Good luck. Been telling Adam to have me on that wait list since my first order. Was on my original list, it's awesome! Would love to see pics.....and even find another source lol!

Yeah it was on my original list also. I kept trying to bribe it out of him and when I stopped by his place to pick up my order I tried some more. The wait for me is finally over August 4 I should be the proud owner of this almost nearly impossible coral to get ahold of

I have it, but no par meter. It, like the Tyree Ultimate stag languished for quite a while and had a rough transition to LED from a T5 setup. Seemed like I could not get them happy no matter what I did. I recently built a new fixture with some violet and cyan, and am hammering them with a Gyre, and they are finally perking up. Nothing to show for it except for some blue encrustation starting to get green tips on some corallites. It was literally at deaths door before I moved it into the new prop tank. Check back in a couple of years

I purchased mine from a friend that purchased it in 2013 from BC.

Actually looked in my email and found the link! It is the one from this pack:

Mine will be under 250w 14000k phoenix bulb. I have 2 RW4s at 100% on else mode (reef crest) and a dc12000 about 50% on a 30 gallon. So I'm hoping the light and flow will be perfect for this thing

Mine is mounted at midtank level which, in my tank, puts it at near the reef crest. It is under 3 x 400w 14K Ushio MH's plus 3 x 400w 20kRadiums, receives about 350 PAR, and gets fairly turbulent, random flow. It came direct from BC and is now about 3"tall, 80% of which occurred during the last 3 months though I've had it well over a year.
