I'll be in for it. Lost my league last year. Excited for the new season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was a risk when I bought it. The guy sold the tank and stand to me for $50. I knew the end was cracked but hadn't seen the chip in the end of that back panel. Oh well. $50 stand I guess.

So just getting to work on this build. I've been working so much I hadn't put much time into my lady's tank. The free time I did have I worked on the stand for our 60 cube. That said I started this one today. Goal: remove the side broken glass, buff out all scratches to the tank and repraint the stand. As I began cutting out the side panel I saw a chip in the end of the back panel that I hadn't noticed before. Of course as my blade ran down the seam and got to it a crack shot several inches across that back panel. Blah. So much for that. Costs enough to replace one panel but two... My lady was on Craigslist within two minutes looking for new tanks. I remembered that Aaron out in Wilsonville said he had something in his back room on one of my visits. Called out. Sure enough he had a 72x24x24 180g acrylic in his back room. He told me it was very scratched up so he cut me a good deal. Awesome. The lady is extra happy. Tomorrow's project: buff out the new tank and begin it's build.

I have an identical cube I'm setting up right now. Working on the stand. Should be up in a week or so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Holly was an amazing host yesterday. Let me hang out to ogle everything while people came and went (and eat the cookies). I tried to limit my spending since my frag tanks are pretty much full. Took a specific amount of cash even. Then... As soon as I walk in the door there was a sticker saying she takes card. Darn it. Several great pieces brought home including a foot wide bird's nest. Thank you Holly! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those are some beautiful pieces. I'll definitely be by. Will need that address though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think it's just fine. Let them know you aren't ready yet. Most will give you the tour and answer any questions you have. I stop in to the one by my place a couple times a week. Often I don't buy anything. But I know them and they know me now. I know which employees I trust to ask questions. Getting to know the staff there will help you when you are ready. This is such a delicate hobby that you need to know that you can trust and get accurate information from the people you are buying from. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Share the love #1. I like the little digi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol. I was thinking the same about a tank in Salem. We should have done a swap with them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hahahahahaha. ...... I mean, sorry.... Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Free 100g on Craigslist. Someone should grab this. I have enough at the moment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awe. Missed the correction. But I have the same ATO on my main tank. Love it. Someone will do good at that price still. Lists on Amazon for $199. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hahahahaha. That is about the funniest (and truest) thing I've read in a long time. I'll probably still be laughing at it tomorrow. Unless my tank crashes... Then I'll be cuddling my cat and crying while remembering your post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll take the ATO! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll probably give it a shot this weekend. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is your process you recommend for dipping? Times, dose etc. I have yet to go that route with dipping but I'm curious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll be bringing some corals for swap but haven't decided what I'm bringing down yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got held up today but will be there tomorrow to pick things up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was a great idea with the lights off and flashlight. Had the same problem with a damsel. It even bullied my two 7" sailfins. Eventually I pulled rocks until I caught him. Now he lives in the refugium. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. Please let me know. I'll plan on 3:00 Mon.

Taylor I thought you were clearing space? Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
