Large purple tang, healthy - $200

The tank itself is about 3 years old. Everything was quarantined following humblefish's protocol prior to addition, and the last addition to the tank was about a year ago.  I'm not sure the best way to price things, but I've been getting a lot of interest in the purple tang, anthias, zoas, and frogspawn. Please feel free to make offers, I hope my pricing is reasonable. Located in North Portland

Purple tang - $200

Clownfish pair - $100

Anthias - $240 for the harem

zoa rocks - $50ea

Frogspawn colony - $100

My life situation has changed over the past year and I no longer have the time or space in my home to give my tank the attention it deserves. I wish it weren't the case, but I need to start getting rid of my system (and hope to set up something a bit smaller in the near future!). To be honest, this whole process feels a bit daunting - just the idea of catching the fish out of my tank to sell them off sounds near impossible, and most of my corals are encrusted onto rocks...Any tips, advice, or help would be very much appreciated!

I assume I'll need to move all my corals first, so I can actually catch the fish...

I can hook you up with a good size chunk!

I can hook you up! I'm not sure I'd call it 'clean', but it's not full of bristleworms or anything like that, no parasite problems in my tank.  You could rinse in RoDi and refridgerate it for a while to kinda clean it if you wanted.

I recalibrated mine and it's seemed fine ever since!

The timing definitely (very probably?) coincides with the latest update I recently applied.

I recalibrated the probe, let's see what happens!

I'm having the same issue - 3 temp probes agree I'm at 78F right now, the apex probe says 79.2 and I keep getting alerts.

Ah, connecting the scrubber intake to the skimmer lid vents...I'll try setting something like that up.

recirculating? Not sure I follow....

I assumed that running my skimmer intake line outside would solve my ph issues, but I still can't keep ph >8.1 unless I ALSO run a CO2 scrubber....and then I have to change the scrubber media out every 3 or 4 days?  This seems excessive, am I doing something wrong?  I'm surprised how quickly the CO2 media is getting depleted while pulling fresh air from outside.

Happy to trade for frags too!

Bump - make me an offer if there's anything you're interested in!

I didn't inventory the pile of powerheads and heaters, let me know if anyone is interested in these small bits

Downsizing a little bit and clearing out the collection of stuff I've built up over the last while! I'm done adding new fish to my system for a while, time to tear down the QT setup.

Just an update - corals are recovering and growing, phosphate is stable around .09 ppm without any gfo

I'm planning to move to a new city in a year or so and I'd like to bring my 120g aquarium with me of course.  I figured I'd ask for thoughts and tips now while I still have plenty of time to plan ahead.

What's the process look like?  Prepare all the plumbing and new space very carefully so everything comes together quickly (no waiting for pvc cement to dry, salt mixed and up to temp, everything measured out and outlined, etc), put all livestock in rubbermaid totes with circulation/heat, drain the tank, breakdown the system, move everything, install the sump and tank in the new place, fill with with water, pray the leak test passes, add the livestock....this process sounds like it would take forever with lots of opportunity for things to go sideways...

I had an ah-hah/face-palm moment when I realized that I've been neglecting my over-complicated refugium.  I removed all the rubble and vacuumed out TONS of detritus.  I'm hoping this constant source of organics breaking down was causing the problems. I'm giving the tank time to run stable for a while to see how things respond, so far I have no further coral losses.

I have one available with a painted back and bottom, glass lid...in north portland?

Quick update - I turned off the nopox, removed the carbon, GFO, and UV around 2 weeks ago, and started lowering the alk. Parameters seem okay (alk still a little high at 8.3 on the hannah, 7.6 on the triton) except Phosphate is 0.43. Do I really over-feed that much, or is there something else going on here?

No apparent change to coral growth.

I need to get this phosphate under control, then I'll do some Oceamo testing.

One more note - it's running ~3gal/day auto water change...

I'll also take a close look at all my equipment - reef octopus pumps, titanium heaters, apex probes, and a JBJ chiller...ICP OES came back pretty clean though high on iron (probably from too much gfo)

Great advice, thanks. I've turned off the nopox, carbon, gfo, and uv. Now it's running socks, chaeto, skimmer, and 2 part, we'll see how things develop.

Thanks for the tip, synbiotic looks interesting. I'll take a closer look when this bucket of tropic marin pro is out.
