New Corals

[pumarjr]

Here is my current FTS as of yesterday

Here are some corals I picked up for $40 total. I think I made out.

Did I made a good purchase at $40?

I think that's a good deal for $40. Decent sized frags that look healthy.

Love your scaping in your tank!! Nice looking frags too...keep an eye on the xenia, it spreads like fire!

 

[geckoman2003]

I think you did good. Did they come from someone on this forum?

 

[pumarjr]

No. Someone locally is leaving town and I was there to help out.

You got a steal. That maxi mini was worth at least that on its own. Well done!

+1 on xenia they are like weeds.

 

[thewackyreefer]

Great deal. Can you give us some specs on your setup?

great looking tank!! carefull with that stealth heater!! lots of bad things happening with all marineland heaters as of late!!!

 

[pumarjr]

get you a ehiem jager they are great!!! and cost the same and wil lsave you more if they keep the tank from breaking!!

very nice aquascaping, and like the overall look! Lots of potential for how you want things to grow out. I totally love xenia, one of the nicest coral types out there, but I don't let it touch any of my tanks- it just spreads too fast! If you're running SPS, can especially be a problem, but hey, give it a shot and see what you end up liking!

 

[pumarjr]

Thanks for all the kind words. The blue cloves came with the $40 buy. So hey, I figured it was worth a shot.

be very afraid of that xenia...very bad idea if you don't mind its overbearing tendancy to overwhelm your awesome tank...yikes I learnt my lesson..:cry:

Nice corals. I'd second or third the warning on the stealth, a new heater is cheaper than a new tank and corals. Save it and use it to heat your water change water.

I have two hydor theo's lying around, are they worth putting in?

If they are big enough to run it, I would think so. Thing about heaters is that sooner or later they will go bad, so its rarely a bad investment to just buy an extra to have around.
