Thanks for the support @LadAShark let me know when the nudies are ready, I'll come snag a few from you

They love them... so we'll see how that goes. For now to keep the shrimp safe I've put them in the sump for protection... it's where I dipped my hand as well.

Thank you all for the support! My wife told me it was bound to happen... I hate that statement, we should be trying to annihilate these pests from the hobby. I just never imagined it would be an inside job that introduced them LOL. Peppermint shrimp are in... I'll be keep watch for any "new" nems in the tank. Does anyone know if Valentini puffers have a taste for them?

So I got a beautiful new Derasa clam today... covered in a few pests. Aptaisa, vermited... and some friendly isopods and such. Couple of things about our cleaning regiment: We QT everything regardless of what it is... We clean all livestock as advised... scrub, razor blade, glue whatever needs to be done to get the job done.. etc. I always wear gloves... been stung too many times by bristleworms So what's the problem? After cleaning off the two small aptasia I used the gloves to wipe off the blade, aptasia guts remaining on the glove. So the clam is still acclimating, I decided to go check on the DT... and what do I do I stick the glove with the guts on it into the sump not thinking about what I just did. So the big question is: Did I just contaminate my DT with aptaisa? It's bugging the crap out of me and I'm having a mini meltdown over it... Need some community support, thoughts. I will mention that I preemptively ordered some peppermint shrimp and am thinking of ordering some apt eating nudi's just in case. Thanks all for your support/advice in advance! #stupidreefermistakes #aptasia4free #mindlessreefing

I love the diverse color of your tank! It's looking really good!

Did some say live sale item? Beautiful piece, it's even better in person.

I like the concept, looking forward to seeing this live!!! I did gave a couple questions: Are you all planning on doing a second round of funding? Thoughts on the retail price? HOW DO U GET ONE?!?!? .

Beautiful piece... I keep telling my wife we need to move to Oregon for some better reefing

Momma always said "GO BIG or go home!"... She also expressed concern about my reefing addiction 1x Member ticket - Hanna Alk checker 5x tickets - Nero 5x tickets - MP40 Good luck everyone!!!

Great looking frag packs Holly! I'm moving to Portland!

Finally I'm a supporting member! Thanks @Gumby!

If @Gil&Fin is a beer drinker we'd make a special trip for that (with the beer as well)

Thank you! Done and done

That's Hawaii weather! It was an nice little heat wave while we were down there, though we spent most of our time at Cuttlefish... thank god Jeff has AC 😛

@SuncrestReef Kim PM'd me said I should reach out to you regarding my the membership support issue. Let me know what I'm missing Hey all, Kim posted something on PNWRK FB page regarding becoming a supporting member. I would love to donate to this forum but haven't been able to find where I can do that. I've checked the store on multiple devices and the "Orders" category. I unfortunately have nothing listed in the Store. Thanks! David

YAY! I'm glad I checked the forum out today!!! Sad we missed you on the last visit down to PDX (how was the beach?)

Hi Fellow Reefers! Wondering if anyone greater Seattle area is growing and selling their own copepods? Would love to find local grower, currently ordering for a grower in Ohio, shipping is getting expensive though and I won't order from algae barn. Thanks! Bonus if they are tigriopus!

All the good local reefers are down south 😭 @Gumby If we're ever in the Vancouver area gonna ping ya to setup sometime. That Space Invader is on my list Sad I can't get in on this amazing space making.

Waaa all the good stuff is in Portland... would you ship it North?

Is this thing on???

Oh boy... If we ever decide to get rid of the freshwater tanks I'm hoping to replace them with a peninsula, lagoon and frag tank I fully agree one tank isn't enough

I will fully admit that I only know a little about SPS outside of wanting good flow and stable parameters, but I am familiar with algae and treatment I'm wondering if that's GHA (which it looks like) would fluconazole work to get rid of it? I know its primarily made for bryopsis but I've seen some posts on R2R about folks treating GHA with it in mixed tanks. Just wondering if you'd looked at that option. I'm currently treating my QT tank for GHA. We've tried everything to remove it from the gsp and clove rocks. scrubbing, picking, lawnmower blenny, snails, emerald crabs, and hydrogen peroxide cleanings literally dipping and scrubbing... It still comes back.

We love our euphyllia... but now were moving more towards the SPS space. We've seen some amazing SPS tanks and now we're hooked:)

Thank you! I have to share that we do have 5 tanks in our house already 3 freshwater and two salt 😱 Though we're trying to downsize now... water changes are becoming a day long event making and mix RODI water. For our first "big" tank we planned on a WB or RS, we ultimately decided on the Waterbox because of the stand, I'd read a few reviews where the stand quality of RS had gone down we just didn't want to take a risk. Though I think we would have been happy either way.
