[twon8]

[msman825]

its a beauty, is it still coloring up Ant or is that its color. looks like the tips are coloring greenish blue.

 

[twon8]

it is still coloring up, it was light yellow/green at the lfs under t5's, i figure some time will see what it ends up

 

[msman825]

Twon, do you get most of your corals from Atlantis?

Twon, do you get most of your corals from Atlantis?

yup, they rock, and right now they have at least 6 acros i want; there was another lfs near me that closed down about a month and a half ago, at that point i was getting most from atlantis and the rest from him. the one that closed was a one man operation and he had great prices, maricultured acros for 50-60, which was a steal.

Nice! I think Acropora speciosa.

Thanks Twon. What are the prices for SPS colonies at atlantis?

 

[twon8]

Thanks Twon. What are the prices for SPS colonies at atlantis?

range from 49-300; and right now he has close to 100 colonies, a few of the ora german green w blue polyps acro frags

he's got maricultured acros starting at 69, with some at 89, 109, 129, and 149. wild vary from around 50 to 300

right now there is a one foot desalwii? table, great colors, priced at 299. he has a much smaller one for 179, a few purple samoensis at 99, proably 3"

the one above was 149, i got 175 in credit for trading in some xenia and a few acros i had grown out, so i picked it up.


you guys really need to check it out, right now he has two black tangs

 

[twon8]

i got this one a few months ago, it is getting heavy flow on this side, and is starting to blow up.

 

[twon8]

i grew this out from a frag, supposed to be A. desalwii; it has great color, which is almost completely hidden by the brown polyps!

 

[twon8]

and just to mix it up, a growth shot, mille, last july:

two days ago

Man twon thats some nice stuff there! Twon i hear ya on thier corals. I buy alot of sps from them,reefscience, and a lfs. Good stuff! Now thos lokani colonys there look sweet! would have snapped one up if i didnt have one already, But its still tempting because my colony is half the size, and they grow slooooow. My torts laugh at them.

 

[JGoslee]

That millie has great color!

 

[gflat65]

My torts laugh at them.

Had to laugh.

 

[Raptor]

Had to laugh.

LOL Its true, The slowest growers are lokani's and hokesamai's., I wish i had some way of making then grow faster.

 

[gflat65]

Yup.

Anthony,

How much kalk do you run in your topoff (tsp/tbsp per gal)? I have one heck of a time keeping my Alk/Ca balance straight, so any thing I can do to help it stay balanced will be a huge plus.

 

[Stixbaraca]

I am pretty sure they are just in Cali


And the corals they have under their "frags" section...is totally insane!

 

[gflat65]

Oh, I forgot I remember seeing Anthony post that there is a LFS in VA named Atlantis (if I'm not mistaken-maybe surfn can help out on that one). Anthony is on vacation in Italy, so he likely won't be posting for a little while. Atlantisaquarium.net has some nasty corals. Love the eye candy.
