I got thhis a couple of month back and selling for what I paid for it $65.00.

It measures inch by 4.5 x 4.5 inch across. Good size chalice and nice coloration. I'm in North Austin by Lakeline mall.

All I was saying is that if that, if all the parameter are good and water change might stress things up a bit or already done recently, why not try something that the coral use by add some element to see what effect it might do to improve.It is a favite, it does "eat" , and I also said " small amoun't " not a a cap full. Iodine is a bases of healing for the corals a little extra will never hurt. Plus there is a skimmer on the unit to take out what the coral don't use. My bad that I didn't talk about bleaching, I know the difference. If you have a large set up like that , small amounts and not testing would do hardly a dent in anything but just supply a little extra for coral that need it right? Just putting my 2 cents. For my set up I dose one capful of iodine everyday trace cap full every 4 days for 3 yrs no testing. No ill effect on my 135 gallon.

-Joseph

no she wants expensive reef fish, I think shes trying to get me to go sea horse in the 55 gallon, lol.

-Joseph

Well mine never faded or brown out but I suppliment alot to prevent browning. Coral I got that browned out in people's tank colored quick in my tank. Bonsai Valida that browned out under 400 MH started to get half it's body with the right color polys and body in one week. It is large acro so I think it will take a month or so to completely flip. I went from VHO to 250 metal halide ,and up the suppliment and everything looks great. I only recommend to feed the coral mysis shrimp to make sure it's healthy and up add some trace and iodine to your regements in small amounts every third day.

-Joseph

It's funny how everyone says they got something but no price...lol.

So what is the price or really no tanks?? jk, lol Just curious and kinda thinking it's not real bc of the lack of pics or price. Wifey looking for a tank so I'm jumping on to see whats up.

Where is Regal plastics bc I'll get it today.

-Joseph

Thanks, just let me know when you are.

Joseph

The tank looks much better! My only recommendation would be to remove the photo background and use solid blue or black. I think it makes the real corals pop more.

I know this is a dumb question but are those blue and black background painted or they a reflective backgrounds? Like the sheets they sell at the local fish stores? I seen both but I can't get behind my tank to paint it. What do ya recommend?

-Joseph

Nice to meet ya Stacy, I'm in the cedar park area too, well more like next to lakeline mall lol. Yeah , both clubs rock and you find some really nice corals for the money. There is another maast meeting in San Antonio this month and in May will be at greenmako's casa in round rock. So keep on " reefing" <-- I'm a dork, sorry, didn't get alot of sleep lately, lol. I have some corals for sale if your every interested since we live pretty close to each other.

-Joseph Le

I cleaned out KyleV corals he was getting rid of to go fish mainly. I looked at my receipt and since I been on ARC and MAAST in the past I guess 3 months. My tank changed alot . I post pics a while back but compare to now, ya will see what I worked hard for and speant tons of moola. From running VHO's and PC only 4 months ago to now, with Two 250 watt MH and 6 ft VHO Super actinics. Now having a sump and all the good for the wave effect in the tank and upgrade on all power heads. I would never imagine I go this fast in such a short amount of time. Enjoy my work, it cost me an arm, leg and some hair lost. It all comes down to the love and dedication that bite me again after seeing soo many great tanks and being inspired for the future. When we move from our house in 2009, I will have a 300 gallon plus tank as a room divider with all the goods. The race is on to have the ultimate tank! Ohh and I'm going to buy a huge chiller now for the future. Hate heat issue, don't want fans everywhere anymore.

-Joseph

Ohh and In those pics there is no VHO Super Actinics, waiting for Icecap to send back the repaired icecap 660 ballast. Just running my Mh bulbs. Was thinking of putting my Pc back on for the time being but got lazy!

-Joseph Le

We went to Guatemala for a wedding last month and I got a lot of the pics uploaded to my site. Here they are if you want to check them out.

Well as you been looking up on it. They eat the same stuff as mandarin but also go after the larger copepods that the mandarin don't like. They are nocturnal, and will feed at the dusk hours of the day or very early morning. It just happen that mine freaked out and hid himself for the first day. Since I work from home as a Loan officer at a mortgage bank, I have extra free time to look at the tank. RIght when I saw him, I had some Pe mysis and live brine availible. SO I shot alot into the tank so he first was hesitated but after seeing the live brine ,he attacked everything. Now I feed him at 3 pm to insure he's out till 11 pm or 12 pm, then I shut the light for night time. You just have to wait for him to be out at business hour and shoot food so he will learn to eat at your own time.

-Joseph

Welcome fellow Reefer!!

I have two different leopard wrasse, one in the main tank and one in my fiance's tank. The blue spotted leopard loves PE mysis and the same one that you got love the smaller mysis and live brine. I have to get her used to me feeding thru the baster till I convert her to full mysis. The eat copepods like mandarins so I hope you have alot of them to keep them happy.

-Joseph

Just wondering, are they for bathroom material, just kidding.

-Joseph

1st goody from Horizon Don't know what is the same but it's a tri-color size of Softball.

2nd. It's a purple acor with neon blue polys. noticable larger than soft ball.

Now all the stuff above from Horizon I got today. The rest is from the frag swap. Awesome Blastos. (from Chui)

Huge live rock with red palys and gsp. Home of the jawfish.

Two Seaworld frags AKA Selago Acropora. and the one on the far right is from the raffle tickets. I have no clue what it is. Its' pink with pinkish red polys.

More on second post.

Well here is the thing, you would need to have a rock scupture that is about mid way up in your tank or higher to have Acros and good current. Now I have grew my acros in vhos before going to metal halide and they were just fine. but my rock set up was 9 inches from the light. As long as you redid your rocks , it would be just fine. Let me know. I have some other that will grow just fine in your light set up.

Last bump!!
