  1. I had to break off some montipora to create some space. It is supposed to be purple with blue polyps, but is more brown right now as it was at the bottom of the tank(I do have some of the same kind higher up that is more purple.)

    I have 3 pieces that are ~1 inch x 2 inches and 3-4 small 1/2 inch x 1 inch. I would sale them all for $10.

    Also, my sherman RBTA just split yesterday. So it will need a little time before it is ready to go. It is a very nice RBTA and will be big. Before the split it was ~12 inches in diameter if not bigger and looks like it split pretty equally in half. I will sell for $100 when it is ready

    I also have a big clump of red dragon's tongue macroalgea. I will sell for $20.

    I will try to get pictures in the next fews days. I broke my camera last week and it will be a few days before I can get it fixed.

    Thanks

  2. I am interested in hearing about your set up and experience.

    I don't want to hijack the thread, but I have been running a skimmerless tank for the past 3 years with some similar ideas. I read a lot of Eric Borneman's stuff. I have a fuge under my tank that has four different chambers that prof (Dave) custom made for me, that is made up of different zones in an attempt to have as much diversity as possible. I don't do water changes and my maintainance consists of adding kalkwasser to top off every day and feeding (I feed pretty heavily too)

  3. I haven't run a skimmer on my tank in the past 4-5 years. Skimming is one means of export, but not the only. They do work and I am not going to say they are bad or wrong. I choose not to use one, because I like not having to pay for one or not having to clean it out. (I have used one on my tank previously by the way).

    If you are interested in not using one, I would recommend reading Eric Borneman's forum on Marine Depot. Lots of good information there, including his study on what skimmer actually remove.

  4. I have a smaller rock with ~100-150 zoanthids on it. They have purple centers, orange mouths and green skirt. I would love to sell it today, really as soon as possible. I will sell it for $30. Picture is a few months old, but this is them.

    I also have a smaller frag attached to very small rock, has around ~40 polyps of the same zoanthids above. It also has 3 polyps of a different kind, the has orange skirts, orange mouth. I will sell for $15. Not a great picture of size of frag, but can see the different zoas.

    I want to sell them today, so first come, first serve.

    I live in Cedar Park, just off 183. My number: 258-4532

    Thanks

  5. Zoanthids have sold. They sold that same day, sorry I didn't post that they sold, things are busy

    J Boy, I am glad to hear the anemone is doing well. Mine is also doing great and is monstrous in size.

  6. I have a smallish rock with around 100 or so zoas on it. They have purple centers, orange mouths, and green skirts. Really are pretty nice looking zoanthids.

    I would like to sell it for $25. This is an old picture from a few months ago, there are more on the rock now. I would love to sell it today. First come, first serve.

  7. I have not run a skimmer in 3.5 years. I have no mechanical filtration. I don't do water changes. I do run a fuge with 3 separate chambers, one has macro, one is a DSB, one is full of pebble sized coral rubble. I have tried to provide different habitats for lots of diversity. I do have an anemone, SPS, LPS without problems. The last time I had my water tested, nitrates were less than 10. I don't have any algae problems either. I do run carbon and try to have different herbivores.
