    10 Foot Freebie!

    I am shocked that nobody wants this for their oscars, arrowanna or pacu or something.

    Reminder to Air Your Home Out

    We are in a good stretch of weather, so just a general reminder to get lots of fresh air into your home. Not only will your tank pH be happy, but there is lots of new evidence that indoor co2 of even 1000ppm for long periods of time can have health impacts to humans and pets. If you do not...

    Bristletooth tang to rehome

    I have one too in Longmont, but Timnath is much closer. If you need any tips to catch them, just hollar. I usually stop feeding the tank and only offer something tasty in the trap, like mysis - after a day or two the fish start to wander in and they get quite bold after a few times.

    Got Rock?? Free rock in Highlands Ranch

    Not that this matters much, but I would reuse rock that was known to be in copper. The risks are just not that large. Even if some unbinds, it will just bind again to some organics and get skimmed out or other aragonite. What amazes me with all of this is that nobody knows what their mined...

    Bristletooth tang to rehome

    I can come and get it after you catch it. I only really have acropora, but I can bring you a few frags. I have plenty of tanks with peaceful fish that it won't be able to bully at all.

    You still want some Motor City? Mine is large enough to cut some if you want to trade.

    Nicky J's Reefer 250

    It is polyp bailout by Poci. It can be fun. It can be invasive. If you google it, polyp bailout is a stress thing for some/most corals, but with Poci, they seem to do it when appearing perfectly healthy.

    WaterBox 220.6 The 2023 Rebuild

    If you are never going to QT all fish, inverts, corals, etc. then get a small pack of live rock from Florida and let it spread the worms, pods, starfish, etc. all over the tank. This diversity can help some fish diseases as they fall off of fish for that part of the lifecycle - the...

    10 Foot Freebie!

    All, this tank is not that heavy. I moved it by myself many times and Mike and I moved it into his truck with just the two of us. When I got it, myself and one other guy got it up from his basement with a hand truck and into my truck. It is not like 10 pounds, or anything, but it is not glass.

    WaterBox 220.6 The 2023 Rebuild

    I almost set that tank up in my garage for African Cichlids. I have an insulated and heated garage, so I was close. Just run some Weld-On over the leak and the rest of the seams and fire it up... should be Ok in a garage. :) Of course, I did get rid of it... so that says something.

    10 Foot Freebie!

    If the tank does not disappear soon, see if there are any freshwater forums in Denver. I don't know of any but those folks are always looking for larger tanks for their Oscars, Pacu and Arrowana and stuff.

    What are these?

    They can live in the sand too. They can eat all kinds of things that get near them. The even eat fish disease parasites like Ich Tomonts. They are great to have, IMO.

    WaterBox 220.6 The 2023 Rebuild

    I have had clowns tangs that were not mean. If they have some nice places to actually hide, then this can help - not caves and arches and things that humans like, but like stacked up rock where they can totally escape. Also, if you feed them well enough to grow an inch or two, this helps too...

    WTB: Purple Hornet Zoas

    I have blues, but they are not big. All that I have seen in person is that blue and purple hornets are the same thing, just different photoshopping - I am not a huge pro, so I don't know for sure.

    Free Ugly Frag/QT Tank

    Scratched and ulgy acrylic low boy type frag/QT tank. Was a tenecor 150g bowfront that the top had to be cut off, so it is half of that now. Tank works great and has an overflow with 1.5" drain. Black stand that is also ugly. I used it for frags for a long time and most recently as a welcome...

    MASC member tank build-off competition

    Did the links to our tank builds disappear? I cannot find mine anywhere and the links that I have go to other threads.

    Quest Library RedSea XXL750

    IME, tangs and rabbits are lazy and worthless for algae. I did have a few magnificent foxface that were really good, but others that did nothing but add to the bio load and look pretty. Get an army of urchins and snails. Pencils and rock urchins won't pick up all of your snails like...

    Need a LARGE protein skimmer

    I don't have the g6 anymore. Let me know what you end up with for a sump with size dimensions and stuff. I can sell some frags or just probably buy you something if we know that it will fit and not be an eyesore or anything.
