No. I dont have FB or any other social media. This is the only forum i am a part of. It is a good idea. Maybe my wife can do it for me. Thanks for the idea.

Welcome to the reef!

Here from the Seattle area! 60g mixed reef. Constantly re-guessing my rock work and arguing with my protein skimmer (it's currently winning). Tomato clown, blue velvet damsel, arc-eye hawkfish, BTA, pencil urchin, tuxedo urchin, coral banded shrimp, electric eye scallop, brittle starfish, 4 emerald crabs, sally lightfoot crab, pom pom crab, 4 conchs, and a random smattering of miscellaneous snails and hermits. Zoas, candy canes, duncans, ricordeas, and way more pulsing Xenia than I ever wanted.

Welcome! Sounds like a lot of fun. What skimmer is giving you that much trouble?

It's a Reef Octopus BH90. If you even look at it funny, it starts pulling clear water and overflowing.

My favorite LFS was price matching this weekend and I was able to score a Tunze Comline DOC Skimmer 9004 DC for pretty cheap. I haven't set it up just yet (sick kids at home) but am eager to see what it can do.

Oh nice! The reviews look good. I hope it isnt as finicky. I opted out of getting a reef octopus (in sump version). Some people just love them though. I went with the Simplicity DC. It is a work horse and super quiet.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and that the kiddoes get better soon.

Glad I'm not the only one in Washington state! Although, my nearest decent LFS for saltwater is 2+ hours away. The most local stores all got rid of their saltwater sections, reducing it to mostly cheap test kits and nets. Nothing live at all. It'd be great to have local buddies to trade and shoot the breeze with, but I know of no one on the island.

(In the process of setting up a 150g reef, and even relatively cheap fish/corals break the bank with shipping.)

Blessings :)
