I'd be interested - I'll look for the maast thread. I need some peppermint shrimp, ceriths and nassarius snails.

I'm looking forward to it, Joe (and fellow ARC members). I assume that directions will be forthcoming? Let me know what I can bring, I'd be happy to help. Mike

Hey aggie, I've got some nice green zoas that you could have if you're interested, that is, whenever you get to town. Hey Clint, which zoanthids are you wanting to part with, I might be interested as well. Mike

Robert, I wish I knew you were preparing those zoas and that monti for fragging, I would have "signed up" when I was at your place. I'd love to get a $10 frag of all 3 zoanthid colonies, as well as the tabling montipora. Please put me in line if there's enough available. Thanks in advance. Mike

You know I'm in for a bag. John, just let me know what I can pick up for you. Mike

I'm there for sure

Yep, we can just settle up at the meeting. The order went out today, so it's officially closed. I did end up ordering a few more of each so that others at the meeting can get some if they wish. gel = $3.31 accelerator = $1.26 I'll cover the shipping costs.

OK Bruce, got ya. Glad to see that the monti frag did well, and I hope it grows out to a nice coral for you. If you want more, let me know. I'm going to close the group buy at the end of the week, so if others want to participate but haven't chimed in yet, please do so soon. Mike

Clint, you're already there, bro!

No kidding!!

OK Gabriel, I'd be happy to hold on to your gel until you return.

I spoke with the vendor for the gel, and they have plenty in stock. I'll need to close the group buy about 5 days before the meeting, so check your request to ensure you've got the right amount.

Hey Dude, we talked about getting me 2 of these, but I don't see my name on your list. Opportunity missed?? Mike

Thanks for the update. I figured the date might change since so many people were going to be unavailable at the end of this month. Since it's not set "in stone" yet I'd like to vote for August 5th since I'm on call on the 6th.

Do we have a date scheduled? Hate to harrass, I just need to know so that I'll know when I have to close the super glue gel group buy. Mike

Love the Les Paul, Andrew! Mine's an '89 silver sunburst.

Congratulations, it looks like you went the right direction by adding ozone to your tank. Although with a skimmer like yours, who needs ozone . I checked out the unit that you are using, and it's gotten great reviews. Are you using the unit with the built-in controller, or are you using an external controller? Red Sea also sells a unit with an ORP probe, or you can choose to get one separately (like a PinPoint) and attach it to the Red Sea unit. Which route did you take and why (if you don't mind me asking). I'm really interested in ozone, but I'm a little leary since I have a mixed reef and if the water is "too clean" then my softies might suffer (?). Your ORP has been steadily rising and your pH hasn't budged ... guess my theory about the partial pressure of CO2 and an expected alkalosis wasn't correct afterall dontknow.gif .

I'm happy it's working out well for you; I have a few questions. Do you have nuissance algae in your tank and, if so, has running ozone had any effect? Does the unit that you are using occupy much space? What skimmer are you using, by the way? Thanks, and please continue to report on your continued (hopefully) success. Mike

Just saw this thread ... snoozed and loozed (y'all know what I mean). I'm posting here so that I'll get an email update in the event that there might be another group buy in the future. Hopefully there will be! Mike

Do you have a pH monitor? That would yield more precise results than your test kit, the results of which are quite subjective and can be influenced by differences in room lighting, etc.

As the partial pressure of oxygen increases, then the partial pressure of CO2 will decrease. Less CO2 equals more alkalosis and, therefore, a higher pH.

I considered ozone for a while as well. Check out these articles if you haven't read them yet. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-03/rhf/index.php http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-04/rhf/index.php http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-05/rhf/index.php Mike

I've never seen that white stuff before -- weird?? Are the polyps out yet? I've had GSP for many months. They've had periods up to 2 weeks without polyp extension, then for no good reasong they just open up again. Like John said, as long as they're not peeling off, they're probably OK. So what is that white stuff? Could something have spawned in your tank?

I updated the previous total tally to reflect everyone's needs. As changes are made I'll continue to update the previous post on this first page so that everyone can easily see what I'll be ordering. When it's time to place the order I'll probably just go ahead and order extras, as there's no guarantee that everyone who will attend the meeting will have had a chance to see this thread. It looks like 3 gels/1 accelerator is in high demand! Now all we need is a meeting date ...

No inconvenience at all, Andrew, I just wanted to make sure that all meeting attendees would know about the availability of this group buy. I'd hate to incite 'glue envy.'
