Will anyone take it for $200????

Interested in bird of paradise

I'm thinking about switching to smaller tank. So, I'm checking to see if someone out there might possibly be interested in an Oddly shaped tank. This tank have been in service for well over 10 years, so it's a proven durable tank. 3/4" thick glass with reinforced plywood bottom; it is semi euro braced. Canopy is hanging type, its a DIY'er made from aluminum and white acrylic. Stand is also DIY'er with 6x 4x4 as main posts. Tank got 4 holes drilled in bottom towards the back at equal interval, it was used for close loop. Buyer will be mover, this tank weighs "a ton", so get at least 5 buff friends. I'd like to get $400 for tank, stand, canopy, and 55gal tank (that I used as refugium/sump) with its own stand. Check images for dimensions, tank is roughly 210 gal. I'll also add in the PM skimmer w/o pump, you can get a sedra 5000 to power it; the collection cup has a drain so you can connect it to waste collector box (I have a DIY waste collector box that can also be included if you want). skimmer is at least 30" tall, I haven't measured.

My mangroves grew pretty slow; now both are dead. When they're dead, the body will shrivel up and turn deep dark (almost black). If the body of your mangroves are still plumped and green, it should still be alive.

Craigslist sometimes have microscope on sale; that's where I got mine, it's one of the HS microscope. When I strained my rotifers, they look darkest orange on the 50micron sieve. It's likely the tiny tiny dust like cloud in the water are rotifers; any other organics that size, will foul the water rather quickly and that's how you know they're not rotifers.

I run GFO rx, calcium rx and carbon bag. I tried carbon dosing for about 3 months; if you have a filter sock and do carbon dosing, you'll have to clean it every 2-3 days. I got tired of having to clean the filter sock every few days, so I switched back to GFO rx (less daily chores). Carbon dosing does work, just as well as GFO rx IMO; I guess if you don't use filter sock and have an over sized skimmer, carbon dosing is ok. Right now, my filter sock is acting as "pods factory", all the detritus that get traps in the filter sock are eaten by the pods; thus I no longer need to clean the filter socks (i use nylon mesh filter sock). To me Calcium rx isn't too hard to dial in, but it's important to have pH monitor for monitoring the effluent pH and also the tank's pH. Good test kits are a must when you running calcium rx, you'll want to keep track of the Alk and Calcium, so it doesn't get out of range.

#11 looks like candy cane (Caulastrea)

I assume i just hook the same colored wires together? green with green, white with white, and black with black? correct

If your oddysea fixture has same power plugs like mine (computer power cord F/M adapter), then you can go find an unuse or buy a new computer power cord at Radioshack or Frys then splice the cord to ballast for connection to the fixture.

I read somewhere that DE supposedly has better output efficiency than SE; but I haven't tested myself. Make sure you use good reflectors though, you'll be glad you did. I've used both myself and I still like SE more just because, like Toxiq said "lots of bulb options". Also DE lamp tends to be more expansive than SE.

what model and how old is it?

ever consider homemade frozen? saves more money in long run, plus you get to control what you put in.

seems like MAAST mod are covering their behind, by locking the thread, for future sponsorship from PM.... Defeats the whole purpose of "vendor & product experiences" section.

I have brand new BRS PH probe.

can I grab a small piece? lkm (address) Thanks.

Still have 4 left.

here are some update pictures of the babies.

update: have about 10 of the babies left for sell.

Thank You very much

I'd say stability; ie. constant water temp, food supply, water change (2x daily), and low light. Also, don't spook them (e.g. stick your hand in the tank for cleaning) they start to go crazy (swimming for the lives) then some die afterward. My batch had over 700 eggs, but only about 300 hatch and now only about 70 after 4 months (results from moving them around too much).

I think they will stay "burnt orange" not likely they will turn black.

I have about 70 of these babies total, some are ready to go, some aren't. They vary in size from 1/2" to 1-1/2" they are all from the same batch of egg, roughly 4 months old; only selling the one that are closer to 1" and over. $10 each, 5 for $40 pictures show parents and current babies.

It's possible, I have 3 clownfish in my tank right now. 1 black-Osc., 1 orange-osc, 1 gold stripe. The two osc paired up the black one is female (they even have babies); the gold stripe is by itself. Although I have a 200+gal tank, they pair and the gold strip live "on the other side of the wall" from each other, I setup my rock like a wall. I only see them bickering when they see each other, other than that they are find together.

interested in the garf bonsai, alien eye favia, new cut red planet, strawberry patch favia, lobo. can you post pics of favias and lobo, thanks
