I had just found this too!  Thanks for the internet sleuthing.  For what its worth, if you use the BRS description of "Probe Soaker Bottle" - there's not a lot of options to purchase outside of a few bulk order options!  

"Electrode Bottle" did much better!

Hey Guys -

I need to get my hands on a couple of storage bottles OR the original "caps" for my Neptune PH/ORP probes to ensure they don't dry out on me.

Example:  https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-ph-orp-probe-tip-soaker-bottle.html

Unfortunately, from my example, you can see that BRS is all out!

Does anyone have any bottles or the original caps, that you could sell to me?

Thanks

Hi I'd love to have both of your offers, but particularly the sand.  I'm also in Leander so I can fly over when you say.

Hey Bill!  I still have the sand available.  I'll PM you some details.

Hey Guys - 

I got a bag packed with 4-5 Mexican Turbo, and 2-3 Nassarius (sp?) snails in a bag to whomever can come pick them up first.  Just shoot me a message!

Also, I have 60-80lbs of live sand free to whomever wants it.  Its CaribSea Arag-Alive! Fiji Pink sand, and been in my tank for 5 years or so.  Please bring your own buckets for the sand.

All of these need to go today!  Thanks!

Greg

Thanks guys - all are spoken for!  I gave it to the first PM I got.  Thanks for all the help and support!

Hey guys - 

I had to move on short notice, and unfortunately, I think I'll have to be breaking down the tank.

I have just a few  older fish that I love - that I just want to be homed to a new good location.  

• Mated False Perc Clown Fish Pair
  • One Black and White (male), and one Orange.
• Coral Beauty Angel 

Seriously though - please if you come and get them.  Treat them fairly.  They've always been good to me and my family!

I'd love to get a name down for one of those orange polyp sps!

Whew, wish I had the money this month to afford those Duncans. That look amazing!

I hear you can also take a turkey baster and fill it with pure Vinegar solution and blast them directly. It's supposed to do the trick (although, luckily, I haven't had the infestation yet)

I'll take the Reef Foundation if Makena drops out.

Arrrgh! Why'd I miss this guy - I'd love to have one of these in my tanks! Let me know if it falls through

Pending

If this falls through I'd love to be next in line.

Just lost my clown who decided to get a closer look at my tile floor.

Wow! That was amazing!

Hey Sherita,

I saw your post and they look great - but $100.00 an inch is a little outside of this guy's price range for now

Hey Guys,

I need to add some non-green color to my tank! I'm looking to pick up some smaller SPS frags with some color to them! Digi's, Caps, Acros, BirdsNest, Milli's, Pocipora - what do you have out there for sale?

I'm located in Leander.

Thanks!

Greg

Dang I love the look of this!

50.00 too rich for my blood right now though

Um, every three months? You mean you can get away with that?! I have to pull mine every month and run them in acidified water. Skimmer cups get cleaned daily. What's the trick to every three months..........please do tell!

Dang - cleaned daily on a 75g? Is it skimming really wet? Seems like a bit much...

Are the venturi air lines clogged at all (or could become clogged?) That could cause the water column to rise in the skimmer. What are you doing to correct the issue every couple months?

Dangit! Always miss out

I agree with prettyfishy. It sounds like it could be Monogenean parasites (flukes/flatworms), which appear as "white growths" but are actually external parasites, most commonly around the gill areas.

"Fishes infested with monogeneans may become lethargic, swim near the surface, have clamped fins, seek the corners of aquaria or the sides of the pond, and have diminished appetite. They may be seen rubbing the bottom or sides (flashing) of the tank. Scale loss may occur where the monogeneans are attached, and the skin may vary in color where the parasites have fed. Heavy gill infestations result in respiratory disease (Figure 8). Gills may be swollen and pale, respiration rate may be increased, and fish will be less tolerant of low-oxygen conditions. Piping (gulping air at the water surface) may be observed in fish in severe respiratory distress. Large numbers of monogeneans on either the skin or gills may result in significant damage and mortality. Secondary infections with bacteria and water molds are common on tissue that has been damaged by monogeneans. In marine fishes, the capsalid monogeneans may infest the skin, eyes, and gills, resulting in extreme irritation to the host. Gray patches and open wounds may appear on the skin (Figure 9), and the eyes may be swollen and appear cloudy. "

Good article on it here: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa033

That really does look like it :/

Sadly though - she didn't make it through the morning. But good to know still. Wish I would have had time to attempt a fresh-water dip.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

If you know what itch looks like, don't take the picture for my sake.

PS. Your signature shows 48" T5 bulbs. Six at 18W each. Is it not 54W?

Oops - I just updated that. I was looking at the specs for the 6 bulb 24 inch model. You are right - 6x54w

I have a perfect spot to plumb in a UV sterilizer - just haven't gotten one yet. Might be good enough reason to do it.

I'll see if I can't snap a pic of it. Fish is pretty shy and the old camera phone doesn't always get the best lighting on it.

It doesn't really look like Ich to me. Typically when I've seen ich - it's been smaller white dots all over the fish's body. This seems to be a few larger ones - and only focused around the gills/pectoral fin area.

Still though - thanks for the Vitamin C / Prime idea - I'll pick some up and use that the next few days.
