sharoleb Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 No worries, these things happen. To be perfectly honest, I would be willing to pitch in for a new colony. I think we all are very aware that corals can be unpredictable and things die for (seemingly) no reason, and it's a risk we all took. I have no ill will toward this grow out, because you are keeping everyone up to date on what's happening (unlike the other GOC that prompted you to start this one LOL). Thanks so much for doing all of this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 agree, I don't think you should have to pay for another colony out of your own pocket Jesse. It's like punishing the person who took the initiative to do another growout. I would be willing to buy in again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefSafari Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'd be willing to buy the peice of rock that the colony was on, are there any left on the colony rock? If there are a couple left on the rock, would buy the rock to help fund the new colony...just throwing that out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohaynow Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 +1 to a re-buy, I am sure that we could find another decent colony for a decent price. C'mon sponsors, its time to support the habbits of those that support you (not that you don't hook us all up on a regular basis) If you need some extra fundage for another colony, I would be more than happy to contribute.

NoobtoSalt Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks you guys. I will keep you posted on my findings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Alright I'm going to bring back what I have left of the colony to the shop and give it a few days to see if it might have been something with my tank. If they seem to do well I've got the ok from Robert to frag them at their shop and allow them to heal there. I will know more early next week as to what the plan is. I really appreciate everyone's comments about chipping in more. I really feel awful about loosing the first round of frags and I will do what I can to make it up to the group. Thanks again for understanding that reefin' ain't easy...(laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 what's left of the colony is back at OIAB. Robert tested my water and it was the same basic test I got at home as well. Not sure why they don't like my tank but were going to give it a few days before we decide what is going to happen from here. I will keep everyone posted.

NoobtoSalt Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Alright so we will be getting a new colony and I think 3 polyps per frag plug will work better this time around I hope. I also updated the first page to show the pictures of the prizes that Jody from TECO is sending up this coming week!! Thanks again to all of you for being patient on getting this going. And a big thanks to Robert. He is going to frag them for us at the shop so it will be less stressful this time around. I will post a new update when I get more information on it.
