So after months of success, things have gone downhill on my reef. I bought a frag pack of SPS from someone off of Reefcentral and, to make a long story short, it was a mistake. The frags arrived cold, so I hurriedly put them in the tank without proper QT. They had bugs. So my tank has bugs, I think flatworms and redbugs. I have lost several frags over the last few weeks and I just don't have the time/patience/energy to fix the problem right now. My hope is that there is someone out there who has those things (time/patience/energy). Some of the frags are in rough shape and some are fine. I have about 25 different SPS of various sizes that I would like to turn over to someone. I am not looking for a lot of money, I just don't want to see them all die. So, if you think you'd be interested in nursing these back to health, please shoot me a PM. Thanks. Her are a few things I believe I have, but I'm not the best with names... fosters' green acro, red milli, orange digi, tubb's pink jade, purple bonsai, bali tricolor, pink lemonade, red planet, Tubs Mystic Blue, Paletta Turquoise, Lovelli Acro, green slimer, orange artichoke, fosters' super blue and some others....

Thanks for the heads up Josh. I'll try to swing by there later.

I'm looking for a ziplock bag or two amount of chaeto for my sump. I'd prefer to get some from someone in South Austin because I'm lazy... I admit it. I will go north if needed though. Sometimes I have to take one for the team... err... tank. Thanks.

Updated the list to show what is still available.

Most of the stuff is gone for now. It was great to meet everyone. Keith, JD, Jeff and Joey. Thanks.

Hey Belinda, not sure if you saw, but I PM'd you RE: the cat eyes.

I've had my wrasses jump out several times. So far I have been there to get them back in. I've also had one of them repeatedly end up in my corner overflow and once in the refugium. Still not sure how it got in the refugium yet though, since it's underneath the tank and fed by a maxijet. I did lose a clownfish to surfing though. I had just nursed it back to health after 5 weeks in my quarantine tank and on the day I was supposed to sell it to another reefer it committed suicide. I guess she had gotten attached to the QT tank?

That's crazy. Are Rhizos "agressive"? Have you been feeding it?

Sorry guys, she has found a new home.

I'm checking interest in a powder blue tang for $45. She is healthy and about 4-5". I'm only getting rid of her because she's too big for my 75g now. Having said that, I will only sell her to someone with a tank larger than 75g. She needs a lot of room to swim and will bully everyone else in a small tank because she eats everything! She's an awesome fish, but it's best for her (and my other fish) to move on to bigger and better waters.

I have a Koralia 4 and 2 Koralia 3s and I don't think there's enough flow in my 75g. But, I might be crazy. I guess it's all about how you position them and how your rock is set up.

Thanks offroad, I'm trying to be cheap and save a buck by getting it used :-)

Looking for a maxi jet 1200. Thanks.

My old dinky light fixture finally died when I tried to put in a new bulb. I guess that's what I get for trying to fix it when it wasn't broke... Anyway, I'm looking for a cheap little 18" 15w fluorescent light fixture to sit on my refugium. Please let me know if you have one lying around that you could do without. Thanks, Paul

Good work taking the lead. I'll get in on the next group buy. My reactors are on the way, so I'm anxious to hurry up and order.

Yeah, I think it's probably just best to stick with what has been working. I always thought the fixture had 150w bulbs, so in a sense I guess I'm getting a little bit of a bonus.

I've order a few reactors so that I can start running GFO, carbon and calcium. Where do you guys buy your media? Online? Locally?

Very odd. I guess Current USA makes a fine product From researching a bit online, it appears the ballast is electronic. I admit I don't have much electrical knowledge. What are the pros/cons to just continuing to use 250w bulbs? I've been using this fixture for a few months and even with the old, mismatched bulbs my SPS seem pretty content.

Here's the socket. I hope this is enough to tell. If not, let me know and I'll take it apart.
