  1. One of our male Seahorses has been subject to multiple episodes of Gas Bubble Disease sine his first birth cycle. I was out of town the first time he was "burped"( thanks Nnewhouse and wife Heather) and has had the problem a couple times since then. Has anyone else had horses with this ongoing issue? I have eliminated all micro bubbles in the tank with fine and coarse media pads. The sump has a bubble trap and I have inspected the return pump for vacuum leaks. Visually, the water is clear and absolutely no bubbles. I think the little guy is getting tired of us qt'ing him and burping his pouch, although he acts like a 10 year old at Disneyland when we are done. Its amazing how these animals can be lathargic one minute and near death, then by pulling them out of the tank, performing a procedure on them and putting them back that they get this spike of life and swim around as if they have discovered a new environment and were just dosed RedBull...weird.
  2. You and I should never go out in public together unless the local authorities are all on vacation at the same time.
  3. Come on down to Eugene....I'm sure a few of us would help you.

    Sump Questions

    I have a 40 breeder and have acrylic traps,skimmer box and a vented pump box. Just cust to fit and silicone them in. No problems yet. I did build some baffles in the acrylic sump for the reef ,using acrylic and siliconed them in. One of them didn't get a bead on the backside and it slipped. PM Nnewhouse..he has a thread from RC that walks you through siliconing a sump together in 2 hrs and works great.
  5. That stand looks hefty...I bet you could park that bad a$$ mini on it!
  6. Thanks for the " clams on the half shell"!! Its funny how 3 LFS in Eugene cant seem to find them, order them etc and Garrett has them in 3 days! Buddy, quit your day job and start a store here.
  7. Put it on Ebay as " vintage" sealant....there's one born every minute, you might get a few bucks for it!

    Naso not eating

    Try soaking misis in garlic for a 1/2 hour before feeding. Garlic triggers a feeding response in fish. It has worked for me with different fish.
  14. I'll take it! Call me when you are around tomorrow 541 515 0005. Jon
  15. You should re-fi it and keep it. Nothing beats life behind bars!
  16. +1..on calling around. Some stores part out the impellers and junk the rest of the canisters. Try amazing aquarium in albany, its like a swap meet inside,bring a sample.
  17. Nick at rose city has a nice used 90g on a nice black stand w/canopy ,internal overflow,pump,sump etc. Patrick at salwater fantaseas has a new 90g (marked as a 75) standing on end behinda couple tanks..just bare tank. He also has a complete 75g system running with sand and rock.
  18. Nice job Roger. I bet the kids love it! Have you had any kids really get into the hobby and set up tanks at home?
