. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/for/d/300-dd-aquarium-stand-and/6730035057.html needs to be rebuilt but you could probably get it for $200 Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

i have a pair of electronic 250 ballasts that i never used. will produce a very nice color with 20k radium bulbs. make sure you get a single ended fixture, they dont make radiums in double ended. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

It doesnt kill bug eggs, i guess that is my point. Many many of us ended up with AEFW through trust and dipping alone. yes, 45 days is not the absolute end all be all of ich but there has only been ONE single study of the long term theront? stage and that was in cooler water. all of my other frags go 76. i just want this one basting in halides sooner rather than later. cheers Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Bayer dip is not quarantine.. but to answer the question, I doubt they have bugs but I would still dip them. I am going to do a 45 day QT of mine (for ich). Your welcome to throw yours in my qt as well I just assume no responsibility for anything.

ohhh no no. you started a formal list and a poll, its all you now. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I like Manny's suggestion. Given the extremely valuable nature of the prizes and regional esteem that the tittle of "Mr. Acropora Growout 2018/2019" would bring, we should not take this lightly!! Lets try and remember this is not some friendly club level competition, and a way to get a sweet frag. With this in mind: I suggest the following: 1. Frag selection will be completed by a committee comprised of all grow out contestants. All contestants must be present at the time of selection, selection will only be approved through a unanimous vote of all contestants. 2. Bar codes for each frag will be generated and assigned when frags are chosen. 3. Monthly transport of frags to secure facility for analytical measurement of mass. The club will be spending prize funds on the purchase of the following scale: https://www.hogentogler.com/veritas/m124a-analytical-balance.asp?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvafmz8qk3gIVicpkCh0c6A_KEAQYAiABEgJNI_D_BwE 4. Chain of custody forms will be required for transport to and from the facility. Completed forms will be kept at cuttlefish and a secure off-site facility. 5. For the final month, all frags will be weighed, measured by multi point lasers, and final color will be determined by a spectrophometer. Ideal coloration parameters will be determined by unanimous decision by the group. 6. once a winner is chosen, the frag in question will be subject to gas chromatograph analysis to determine the presence or absence of growth altering hormones banned by the European Union. 7. The final winner receive a low grade stainless frag kit and one package of reef frenzy in addition to a framed picture of the winning frag that was destroyed during chromatography testing.

I thought you were not trying to complicate things? but yeah, #1

I am going to mount mine in my tank, I suspect many others will as well. This would make it hard to remove and measure. and everyone has a ruler. If you get this colony to grow like a green slimmer then everyone will just agree you win anyways. next up.. green star poly grow out!!! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

14 people total right now. lewisriver, I can grab your frag for you if you are out of town. I am excited! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

thanks Jeremy! if you want to coordinate funds that would be great. 6 months was generally agreed upon for time frame. measurement with a ruler will be deciding factor for proving a winner. it could be brown but big and you would be crowned victorious. post a picture with ruler. then once a month or once every month updates would be cool. if new branches form then measure those as well and just add them up.

couldn't you put them on the same shaft? I know some of those dual pumps just stack heads... but the heads are EXPENSIVE plus the flow rate has to be pretty massive. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

what if we both won!! we could have two castles next to each other with a tank connecting them. oh well, it was kind of long odds... like 10-1 or something Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

for all of you who were excited about my 7,500 gallon sps and tang tank I have bad news. I didn't win the 1.6 billion dollar mega millions jack pot. I bought 5 tickets, I had one matching number. :( Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I had two of my tangs come down with this after my QT "went black" with carbon dust... like literally black. They are healing up though, I have been feeding nori, selcon soaked food (although most fish avoid the selcon smell), dosing vitamin C, kent marine zoecon, and also beta glucan. beta glucan is awesome stuff and I think everyone should be treating new fish with it. It is strange to me that things with questionable efficacy hold on on the hobby (garlic) and stuff that has been peer reviewed and shown to have great results is unknown. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

if people are open to it I could put them in my QT first to let them heal. I know mine isnt going into my DT for at least 45 days... huge shout out to cuttlefish for helping to get this going. I think jeff should join the comp!! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

that is dope!! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

where are the choices listed?? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
