the fungia is available as wellny knicks torch, pardon cyano, its an older photorainbow lobo in photo is available 

Some photos finally. Not sure whats pending and what isnt at this point. Had alot of messages, but nothing concrete. Comment here if youre gonna buy something. Lost most of the sps, the remaining frags are spoken for aside from the high end stuff that was unaffected due to being in a different system that wasmt moved, and maybe PC rainbow and an aquacultured bali shortcake aka pineapple shortcake. Gonna give the remaining sps and the torches atleast a week to recover. The acans, lobo, favia, most of my other lps and softies are ready to go. Ive got some zoas i dont know names of as well. Will update with more coral pictures as well.

Price drop bump. Sorry for no photos yet, been up for the last 38 hours straight working on moving.

Got a few pictures of most everything today. Working on moving currently, will post when ive got a free second

That’s a real shame. Hopefully when you get back on your feet you’ll be able to start it back up in full. I know I’d happily donate a frag or two once you’re doing well again if my reef is still up and running.

That aside, for now I think I’d be interested in the halloween urchin and the rw15. Need to think on if I want or can add any frags now, though I likely will acquiesce and add some after I find some room in my tank for them. I’d love to have some of the snails and the peppermint shrimp if possible too.

Peppermint shrimp is called for, everything else is available. Shoot me a pm

Unfortunately life has decided to kick my teeth in. I decided to open a business a few weeks before all of this covid stuff started. Things were great at first, but once the stimulus checks started to run out business definitely fell face first. Unfortunately to keep a roof over my head I need to sell off my fish, corals, and equipment and step out of the hobby for a bit. Unfortunately i crashed my tank while moving it and lost a bunch of acros, but luckily a friend was hanging onto my favorites. Once I find a new job, and enough extra cash to start another system, I see a large peninsula in my future. Anywho! The post you all came for! Ill start with available fish.

Probably more im forgetting, but you get the idea! If you are looking for something in specific that isnt listed shoot me a message and I may have it in my storage full of aquarium stuff. Will upload pictures tomorrow. Pm with any questions. Thanks!

So on a wild lobo I got a while back i found a small hitch hiker. I left it because it never seemed to cause any issues. About a year later I noticed another one on a rock. I had a temp swing in the nano i had going after i sold my 93 and i killed the small one that was on the rock. My lobo grew out and I wasnt able to see the original anymore so i figured I lost em. Ive been removing my sand bed to prepare for a move so things have been getting looked at a bit closer lately. I found the one on my lobo is still kickin along, growing slowly, and ive been pulling out finger nail sized shells with my sandbed, and small living ones. Last night i I managed to find a complete closed shell of a larger one. Interesting lil creatures.

Well. I debated posting this, but its still alive, so I guess ill stick it out. Still no growth. Color seems to be starting to come out again, seeing more polyp extension so i think its starting to come back. Thanks to some crappy calibration fluid I managed to kill off about 30 acro frags by spiking my salinity to 1.032. Luckily this thing stuck it out.

Thank you, Taylor @Taylorhardy1!  It was great to see you and meet your brother.  I forgot to tell you...the one in the upper left hand corner is a JF Lunar Lepto.  One of the most unique leptos I've seen.  Just wait till you see it under the lights--low to medium.  You'll see what I mean.  : )  

Holly

Sweet!!!! Thanks everyone else for saving the best pack for me😉 

Super excited about this awesome pack. Cant believe I only paid $60 for the tenuis mini colony in itself, let alone the entire awesome 6 pack. Holly, @Gil&Fin it was awesome to see your systems and have you be so accommodating despite everything else going on. I really appreciate it! Cant wait to see everything open under my lights tomorrow!!

My old job had jason fox, wwc, rr, and sbb corals blocked because they had a system setup for any site unrelated to cars only allowed to be accessed so many times. That system had an enormous amount of flaws though. 

Pack 11 please! Will pm shortly.

Definitely in for this one!!!

Like the title says, does anyone have a 4' peninsula, or 3' cube they'd part with? Im moving soon, and when I move I need to build a new stand for my 120 but Ive been tossing the idea of upgrading to a peninsula, or a 150 cube. I dont mind something that needs a little work, but ideally looking for just a tank/stand. The taller the stand the better.

Dodge is the man! I need to get out there and grab some frags from him soon.

Here's my august update. No real notable growth, I've been slowly losing sticks to stn over the last month due to some stability issues I've been tr huh ing to get under control. It's gotten a little pale, hasn't been putting out much pe as of late. Hopefully I'll bounce things back before I lose much more.

Hi gang. I seem to remember a mobile mechanic hanging out on the forum and can’t remember who it was. Three out of my four cars could use some work. If anyone remember who it is I’m all ears.

 

That's me! I'm pretty busy right now, but shoot me a text @ 503-504-1605, and we can discuss what you're needing and I'll get you on the schedule.

Since I started my business I've been tracking where I spend all of my money, and just what I buy from cuttlefish was enough to consider an intervention. 

I mix to 1.026, and have been using the black bucket for a while. I test everything down to n03 and p04 so I can match the numbers to what I want before the water enters my display. I found that typically the black bucket mixes 10.3-10.6. I reduce it down to 9.2 with organic white vinegar before it hits my display so everything can maintain stability. I'm gonna switch to the blue bucket and start supplementing alk, cal, and mag in the water change water. I feel as though itd help a bit more with stability if I could get dead on the numbers I'm looking for. I run a calcium reactor so my main tank stability is relatively easy to maintain as long as I ensure all water going in is near identical levels. All it takes is losing a few corals to water change water that mixed low before you start testing everything.

Mines doing okay in spite of my ongoing algae/bacteria battles. Encrusting a bit, not enough upward growth to justify a picture, BUT its started throwing a couple new little branches.

Is 1 or both of these still available?

I'm going to go ahead and move to@reefrun for the time being. If@jayteab is still interested, please sign up as a supporting member. Reef run, please send refundable deposit to PayPal@pnwmas.org ($50) before picking up Ben's meter from CnC.  

Taylor and TrailerMann, you're getting closer.

I actually already ran a meter through my tank and can be taken off the list.

Is C still available?

ATI Powermodule would also be a good choice. I had a 4 bulb over my 20 but it was a mixed reef. 6  x 24 would be perfect. 

2nd for powermodule! I have a 36" 8b hybrid fixture over my 4' 120g and I've got sps in the corners practically on the sand. Hands down my favorite light fixture of all time.

I cant speak much of ai as the only lights I've used from them were nearly 10 years old. Ecotech radions are unbelievable lights, will pull insane colors out of sps. 

Reefi is definitely a good option worth considering. Havent used any reefis personally but they put out similar/ maybe better spectrum and spread in comparison to ecotech, the fixtures are super sleek and nice looking, and the lights have virtually no light spill. The display at cuttlefish is lit with reefis, and theres some super nice sps in there just on the sandbed.
