Okay, my submission for approval into the high end category. Super well grown out Miyagi Tort.

Harvest #24 complete continued nice and dark/thick/rich grow outs @John Vinson - Care to start a thread documenting your setup and harvests?

Successful Pickup day 1 for my place. Thanks for the pickups everyone. Done: @Brittany @Yourmedic @Gumby @mpfinnigan @Leonardomanzano

I handed out rulers with each frag from my place this weekend. Hunt down a ruler, try and add it to your picture. I'll make judging easier.

Correct address.

Brittany - Gotcha written down for Sat Noon. See you then.

IMPORTANT UPDATE #2... Modifying Pickup Hours So far, pickups are clustering to Saturday, and an early morning Sunday. So I'm modifying Pickup Hours to match RSVP's already received Friday Nov 18th : 6-8pm <-- CANCELLING Saturday Nov 19th : Noon-3pm Sunday Nov 20th : 4-6pm <-- MODIFYING Sunday Nov 20th : 9-9:30am, 8-9pm <-- NEW SUNDAY HOURS I've heard from 5 people picking up from my place this weekend, and confirmed Payment received. @Kerbash @Yourmedic @Lexinverts (& @badxgillen) @Gumby These people signed up, but have not paid and have not arranged pickup time. (unless @reefrun updates me) @AquaKey @503reefdroid @svt_guido @reefbandit @Leonardomanzano @radom808 @OregonGrownReef @Brittany @Bicyclebill - you've paid, just need to arrange pickup

This man grows SPS like crazy. I picked up one of his frag packs earlier, and they're all going strong.

@reefrun is still recovering, so a little slow. I'll reach out on the side for you.

I'm not an expert of what you can and can't blend for additives.

My system is all Apex automation based. ATO is DOS driven, Fixed maximum amount per day, with Optical level sensor for "Stop Now" Temp is Apex controlled, with overheat protection from local thermostat set a few degrees higher than Apex setpoint Trident for testing, and turns off my calcium reactor when Alk > 9.0 Dedicated pH probe in the calcium reactor, which Apex turns off CO2 supply when pH is below target acidity Cameras to monitor are anything you want, because there's Zero connectivity of any value with Neptune/Apex

You could think of it like a field trip. Visit a shop or two in Portland (we have some excellent ones), go to the holiday parts, win prizes in the raffle (no guarantees), participate in the blind frag swap... Hey, I haven't seen the blind frag swap announced. @AquaKey - Are you going to add a blind frag swap announcement to the December/Xmas party meeting announcement?

Not you! You always win all the raffle prizes. 😞

@Eatfrenchfries & @edsimmons - If both of you come to the holiday party on Dec 11th, you could swap the cutting then. (Shameless plug for the holiday party!)

Neptune took soo much crap for announcing Trident, and then taking a few years to release. They are now gun shy about announcing a rev 2.0. But I'm hoping too!

Thanks for the heads up. I've got family activities going on this weekend, planned around these windows. Friday Nov 18th : 6-8pm Saturday Nov 19th : Noon-3pm Sunday Nov 20th : 4-6pm If you need to pick up earlier than Noon on Saturday, PM me and let's sync.

I love daily testing of the Big3. Game changer for me. I dearly want the same for NO3 & PO4. I can't do even 15minutes 3 times a week, Every week. (I've done daily for 30days straight. But couldn't maintain that forever)

Care to post your list? I'm an Apex user, but interested in learning.

@Parzifal @AquaKey @503reefdroid @islandVib3s @svt_guido @Kerbash @reefbandit@Leonardomanzano @Emerald525 @J-Dog @jtichenor @Yourmedic @radom808 @OregonGrownReef @Bicyclebill @obrien.david.j @Brittany @Lexinverts @badxgillen @SeymoreGulls@Gumby IMPORTANT UPDATE... Frags are at @reefrun's house. We're not going to xfer the whole batch to my house for this weekend, and then xfer back to reefrun's house for next weekend. YOU NEED TO NOTIFY ME YOU WANT TO PICK UP FROM ME... By End of Thursday please (so your frag can be xfered to my house) I've heard from @Lexinverts (picking up 2frags) Reach out everyone. This is the weekend to pickup.

I'll be there!

Thanks to Harley @PNWCustom You'll have your choice of PopUp stand colors when you pickup your frag from my house this weekend.

Announcing Pickup Weekend #2 - at my house. I will have PopUp stands and free plastic Rulers for photos. 2885 NW Bauer Woods Dr, Portland OR, 97229 ( west side of town, north of Hwy 26 off Cedar Hills blvd exit - east of Bethany area) Friday Nov 18th : 6-8pm Saturday Nov 19th : Noon-3pm Sunday Nov 20th : 4-6pm Please PM me to confirm date/time of your pickup. Also confirm @reefrun has received your payment before pickup.

Thanks for posting the pict. I see what you mean. The inside overflow is a challenge for me. Can you take two measurements? From inside the tank, what's the distance between; Side to Overflow? Overflow to Front?

shoot me a picture of the tank if you don't mind. I'm specifically looking to see the corner seams. (are the corners glued, or bent?) scratches and cleanliness just dont matter.

I've got two frags of "mint birdsnest" (it's the color, not any official name). $20 if you'd like one. I'm located in 97229, west side of Pdx, Bethany area. PM if interested. Frags (tops down view) Mother Colony
