Does anyone still use these? If so, you can have these four bulbs for free. They claim to include some UV in addition to a blue-shifted white spectrum. I have 4 that are 24" long and were never used. Even if you don't want them for your aquarium, maybe you have a 24" T12 fixture in your shop...

Hi BAR, I've had a lot of great interactions with people through BAR since I moved to the Bay Area for grad school in 2013, so I figure it can't hurt to reach out to the community again here. I've worked as a biologist in Professor John Pringle's lab at Stanford University for the past 5...

Update: All equipment is gone! Thank you! My time at Stanford has ended. But I can still access the lab to give away all the hardware. All living things except bits of coral I couldn't remove from the backing of the aquarium are gone. ~50 gallon acrylic display tank. 30+ gallon sump AquaC...

Hi again reefers, As part of the Pringle Lab closure at Stanford, we also have some anemones I would like to rehome. First of all, since we use Aiptasia (Exaiptasia diaphana) in our work, we have TONS of Aiptasia (literally 1000s). Obviously no one sane wants these in their tanks, but if...

UPDATE: @MichaelB picked up everything. He says he'll bring most of the corals (and live rock) to the upcoming frag swap. Thanks and I hope they all do well in your tanks! Hi everyone, Professor John Pringle at Stanford University is retiring, and his lab is shutting down. That means we need...

Everything was either given away or trashed. Thanks to those who came to get something! Hi everyone, The Pringle lab at Stanford is compressing into a smaller space, so we need to finally get rid of a bunch of old equipment we no longer use. Everything is free to whoever can come get it first...

These softies have taken over my aquaria at work and I need to make room for some hard corals. These are big, healthy, and easy to keep soft corals. I'll rip them off the rocks for you when you arrive. See the pics. Pick up in the Stanford School of Medicine, although I go to the East Bay pretty...

Hi everyone, My eyes were too big for my life, so I set up an ~200 gallon system ~2 years ago. That proved to be more than I could handle, so I tore it down and now I have these tanks for free. I cleaned them with pressurized water, but did not use acid to remove coralline algae from the...

I'm going out of town for a week from March 19th - 29th. My tank is pretty automated, including auto water changes, calcium reactor for Ca/Alk/Mg stability, etc. But I still need a tank sitter to feed my tank frozen food and to check up on everything. Can anyone help me out? It would be fine...

I'm planning on getting my rescue diver certification in about a month, and I was thinking that I'd like to take something from the local coastline while diving for my tank. I recently got a pencil urchin to help mow down some algae and it is clearly the best member of my CUC so far. So I want...

Well, I have begun another rite of passage in the reefing community. I've now dealt with Acropora eating flatworms and Montipora eating nudibranchs in my current tank. The AEFWs were eradicated months ago. But just this morning, right as the lights turned on, I noticed these little f@*!ers on...

I was looking at my tank a few nights ago, and I noticed a small green mushroom-like thing growing on the back of one of my snails. I realized it was an Acetabularia! Acetabularia is a genus of single-celled, eukaryotic, green algae. This means that although they are unicellular, they are...

I just had my first experience with Acropora eating flatworms (AEFW) this evening. They came in on frags from Diablo Corals. I don't mean to bash Diablo at all. In fact, I will call them tomorrow to tell them they have these in their tanks, just in case they don't already know. It seems that...

While attempting to drill holes in a 75 gallon tank (standard 48" x 18" x ~22"), I cracked the back pane. However, this was only after I successfully drilled a 1" x 11" slit in the right pane for an external overflow box. All other panes are in great condition. If anyone wants the tank, come...

This club has already given me a bunch of free aquariums so I figured I would give a little back. Up for grabs is a 50 gallon TruVu acrylic aquarium with black acrylic back panel. Very few scratches because, before I set it up, I sanded and polished the crap out of it to remove the scratches...

So I'm putting together a system with a 75 gallon display tank and a 50 gallon refugium/algae growing tank. I originally built a stand that put these two tanks back to back, but that was before I had a small garage to put these in. Now the gf says that putting a 49" x 35" piece of furniture in...

I'd like to cut an overflow into the side of a 75 gallon glass tank, like theses pictures I took from the net: Then I would install an external overflow box. I have drilled holes for bulkheads in glass tanks before, so that is no problem, but this seems much more delicate. It seems people...

So I am putting together an led light for my algae tank (a 50 gallon). I have 4 6500K led boards (25 watts each) that will fit beautifully on a 2" by 48" heatsink from heatsinkusa.com. I want to get the heatsink drilled and tapped so I can easily mount the led boards. I am going to ask...

Hi everyone, My name is Gabe. I'm a graduate student studying fungal biology at UC Berkeley. I set up my first reef tank in college in Dallas, Tx. I absolutely loved the Dallas Fort-Worth Marine Aquarium Society, so the first thing I did after getting situated here was look up the Bay Area...
