gflat's frags for the swap

[gflat65]

I have a several of some and one of others below.

Here are some shots of the SPS that I really want to not come home with. They are mostly well encrusted and getting big. Pricing $15-25 (some are 2-3").

Here are some of the mothers.

Not sure what this one is, but is similar to the Aussie delicate. It has more color, though.

So far, I have a frag pack for Paul, and a frag of the neon green acro for Tommy. I didn't miss anyone did I?

I would love some, but I would need advice for something that is less likely to die on me (just ask Brandon, everthing kills itself before coming home with me). I know I have enough light for a clam, but maybe not on the floor of the tank? I just haven't been able to keep them alive on the bottom.... I like the golden ones....

susan... if you took the glass off your tank they should be fine on the bottom.

as long as it is getting direct light and isn't under an overhang.

Brandon, the zoas are still stretched out. Is it going to take several days for them to get used to the light? I can't afford to get a new set of lights right now. That bar is only 6 months old. How often do I need to change the bulbs? Could that be the problem? I didn't run the big lights when the fish weren't in there (about 3 months so I guess they are only about 5 months....

 

[bkv1997]

i'd remove the glass and get your halides on a timer and try to slowly work them up to 7 or 8 hours a day. Your current bulbs should be fine for now.

Really?? You think 150DE's would be enough all the way on the bottom - that tank is 30" deep isn't it?? I wouldn't think it would be enough. just my opinion though.

Really sweet looking stuff Gary!!

 

[bkv1997]

I kept my purple croecea under 4 x 55 watt power compacts for over a year....

Just my opinion. Though i forgot she really needs to get a skimmer going.

 

[scouncil]

The skimmer is up and running like a champ! Got that octopus from Donny. It is working well. Sucking out slimy green stuff like crazy (well, WAY better than the non-working model!!!) And yes, 30" deep. Just like yours....

I've never tried a clam in anything but MH... Right now, they are at the bottom of a 40B, but the water level is only at ~12" (175W-one bulb). I'm bringing them all. Getting ready to start packing...

 

[gflat65]

I've also got a pack of scratch and dent aussie acans. They were all cut some time ago, but where I had them, a black algae began to grow from the plugs (all my Boston Reef Farms plugs in that tank do this...). When I transfer them to another tank, it disappears. I cleaned them up last night. Many are probably grade B (various greens and browns), but there are a few red and greens. I counted around 40 polyps total for $60 OBO, if anyone is interested. I'm hoping to not come home with many of my older frags.
