ok guys, I've been dealing with about 20 new incoming numbers on my phone and may have lost some of you in the shuffle. My appoligies. I have sold the blue tang and the cleaner shrimp, along with a few of the frags. I still have lots of frags and fish to pick through. Like I said I'm off tommorrow. Anytime after 10am is fine. 5619 Graphite Dr. Killeen, TX. 76542. Shoot me a text when your on your way. First come first serve because it's too difficult to keep track of everybody. I almost forgot about the rocks. I'm not expecting much for them, but they gotta go, so throw me an offer on some of the rocks while your here. Again, sorry for any confusion. I've been overwhelmed with calls and texts.

Hey guys, Sorry I get tons of PMs to sort through. I've been working allot the last few days, so I'll try to respond to you guys asap. I'm off work tomorrow so maybe I can have people come tommorrow. In fact, my number is 314-477-5156 so if you shoot me a text we can set something up.

I'm selling off what I can in the next couple weeks. Give me your best offer. Make it a decent offer though, I'm not trying to get rich, but am trying to get back some of the money I spent gathering these(particularly the corals). If I'm unable to sell I have a donation tank in mind. Fish: Blue Hippo Tang Green Chromis False Perc. Clown Lemon peel Damsel six line wrasse Pajama Cardinal Mandarin Dragonett Inverts: Coral Banded Shrimp 2-3 Peppermint Shrimp Pink Cucumber 3 Feather dusters cleaner shrimp Corals: (most would be considered frags) Monti Caps (orange, green, purple, 6 different kinds total) Various mushroom corals star polyps kenya tree birds nest star polyps kryptonite candycane(20-25 heads) green brain maroon brain pagoda green slimer oregon tort various other sps corals that I don't know the name of. devils finger(might have butchered the name of this one) Other Stuff I also would like to sell off my rocks and sand but not until I sell off all the living critters first. Thanks.

I know some of my fish have gone after my lazer pointer before. It's red and is a light and they definately see it. Being a lazer I'm not sure if this is in a whole different category or not I just thought I'd throw it out there.

I had an orange one with white polyps as well. It looked just fine(never growing though) for serveral months and then just kind of melted away.

I had a couple in the past with no luck. I've crossed them off my list of keepable stuff. Maybe down the road after I learn a little more about them Ill give it another shot. yours look great, especially the fan.

So........Dosing vodka is a good way to reduce phophates? I have a 140 gallon, how would you guys recommend me dosing my tank? This is the first I'd heard of it and am wondering the benefits.

I cleaned my skimmer prior to going out of town for three weeks and forgot to plug it in when done. I was surprised to see that nothing really seemed upset when I returned. Lucky me!

Thanks for the tip. The only one I don't have is a mag test kit. Soon.

Done deal! Thanks again for the new coral "frags". Some of them would hardly be considered frags due to their huge size. They look great in my tank. I've been staring at my tank since Saturday, as if I can see them growing. My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy and she's probably right. It was worth the drive from killeen just to see your new tank. Anyway thanks for everything.

Yeah I'd be interested. How much am I looking at?

Hey I checked out your video link. Pretty sweet tank. I like all the overhangs and caves you created.

Cool will do. Thanks.

Its 5 ft long, like 2-1/2ft tall and 1-1/2 ft deep.

Cool well, it sounds like I need more flow so when I get approval from the boss/girlfriend maybe I'll look into the maxi jet.

I should have started this post a week ago. I just ordered another K4. Is the mod your talking about the thing that rotates back and forth?(Not the best desciption I've ever made, I hope you can decipher it.)

I poked my head in at Aquatek on Saturday. Cool Place. I went in for live brine shrimp(2-3bucks) and left after spending over $100 and no live brine shrimp(they were out). I have no will power. Thanks for the offer on the frags, but I already have those.

Thanks for the tips. My Xenia is tiny and for the reasons you listed I put it in my refugium until I figured out what I wanted to do with it(same with my kenya tree). Originally I was flirting with the ideal of trying to get it to cover my back glass, but who knows. As far as equipment, I've get 2xKoralia4 and a Koralie1 along with my two return lines. Do you think this is enough waterflow? I need to get a real job so I can afford more stuff for this hobby.(I do aquarium maintenance.)

The corals listed are actually the ones I already have.

I have several sps frags that I am currently growing in my tank and always planned to get more down the road, once the ones I have are growing nicely. It recently occured to me that, in a year or two when these are really starting to look nice I don't want to have a bunch of little frag racks blocking the view. So I thought I should get more now so they all mature into colonies together. Anyway I was hoping that I could get some suggestions for some good frags to get and maybe if anyone knows where I could get the frags at a good price. I'm on a budget, so I can't spend a fortune. Here's what I have already: Orange Monti Cap Purple Monti Cap Cali Tort Acropora Tortuosa Blue Tenuis Pink Jade (Tort?) Ponape Birdsnest Green Birdsnest Hammer coral Kryptonite Candycane coral Starpoyps Kenya Tree Pulsating Xenya Assorted Mushrooms All of these corals are very small. I have plenty of room in my 140 gallon. I also have a tiny piece of superman Monti that doesn't seem to be doing well. I've had it for a couple of months and the blue base has faded. I had basically given up on it until a few days ago It seems to have new poylps around the edges. Maybe it can be saved. It's pretty high in the tank, does it need to be lower? Maybe I should start a separate topic for saving my super. I love the Monti Caps and know that I would like to get a brite green one if anyone knows anyone fragging them out.

I had a green bubble tip in a 55 with 50/50 power compacts for 4 years. It split three times in that time. Unfortunately one disappeared one day. I assume it went into my filter or something. I never saw any trace of it, kind of a mystery.

Nice pick up! You probably couldn't get the same amount of live rock and sand from a LFS for that price. Craigslist is great!

That sucks! I just had one of my clients(I do tank maintenance and cleaning) have her foxface suddenly start acting goofy. When I got there it was laying on it's side barly moving(ofcourse behing rocks in an impossible to reach spot with out moving rocks). Anyway I checked everything out and the were no obvious reasons for his demise. She had me get him out and by the time I moved the rocks he was D.E.D. dead. poor guy. Same thing though no signs of anything that would have caused his sudden change in health. A week ago when I had been there he was happy as a clam. I looked around the tank to see if anything else was stressed and all her corals, tangs, and other fish looked happy too. I guess thats just what fish do sometimes.

That tank looks awesome! He only had four fish though, so if unless you can avoid the desire to stock up on critters( I can't) I'd get a skimmer.
