If your "This is a used acrylic envision tank. It is 120l x 32w x 24h" is the original tank, and you've Upgraded to a 36"... I want to come see your tank. I was near Dayton Sunday and am in the wine country regularly.

I had those red mushrooms... Ripped my whole tank down to eventually get rid of them. Beautiful, loved them, and they loved me just a little tooo much. No space to keep anything else.

That's an impressive looking tank. And I like the 32" front to back. Mine is 36" front to back, and the extra distance is nice to work with!

Thanks!

I see an awesome torch collection too!

Spin out the phyto, test the clear water. Am I really looking for Zero? How many days after using "all" the fert, does the phyto culture crash. I add 32oz (1/4gallon) phyto a day to about a 400gallon setup. So whatever I measure in the Phyto water, divide by 1600 - and that's how much fert I'm inadvertently adding to the tank. How do I know the concentration of Poseidon Fert? It's their mix, and their recommendation of 2mlA+2mlB per ~gallon jar (which is really 3L of water - I measure when harvesting). 3L:4ml ? Or, is the math really about amount of starter culture to fert? Poseidon recommends 250ml of culture w/ 2mlA+2mlB fert. 250ml:4ml ? Shouldn't the amount of fert be related to the density of culture desired in the final total volume of water. Assuming a batch grow.

bump. And I forgot to timebound this offer. My plan is to order Monday morning. (in fairness, I only know two other club members who've tried Poseidon Reef Systems setups - so this may be a limited scope offer)

I've always wondered how I test for excess fertilizer. Can you tell me how/give me a procedure? I've got Hana nitrate and phosphate test kits. All my phyto is Nanno, and I'm only doing batch cultures. My idea being Fert getting fully used is the instructions that came with this system were 2ml of A, 2ml of B Fert, for 1gallon grow container - harvest after 7-10days. When I did that, cultures were weak/pale/not as dense. I'm now doing mid cycle kicker of Fert, and harvesting at 15-20days - super dense/dark. I am restarting each gallon with 300ml of the last batch.

Welcome! Tell us about your setup, and how long you've been reefing.

I'm almost out of fertilizer for my phyto grow setup, and going to place an order for more from Poseidon Reef Systems. Anyone need anything and want it added to the order? Small items end of being ~$20 in shipping, I'm ordering enough to trigger free shipping. This is just a friendly offer to let you add to my order, and skip the shipping fees. Conditions, paypal me for the cost ahead of time and come pick it up from my place in Cedar Mill/97229/north of hwy26 at Cedar Hills blvd when it arrives. https://poseidonreefsystems.com/

Harvest #28 complete (Jan28th) Continuing to add mid-grow fertilizer kicker. (2nd dose, after about 1wk) Harvest is back to dark-dark grow of the past Thought you might like to see the setup, ready to harvest. Empty bottles ready to go, towel down to catch all drippings, polypropylene beakers, fertilizer, and most importantly isopropyl alcohol to keep things "sterile." (not really sterile, but to wipe everything down with and keep contamination to a minimum) The harvest results

There's almost always someone out there with extra rock sitting around. Come on crew, who hasn't been to the site in a while because your tank is down ... Pony up a rock offer.

Happy to help and pay it forward. I've learned a lot from others in this hobby, and gotten lots of assistance. Start a thread, and show us how the tank does over time. (Ups and inevitable Downs) Post a picture a month for the next year. On the equipment side, I like the infrastructure side of this hobby too. Many zoos and public aquariums offer behind the scenes tours. Just reach out and ask. And past years, the club has taken a field trip in ~June to the Hatfield Marine Science Center and done tours. Although not arranged yet, I think it's in the plans.

I was in Cottage Grove last weekend. (stop over in the Best Western off i5)

Taken this morning, with 50% intensity of basic white LEDs. Just before giving gorgonians a hair cut.

I'm in the same range. I'm a little over a year on my current resin and it looks better than the intro picture on this thread.

I'm in Cedar Mill, just north of 26&Beaverton. I'm out this weekend, but I've got some hardy clippings to share. Hit me up with a PM and we can connect next week.

Or contact DD Solutions directly. They specifically call out the motor can be ordered as a spare part. https://www.theaquariumsolution.com/ https://www.theaquariumsolution.com/product/3078/409

It's been a LONG time since I upgraded my original 45 gallon tank. Over my time I've kept a 45 -> 90 -> 120 -> 250. Therefore, I may not be the best to answer your question.

I've got a few more things to also sell in the next month.

bump. No one need a big Ca Reactor?

I've gotten enough replies that I should Pause this offer. Let the current requesters get some, and I'll re-assess how much more trimming is needed.

PM'ing The biggest clippings won't make it until mid Feb, just because those are the ones I will want to prune. Maybe what I'll do is do a 2nd pruning just before the meeting, and post what's available for pickup. If you want something earlier, PM me.
