Hey!

Nice to see a fellow Washingtonian club member, I'm really close by Tacoma, Im in Gig Harbour. I would donate some gunk but I'm dealing with monti eating nudi right now 😞. But when u are ready for corals lmk! I have a couple of softies frags I can donate.

Hey thanks for the offer Kerbash! I'll definitely take you up on that once my tanks are a little further along. Good luck with the nudis, what a pain!

Hey all, so I've been out of the reef game for a couple of years due to health issues with my kid and a subsequent divorce, but I'm officially back!

No 100+ gallon reefs this time but I just got this little guy set up today! I'm also on the lookout for the right cookie jar for a pico reef. 

Hey if anybody in the Tacoma area has any dirty old filter floss or sump gunk to help get me going that would be awesome! 

And when's the next frag swap? I've missed hanging out at those

It's time to part with my 10+ year old reef tank.

112g reef ready acrylic tank (60x18x24")
40g sump
10g auto top off tank

Full of corals, fish, invertebrates, anemones, live rock, chaeto, red mangrove trees ect.

This is a running fish tank and it will come with all of the equipment needed, plus tons of extra stuff I have accumulated over the years.

This reef is truly plug and play, it pretty much takes care of itself. There are some aiptasia in there but they never bothered me.

The stand was custom built with 2x4s and 2x6s, you could park a truck on it. The acrylic tank does have some scratches i'd recommend buffing before setting it back up

The led light is a ReefBreeders V2+ 50. Its the best light i've ever ran. This fixture alone cost me about $800 two years ago.

Must be broken down this weekend (by the 30th). I'd like to sell either the whole setup or just everything wet (rocks, fish, corals, etc).

Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!

$600 takes all

I will help break it down

Note: I have some of the corals that are in the first pictures. And I got rid of the xenia. All remaining corals are in the pictures in the comments

Oh ya, there's also a cleaner shrimp, fire shrimp, and sexy shrimp in there. If you want to buy any livestock individually pm me your offer!

Hey guys, due to some major life changes the tanks have to go. First up is my 10yr old reef. Some of my fish corals and nems have already been sold but there is still a bunch of smaller fish and inverts. Also a bunch of coral, a green bta, yellow and green mini maxi nem, and several rock flower nems. 

Fish-

2 clownfish

Bengaii cardinal

Yellow watchman

Leopard wrasse

Blue chromis

Red choris wrasse

Green dragonette

Inverts-

2 brittle starfish

1 serpent starfish

2 cucumbers

Halloween hermit

Snails

Longspine urchin

Feather duster

Tons of red mangrove trees

Chaeto

Pumps, heaters, fuge light, skimmer, ato, temp controller, ext. It's all in there.

I'm sure I'm missing lots here but anyways, I want 800 firm for the whole setup. I paid about 800 for the reefbreeders v2+ 50 less than a year ago so yeah, my price is firm. 

Oh ya, there are a few aiptasia in there too if that's your thing 

I also have a running 30 something gallon bowfront tank I'll be looking to soon too

2 member tickets towards the generator plz!

If they're just in the overflow I'd probably shut down the return pump for a while and let them dry out. Are you sure they're glass nems? Got a pic?

My next tank is gonna be acrylic. Any tips on cleaning the glass?

I use a mag float with an acrylic safe scrubber pad stuck between the acrylic and the inside magnet. And for the tough stuff the kent plastic scraper is my go too. Of course my kid went s different route and cleaned it with the glass mag float from my sump. That didn't end well

112g 5' acrylic tank. Wish I had a more up to date picture but here goes!

We made it out unscathed up here in Tacoma, wa. No need to break out my large trusty marine deep cycle battery and power inverter this time. 

But yesterday at work I did drive my box truck up to shoreline. The drive went totally fine, but as I was pulling up to the customers house I started sliding sideways and hit their van 😔. What a way to start a job!

Ya looks like aggression to me too. Maybe that damsel in the background? Or another tang?

Congrats guys, we'll be expecting pictures of whatever you buy with your gift cards!

Shellfie! Haaaaa 

I have an app called dad jokes that I like to use on the wife and kids. But my wife says it's lame 🙃

Yep your good to go. And if it makes you feel any better my tank is about 10" longer than the framing in my stand (5" per side) 🤪

Not sure how they would do in my tank. Have only an inch of sand in the front 1/4 of tank. Behind rock is no sand. And not familiar with the starfishes

Neither need sand!

How about a tuxedo urchin and a brittle or serpent starfish!

I've seen this happen when the tang gets too big for it's tank..

Any chance you can just contact the manufacturer? That's how I've always sourced new drivers

A good rinse of that sand would work wonders. Or going bare bottom would be fine too. Assuming you have plenty of live rock in the tank I wouldn't worry about losing the sands bacteria. 

My vote is rinse, rinse,and rinse again then reuse all of the old sand.
