BSA, Stratospheres update

tristanfish · Dec 16, 2015

Thanks to Ben from BSA for supplying these beauties. Thought some of you may want to know how they are doing.

-medium light, radions
-low flow

They are doing very well and always opened.

Give us an update when you frag them. Hopefully they aren't like the old ones and melt away

I'm sure as the polyp matures, it will develop those broken lines

Ah but if the polyps survive fragging after those 2 years... The next xmas will make up for it!!!

Would be really nice to have a non melting version of these polyps in the hobby.

Well... If you think about it. These were fragged and they seem ok.

When you say medium light, is it like 150-200 par?

tristanfish · Dec 21, 2015

between 100-150

tankstudy · Dec 21, 2015

Thanks!

tristanfish · Dec 21, 2015

I've been changing light pars for the tank recently.. I'd say they seem happy in a range of 100-200 in my experience so far. Check back in a few months

Hey all:

Here's another update. They popped out one baby, but lost one. Just melted away. So count is still 4. Go figure. Finally got the to move them and take some pics. Gotta say, in person they are just majestic.

Well yours are okay. There were about 40 sold and your the only one posting. At least that I've seen. I'd be very interested to hear how everyone else had done. Good job with these I hope to see some frags of these puppies pop up in the years to come.

Yeah, I would hope so also. People should be able to enjoy them. Pretty sweet to have if you're a zoa addict.
