thinning out the tank

[ironman]

well my montiporas have taken over again. I need to trim them back alot. I can make small frags, or large colony size pieces. they have gotten so big that I cant keep up with the calcium consumption in my tank. and there colors arnt popping as much. Every time I have to pretty much cut the colonies in half then everthing goes back to normal.
So I have solid lime green, green with blue polyps, bright orange or some people call it red, brown, purple. they all have at some time had a purple ring but it is only there when I can keep my water levels up, same with the blue polyps. the purple is currently dark purple to brownish purple, but when the water is right it is a bright blueish purple. Like I said I can make frags the size of softballs maybe alittle bigger. or obviously smaller. If anyone is interested let me know. Im open for some trades if its something i dont have already.

Hmmm, are we talking digitata or capricornis??? might be interested in the green w/ blue polyps... You have pics??? Coming to the MTRC swap???

 

[ironman]

hey randy, sorry I didnt specify, they are all caps. I dont have pics and dont have a camera worth shooting. No im not going to the swap. however I can send some with either patrick or brandon for you. Since I cant get you pics ill just send you a good size piece. when it settles in and colors up we can work out a trade or something later. im in no hurry to get something, just need to get the stuff out of my tank. HEHE.

I am going to the swap to Brian so if you need me to carry something up I can.

Throw some prices out there.

 

[ironman]

$100, $200, $300 need I keep going? HEHE! what are the prices for? LOL

If there is something you want just tell me and ill throw out a price. I would guess anywhere from $5 on up to $100 for a large colony size. there are so many colors and sizes that I cant just price abunch of stuff, and Im not looking to get rich. the purple and the green with blue polyps are more valuable if that helps. But im not trying to do the whole $20 for 1/2" like RC people do. thats just stupid. mine grow a 1/2 in a week. HEHE! I would prefer people get a bigger piece, I hate cutting up nice size corals.

 

[ironman]

thanks for the offer dave, If it works out that would be great man

 

[Yote]

[ironman]

[Yote]

I'm gonna try and bring it up to you Randy - that way you can just put it into your tank without it having to sit in a bag all day.

Of course there will be a delivery fee - I'm sure we can work out a trade for some shiner bock!!LOL

 

[ct_vol]

Sweet... Thanks Bryan and Frenchie...

 

[ironman]
