Crab Rangoon

going LED?

Still seeking some nice examples or matured specimens Also adding to the list: - medium/large Euphillia specimens, no frags - ricordia yumas

I look forward to an update featuring water It really looks great Chris, I had no idea you were building your own stand - props, dude.

Arg, that is exactly what he has, and many of them! I'm just worried about their size being small enough to become possible "snacks" but I'll never know, until I try. I swung by, but he says they are currently NFS - I gotta wait a month! Hopefully I'm able to find me an ORA example, and at least one of the yellows before that long, and I can pick one of the Tyree's from him in October.

Awesome, thanks Melissa! I think I can swing by there tomorrow since I'll be up North, and have never been in before.

It would seem that I've still yet to have anyone follow up on a yellow or green toadstool leather. I'm still interested, and wanting to feel out some locals before ordering elsewhere and dealing with shipping. ...but Divers Den does have a green one and a yellow one that are tempting Anyone?

Cool, any way you could get me a picture of it? A pic of it closed/agitated won't be very telling, but if it opens up at least halfway and you can snap a pic of it I'd just need to see it before trying to meet up. Just let me know Thanks, but I'm not looking for any cabbage, xenia, or kenya tree corals. Only the Fiji/Tonga yellow leathers, and the ORA/Tyree green toadstools. Cool, thanks for the heads up - I'll check your site. Thanks, I'd love to see a pic of it. Please let me know when you've got some pictures The bigger the better (or at least medium > small), as I'm not the biggest fan of growing out frags

I'm looking to buy a few leather corals. I would prefer they were not frag size, hopefully already 2"+, but if you have a good deal on a frag I may take you up on it anyway. I'm looking for the following: - Fiji Yellow Leather - Tonga Yellow Leather - ORA Green Toadstool - Tyree Green Toadstool Here are some visual examples (none of which are mine) You can PM or e-mail (oovwoo at gmail dot com) me for quickest response - thanks!

If you add the Berghia, please make sure to do one/both of the following: 1) turn some of your bigger powerheads off 2) dial large powerheads down I've had far too many friends and customers purchase & acclimate them, only to have them get vaporized by a Tunze/VorTech/MaxiJet/Korallia That being said, if you purchase the Berghia, do be sure to get an adequate number of them for your size aquarium. It should be pretty easy to resell them to somebody else after you're done, to ensure they keep doing their job & do not starve to death. There is always somebody in town with Aiptasia who could benefit from helping the little guys food supply, and help you recoup some of your cost

I can vouch for him trading the rock in on Sunday, I saw it happen

is that smallest/front-most piece one of the AAF rainbow pieces?

Yep, I know the process and all, and the reason the "most affordable" place won't do it is because they don't like having to zinc-plate the aluminum first, to get the copper to adhere. I tried reasoning that I'm still triple plating: zinc - copper - nickel! Shouldn't be any more work than the standard triple plating of chrome, but they said they just deny all aluminum jobs I think my best bet will just work out to be powdercoat, there's certainly no reason to go another route instead, unless I just wanted to gut my bank account more for the hell of it. I can achieve a polished nickel or dark chrome looking effect with powdercoat, so I have decided to quit messing around. Also, my wheels are 3pc rims, and WOULD actually be reasonable for plating in a shallow bath, given I only truly need the face/spokes + lip done Maybe you'd like to nickel-plate 132 bolts for me, instead?

Mikey, lemme know when you're ready to plate some larger stuff I sent out to 4 different places to get quotes on getting the face & lip of my 16" wheels plated, and each came back with about $1200-1400 quotes. Needless to say, I passed. Sad thing is, nickel plating is one step away from chroming, and I know a chroming joint that would have only charged me $800ish if they just weren't aluminum...

Yeah, URI became UVL - but their SuperActinics are all the same, and just as good as ever

Pretty similar to the care needs of a gorgonia - it's an azoo coral, and they outline it's needs pretty well on the sale/item page.
