Can you remove the rock? If so your best bet is to scrub the GSP with a brush under hot tap water. I've successfully killed zoas, mushrooms, unwanted montis, acros, gsp and pug dogs using this method.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

The 5 yr thing sounds like another one of those urban legends (or should I say reef legends) without a shred of scientific fact. Dale has been running 400's for a long time, as I have for for almost 3 yrs. I plan to continnue as long as I can afford my electric bill. If you decide to change over, let me know. I might be interested in the bulbs and ballasts.

Thats who I made the reference to in my 1st post You gotta love Dale's tank (and new tank)!!!

It doesn't seem likely that a tank of 5 years would crash because of stronger lighting. One of the tanks here in Austin (also a member here) that I find to be the best has been using 400w MHs for 5 years+ and have actually had to tear down because he got TOO MUCH growth and the tank was doing so well he couldn't keep up. Luckily he started back and his tank is still my favorite.

he might have it, but he doesn't have THAT one...the one pictured...its worth more because the phosphates in the tank are lower....

I think thats where he got his frag from. I'm confused!

Clint already has it... I want it... I'm gonna get you Mark!

Looking good! I love LEDs and want to get some for myself!

Sorry to hear about your father. I hope he makes a speedy recovery!

brooks, the chalice is in the bottom left corner of the last pic, il get a pic of just the chalice tomorow when the lights come back on.

Sweet! What color eyes does it have?

I know, it sucks.....

il try and get a pic of it for ya.

Hopefully it is just temporary, though!

And thanks!

Sad to see you have to tear down!

If you could get a picture of the Orange Chalice I'd love to see it.

Welcome to ARC!

Welcome!

Got any pictures of the tank ?

don't forget losses as well, taxes, business formation costs, website, marketing, sponsoring ARC, etc.

Always pushing eh?

quit making excuses brooks...if you had a red carpet, your tank would be cooler than clint's.

False! The only way my tank would look cooler than Clint's is if I made everyone do acid before they looked at it.

The reason I was asking is I'm getting prices for anemones and feather dusters fome indoneisia. An I have to buy a minimum of 220.50 lb for them to ship any thing. But Im planing on starting a busniss of anemones and corals, featherdusters. But no fish just starting out and I love anemones and have 2 right now but want more.

220.50 lbs? What ya' planning on getting me!?!

the carpet would go with your acans and chalices...quit being cheap and get some ULTRA rare stuff!

Psssh! I bet the carpet would enjoy annihilating all my purdy... everything.

Brooks needs a red carpet.

About as much as I need to have Zoanthids for dinner.

I might get a few eventuly but I don't have a big tank to hold them in right now. Well I have a 55g in my garage and a t-5 but it's not enuff light for them. So I'm looking to get some Hms soon too.

They can be tricky (as you know). But I'd love to see how you keep them! I think the little guys are a spectacular species. If you decide to upgrade and keep the Carpet 'Nems, post pictures!!

Ok so who would buy a $400 anemone?

I think the most common answer you'll get would be "Not me." Anemones are hard to care for, carpet Anemones in particular have a record for being very touchy specimens. Many would find the risk too high to purchase one.

As for me? I wouldn't.

Check YouTube. You basically cut it in half and hope it doesn't die.

I think it's a fair price. My primary concern is finding a home where he will be super ecstatic. Maybe a clown buddy, etc...

That price surpasses fair!

I hope his new home will be great!

WOW! That is the best deal on a 'Nem you'll ever see.

Sweet! Send me a PM Mitch

I broke off a piece of this colony that is about 2" with 2 branches.

And it was the part that was growing well >

$25 takes it.
