I have no time for the hobby. Therefore I have plenty of stuff to get rid of. Not looking to ship, so local pickup only please. Main items to get rid of (vs throwing away or giving to the LFS) one Filstar XP2 one Filstar XP3 (both are very used, but fully operational, and I have all the...

the 40 gallon breeder tank is sold (thanks Tony!) if someone really needs a 20 gallon with a black stand let me know, but i can probably still make use of that tank from time to time.

Fishienewbie took my 29gallon setup. I still have a 20gallon tank, with black cabinet, heater, aquaclear 50 filter, and a glass top for sale. $45 is what I'd like, OBO. Also have the 40 gallon breeder with a wood canopy (no lights) I really need to get rid of. No other accessories or...

I have a mint condition Milwaukee MA97 regulator in perfect working order I'd like to get rid of for $55-$60. I put a post in the classifieds section...wanted to make locals aware of it.

Mint condition, used for about 2 years. Needle valve, bubble counter, solenoid valve, etc. Getting rid of it because I'm weening myself out of the hobby and no longer need this regulator. Asking $55, plus shipping which I estimate at $5 for USPS priority mail...so call it an even $60. Prefer...

I'm not so sure its the bulbs. I kept glosso with really old bulbs, and I'm pretty sure Tom Barr keeps it with barely 2wpg of NO bulbs. he's all about the CO2 though... what is your actual CO2 level at? I'd keep it at least 35ppm consistently.

it looks a lot like a marine macro-algae. very interesting stuff.

cold alone shouldn't hurt it, but if the reagents actually froze solid it might. since one is an acid, it should be fine...its the blue test reagent that might get messed up.

do be aware that the Hagen system is just a boxed DIY setup. store bought bread yeast works fine...I suggest getting a little jar of it, rather than the 3-packs since the jar seals better...and store it in the fridge.
