Added a price thanks!

I got an interesting looking pistol shrimp with my KP live rock order. It’s living in my sump now. I got a second one that’s smaller and mainly white, maybe less than an inch. The larger pistol shrimp is probably 1.5” long, maybe longer. It’s got purple legs and orange body. Here’s the best picture I could get. Looking for a good home and if I can get an LPS/SPS frag out of it that’d be cool. $5 OBO SOLD Located in SE PDX.

PM’d you.

I saw the same observations when researching online. I’ll give the 2-4 hour acclimation a try and see how it goes. I’ll call around Portland to see who has some nice sailfins for sale.

I’m planning on putting a few in my 110 that I’m in the process of setting up. I’m getting live rock this week so likely next week I’ll get some mollies. What acclimation method did you use?

My incoming water in SE averages around 28 tds. I use a similar system to Rudy. It’s been great and I do like the zero water waste. I do notice the Anion burns through a lot more. I have a chlorine tester but haven’t gotten around to using it. For those using RO around here have you adjusted your rejection ratio if you have low incoming TDS?

Thanks everyone I’ll give one of these a try.

I don’t want to order online. Does anyone know a Portland area store that sells 1/2” and 3/4” grey pvc fittings? If not I’ll probably just use white.

Here’s what I snapped:

Looking to sell. I bought used from Cuttle but ended up going with a Reef Octopus skimmer and pumps so I could link to Apex. Prices are for pick up at the coral show between 11 and 12. Cash or Venmo. $60 for Simplicity 1600 DC Pump (comes with extra controller) $175 for RS600 pics:

I'm wondering if anyone in the club/area has bought ocean live rock from one of the Florida area suppliers? I'm most interested in KP Aquatics since they seem to be the less dense rock and ship in water. I wanted to ask the local opinion since we're about as far away as you can get in the states from them.

GreenJeans has one: https://www.pnwmas.org/forums/topic/52274-getting-out-of-the-hobby-sale-apex-vortech-kessil-etc/?do=findComment&comment=496239

I’ll take the 10 gallon Nuvo and Nero 5. Pmd more info.

Went with a different skimmer, Bubba Magus miniQ never saw water, brand new in box. $40 Accidentally purchased the wrong reagent. Hanna HI713 reagent (25 packets) for low range phosphate. $10 In SE Portland. Venmo or cash

I wonder which is better: https://isealive.com/products/innovative-marine-roller-mat-filter-fits-nuvo-fusion-10g-14g-20g-25g

Here's my plan based on the previous post and info I've received. I'll use a gate valve to control flow through the system. 6 stages: sediment, catalytic carbon, sediment, cation DI, anion DI, mixed bed DI. All refillable containers except the sediment. I'm going with 2.5 x 10 due to my somewhat low water volume requirements. The kit BRS sells comes with the TDS meter so that will have readings at: the inlet to DI, before the mixed bed DI, and output of the DI.

Hi all, last time I was reefing was back in the midwest. My incoming TDS was near 500 and my output was ~50 before the DI. The Portland water report shows TDS 22-38. I don't use much water for my Fijicube 22.4. Could I get away with just a triple canister DI setup? It seems much simpler to just filter through versus having to deal with the effluent water.
