  1. Thanks Tim. Things have changed a lot for us in the last couple of years. About two years ago we made a decision to retire to Portugal. Our plan is still about 2 1/2 years out. At that point my thinking was to reduce my case load as a therapist and move to a purely online practice and be in semiretirement working from Portugal. The whole pandemic has in someways spread up part of that. The lease in my office is up at the end of July and with no clear idea of when I'd be able to start seeing people in person again, I decided to accelerate the part about moving to an online practice. Bringing the aquarium home poses certain difficulties, particularly in regards to cooling it. Our household A/C unit struggles to keep our house at 78 degrees during the summer and I'm not sure I can keep the aquarium cool enough. That coupled with the fact that I'd still have to go through the breaking it down before we move and it just makes more sense to let it go. I'll certainly give a discount if someone on the list wants to take it. Cheers, Paula
  2. Hi All, I know it's been a long time since I posted. My aquarium has been doing splendidly except it is now time for me to let go of it. The aquarium is in my office waiting room and I am currently in the process of moving my office without a space for it in my new office. Pictures and details can be seen on CL if anyone is interested.
  3. Hi all, it’s been a while since I posted (or even visited). The tank is going great. I’ve been slowly adding redundancy and backups for pumps etc. really happy with the tank these days. I’m going to have to miss this meeting. I’ll be out of the country (on holiday in Portugal). I’ve been resisting any new coral, fish, etc until I return. Y’all have fun and I’ll see you on the next one. Paula Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Yeah, that's about the scale. I haven't been able to find anything on the interwebs that looks like them. Thanks Tim
  5. It’s growing in the darkest depths of my DT and I had a hard time getting a good picture. Any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers, Paula Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. And there’s the little fellow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Well, I got a good picture of the top and it’s definitely a limpet. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error message when I try to upload the photo through Tapatalk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I'll have to try to get a better look at the top. It's on the front glass so a little harder to see.
  9. Sweet! Thanks. That's exactly it. Cheers, Paula
  10. It’s about 3/16ths to 1/4 inch. Kind cool looking. Nice colors showed up when I took its picture. Thanks, Paula Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. No, sorry. I snatched it up. Cheers, Paula Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I can take that off your hands for $40. Where are you located and how can I pick it up? -paula Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  14. I think that since it really hasn't been an issue until recent overfeeding by pet-sitter, I'm going to try manual removal and water changes to get it under control. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  15. Looking good!!! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  16. Thx Dogfish. It looks like my substrate may be too coarse. Ah well. Probs my best bet might be to stick with a couple nassarius snails. Cheers, Paula Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  17. So, I'm considering adding a tiger tail cucumber to my tank to help keep the sand bed a bit cleaner. My understanding is they are better than say a sand sifting starfish as they don't eat all the beneficial pods etc and then starve. The only downside I'm aware of is the possibility that it can nuke the tank albeit the tiger tail is less likely in that regard than some of the other cucumbers. Any thoughts? -Paula
  18. I'd be interested in a $50-$100 sized chunk.
  19. thanks! Good buy. Not what i'd be looking for. Cheers, Paula
  20. Can't pull this up. Is this a dual fixture? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  21. Well, I'm back in town and have had a busy week. I have been wanting to upgrade my lighting so I bought the T5 retrofit package from BRS. I built a new canopy to house my Black Box LEDs and a pair of T5s. I added one Blue Plus and one Actinic. I'm starting them out at 2 hours a day and will slowly ramp that up. I am having a little bit of an issue with some GHA which I attribute to the tank being a bit over fed while I was out of town. I'm also thinking about upping my CUC just a tad. Currently I have three urchins (2 royal and 1 green), two Turbo snails, one emerald crab and about 6 blue legged hermits. I'm thinking about adding a couple of nassarius snails to help reduce detritus in the substrate. Open to other suggestions. Cheers, Paula
  22. I got one I'll save for you. Hey Ty, Still have that frag? I'm back in town and ready to go!!!
  23. Oh, John, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. RATS!
