  1. sure...I can come tonight...but I have to make dinner for the youngin's!! How about 7:30? If not, tomorrow is good...

    lmk...Laura

    That should work. I am going to pick up a hammer coral from someone that lives by the Main Event. Do you want to meet there?

  2. We couldn't get enough people. Maybe when there aren't any big coral group orders going on, we'll be able to get one together. We already ordered what we needed, but I know Princer and Daniel were interested in getting something. Feel free to try and put one together if you like.

  3. sure!! But I can do it any day you are ready...I have the $$$ and live right down the street ;-)...just let me know day and time and I'm there...

    thanks!!!

  5. We had a carnation coral a while back and it was really finicky. We had the best luck with it when it was not in direct light, lower in the tank, but had a good amount of flow. From the research that we did on them, it is said that they are really hard to keep. Good luck!

  6. We picked up some rock a while ago that was fully dried out. We've had it "cooking" for the last month or so because we were going to use it in another tank, but we aren't going to get it after all. We have about 60lbs or so. There are a few big pieces but mostly medium size pieces. There were a couple pieces that were live, so it probably helped the dried out pieces grow some good bacteria. There are no pesky hitchhikers, so it will be safe to put in your tank.

    $1.50 per lb. Would like to sell it all together, but not necessary.

  7. My items from Reef Kingdom came in and I'm looking for advice. 6 polyps of Green Crystal Snowflake Cloves and 1 head of Blastomussa Merletti. Acclimated and added to the tank Wed night and neither shows any signs of opening. I placed the cloves at the bottom on the sand in moderate flow and light. I can see the cloves but they aren't opened. The blasto still looks like a chunk of rock with a bright green center, but not seeing any real polyp extension on it. I had it on the sand for the first day, moved it higher up on my LR last night.

    Any advice on how to encourage these guys to open? Everything else in the tank is open and happy.

    We got those same blastos from the first group order and they opened up after a day or two. We've had blastos before, so we kind of knew where they like it in the tank. We have ours about 2 feet down from the light but in direct light, no shadowing. They also like a good amount of flow. Give it a couple of days, especially since you've been moving them around. As for the clove polyps, I would assume that they are a cross between zoas and xenia. When we first got our xenia, it stayed closed for several days before it started showing any signs of opening. Again, just give it a couple of days. If you see them start to melt, then you should worry.

    Both of these, in our experience, require decent flow, direct lighting with a position in the bottom half of the tank to be happy. Best of luck.

  8. **** that's a nice list.

    Can I claim first on your list when you wanna sell off some Darth Maul polyps? :D

    I'll try to remember to hold one for you. Hopefully they will grow well in my tank and I'll be able to offer some frags for sale in a couple of months. Just send me a reminder ever so often if you haven't seen me post them yet.
