  1. I am selling my 24G JBJ Nano. It's a couple of years old but in great condition. The middle chamber is already cut away to set up a small refugium. It comes with the black stand and a recently replace maxijet 400 for the return pump. This is currently an open air cube, but I have the ballast and hood as well. I have a 75w K2 Viper MH clamp on fixture. There is some coral, live rock, and live sand/gravel that I will throw in for free. The lights on the hood have about 1 month use and I will also throw in some unused CFs that go in the hood.

    $150 for tank and hood with Compact Fluorescent lights

    $100 for MH

    $225 for everything

    Will post pics later need to charge the camera.

  4. I checked and didnt find anything...i've been searching Craigslist throughout SWT area and have never seen the tank / price you refer to...can you provide url? thanks

    I think the seller sold it or took it off CL. This is the only one I could find in a 160 mile radius.

  5. I'm going to assume that you do not normally suffer from anxiety or have been drinking a lot of coffee? What kind of contact did you have with the zoas and palys?

    If you go see a doctor you might call ahead. I'm not sure how many places have treatment on hand for zoa/paly toxins. Then again you'd probably just confuse the person on the phone.

  6. I wanted to see if anyone has or has had a frag/grow out tank in their garage. What are your experiences? I've thought about this before and the main drawback I can think of is the temperature. Has this been an a big issue (heaters/chillers/extra electric bill)?

    When I first got into this hobby I went to a guys house who had some in his garage. I only slightly thought about the heaters and chillers back then and didn't ask a lot of questions.

  7. Mike have you considered fragging the torch and putting it in different areas of the tank (or moving a piece to a quarantine tank)? This would be more of a last result if you can't figure out the cause. I would vote for dipping them first.

    Here are a couple thoughts on what that might buy you.

    If there is something visible living in the skeleton and eating it, this might allow you to see it in the fragging process.

    If after separating them, only 1 frag continues to have the problem, you could study what is different. Then you could address that, or worst case remove that 1 torch from the tank.

  8. Yeah, just wait. My RBTA lost all of it's tenticles...I usually would turn off the powerhead and see if it released itself...it did this a number of times. The last was the worst and I think it may have learned because it's now staying put. It's been a month and has tenticles and is out in the open. Oddly...my clowns never touched it and now the small clown is always in it.

    I found turning off the powerhead works well too. When the powerhead is on, the it can pull the anemone in if it is moving or to close.

    You might want to think about moving the powerhead far enough away where it won't be a problem in the future.
