I have a 100 gallon bag of Kent Reef Salt left, unopened. I changed the reef salt I am using, so I am left with this. $20 takes the whole bag. Location: Salem, OR.

Want to buy an Aussie Gold Torch, who has one? Include pics

I left my deposit @ CNC and Jeff refunded me the $50. I had issues with PayPal

@Higher ThinkingI returned the par meter to CNC.

Anyone got some they can spare. My tang loves it and I would like to get some for the tang and also to add to my refugium. I live in Salem, OR but would not mind to make a drive for you folks in Portland or Eugene or surrounding areas.

Does anyone have Chaeto? I live in the Salem, OR area. I am in Portland right now and would like to see if anyone has any they can spare @ the moment.

How about within the next hour? 2pm or 2:30? Whichever is more convenient for you guys.

I will be picking up the par meter today.

Anyone got some they can spare? Preferably clean with no aphasia or bristleworms. I live in Salem, OR

Are the filters socks still available?

I’ll take it

Location??

I am looking for a skimmer and sump. My tank is a 60 gallon cube and the inner compartment of the stand is 24"x24"x26", so I would need equipment that do not exceed these dimensions. Shoot me a message with what you got and price.

This information was extremely helpful and insightful, thanks so much. Here are some answers to you questions. 1. I am currently on the wait-list to use the par meter, so once I get this, I should be able to understand the various par levels within my tank. 2. You are right on this, I intend to get either the Hanna or Salifer phosphate kit. Which do you recommend? 3. No outbreaks yet, I have noticed a couple spots on the rock work with Cyano and a bit of spots on the sand bed with Dinos. I attribute this to overfeeding the corals and the fish. I have reduced the feeding of the fish to smaller quantities once per day and target feed the corals once per week. 4. I have a 60 gallon tank w/ 10 gallon sump. I do a 10 gallon water change once a week. I do not test alkalinity of the new water going into the tank and I would need to. Good call on this. 5. I plan to check Alkalinity and Calcium everyday or every other day to make sure levels stay consistent and manually dose both if needed. I would like to go fully automatic with the dosing and keeping track of these parameters, but the equipment will be expensive. Eventually, I will save up some cash to set up an monitoring and dosing system. 6. Yes, I test and keep track of my parameters at least twice per week. I know that I will probably need to do more frequent testing if I plan to keep SPS corals. You are very right in saying that there are a lot of misinformation on google on how to keep SPS corals, which is why I decided to ask her first. Not only for the sake of the corals but also not to be throwing money away.

It is good to know that I am not the only one going through this. I think high alkalinity is bad if a person doesn't understand the relationship between coral tissue and skeletal growth. This requires a good understanding of the principal of high alkalinity and maintaining relatively high nutrients. Like you said, if these things are not understood completely, it is better to stick with alkalinity at or near natural seawater. My tank has been up for 4 months, which I know is relatively new. I recently started to see coraline algea spots on the rock-work which could signify my tank is getting that much closer to maturing. My other coral so far are doing great. I mostly have a lot of LPS, montiporas, favias, and anemones. I just hope I did not jump the gun to soon into the SPS scene. Thanks for the insight by the way. Keep me updated on how you do. How does your set-up look like?

Hey Everyone, so I am looking to purchase a couple of SPS corals. These will just be a few frags to test waters. Anyways, I would like to get some feedback from the more experience reefers on this topic. I would like to understand the parameter requirements (alkalinity, nutrients, trace elements, etc) and what has worked best for you. Please include your tank parameters, equipment you use to maintain constant parameters, what you are dosing to maintain these parameters, type of growth you are experiencing with your parameters, etc. Basically, give me the whole story. The other items lighting par and water flow I have done some research already, so I am all set there. Here are my parameters if it helps. kH 7.7 Calcium 480 Phosphate 0 pH 8.0 Nitrate between 0-5 ppm Water Temp 81 F summers/79 F winters. Salinity 1.025

I’ll probably just order them on BRS or have the LFS order it for me.

I ended up driving to Wilsonville to pick one up @ All Things Aquarium. Thanks anyways

Anyone got some available and willing to see it to me? My LFS is out. I live in Salem Oregon.

Can I get added to this list?

Location?

Whats your price? And how many heads you got?

Anyone got one available? Namd your price

Hahaha how about 100 large plantain leaves. I dont have to explain for what lol. Where did you get it?
