  1. Nice Favia and Acans! I love those green ones!
  2. Where are you located? Almost looks like it might be a really browned out tricolor with the purple tips?? That piece in its current conditions would probably sell for about $50ish give or take at the TPA. That's my rough guess at lease Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. lets see a pic! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Welcome to the forum! Looking forward to the build, I'm also in the salem area. It's good to see people in this area popping up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Snap seed is what I use. It works pretty well at removing the blue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. My father just bought one too!!! Hopefully they work well lol! We just need to pick up his battery is all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I will be bring the salem crew their frags next Thursday! I'll drop them off at TPA shortly after they open! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Picked up a new anemone the other day! She is a beauty, teal body with orange tentacles. First picture is in my tank and the second is in the tank it came from Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Oh man! I didn't think about having to protect these frags from the Black Friday coral crazed people! I may have to bring the frags on a later date that won't be so hectic for the shop. I'll touch base with Bert and let you guys know! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I agree that the two kessils would be a really good option. If your looking to get a single unit, the ocean revive that Brian mentioned would be a good choice. I run two of those above my frag tank and they grow SPS very well! Not sure what their effective coverage is but I have mine on a 48x30x12 tank and they light it up pretty well. They also make two models. One with a built in timer and one without. The model with the timer(T247) is $199 and the normal model(S026) is $137 on their website right now. Jeff at C&C has them from time to time. He could probably order you one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Dang, a little too far. Nice corals though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Location? I may be interested in the bleeding Apple. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Well came home from college to check on my frag tank and discovered that my lights have been on for the past few days all day...... When I left I forgot to set them back on auto so they have been running non stop. Needless to say I came home to a bunch of algae in my tank and some unhappy corals..... So far haven't lost anything (fingers crossed) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. I've got a pair of you're interested. Shoot me a PM. They are just the normal/common ones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. If you've got more nightmare frags, put me down! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. no, they are in a wide 75 gallon frag tank for now. Those hydro trays make nice propagation systems though! Might get one in the future when I've got more anemones Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. thank you! I keep my parameters very similar to that of SPS with a few exceptions. Nitrate, nitrite, phosphates and ammonia all read 0. My calcium sits at about 470ppm and my alk is at 9 dKh. I also keep my salinity at 1.025. I try to run the system as clean as possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I have always had a love for anemones but never owned one for fear that they would sting my SPS. So I've decided to set up and anemone propagation system! Right now I'm just collecting a few different varieties of Bubble Tip Anemones. So far I've got 3 RBTAs that bible up wonderfully and two that almost never bubble up (they've got a mind of their own) and today I picked up 8 rainbow BTAs and they are gorgeous!.My plan is to sell them to local reefers such as yourselves and also to try and supply the LFS to help cut back on anemones harvested from the ocean. Right now I'm feeding the anemones every three days. They are very spoiled, and get salmon for their dinner. went fishing this fall and saved lots of the extra salmon "scraps" for my anemones. Right now I'm sitting at 13 anemones and plan to cut about half of them in a month or two depending on size. Unless they decide to split on their own from feeding them so much Now for the part you guys actually like, here some pics of the nems! They look orange but are a dark red in person! The new Rainbow BTAs! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Hate to be that guy but I'm pretty sure you have to list prices otherwise the mods will close this. Just a heads up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Thank you for moving it over to private conversation Salty Pickle. If the mods could close this thread that would be awesome. Most of the zoas are sold. Hopefully I'll have more in a few weeks/months Thanks everyone again!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. If you make a drop at TPA let me know! Otherwise I can swing by your house to grab it one of these days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Salty Pickle, I can guarantee you that the zoas I sold you are Green Bay Packers. I bought them off of a very well respected zoas expert on this forum as Green Bay packers. The Green Bay Packers that I sold you do not have a defined orange polyp spot in the center, this is probably the reason most people are doubting their authenticity. They have slightly morphed in my system and that caused them to loose that bright orange spot. That is one of the reasons I have a macro shot of the zoa polyp so you can see the features of it. this picture is a zoomed in picture of the exact frag you received. as you can see, if you look closely at the center of the polyp you will see the faded orange center. Also on Green Bay packer zoas the bright green on the skirts starts about half way down each tentacle. As you can see on my zoas the bright green starts half way up the tentacle. The body of Green Bay packers is a greenish blue, same as my polyps. The frags that you received are indeed Green Bay Packers, they are just a little faded with you were able to see in the original picture. Their orange spot is just not very prominent. My goal was not to mislead anyone, that is why I posted a picture of the actual zoas. There are many morphs of zoas, they look slightly different, but their name is still the same. If I did not know the name of a zoa I would have listed it as an Unknow which is what I did for a couple different zoas on my sale list. This thread was also viewed about 500 times if I recall correctly and I imagine some zoas experts looked at the sale thread. There are many many of those zoas experts apart of our community such as MrBret, Softy, TheClark, Sasquatch and more. I would hope that if I had mistakenly advertised the wrong zoa that one of them would have called me out on it and let know know I was wrong. Furthermore, I do not appreciate you trying to publicly shame me without contacting me first to talk about the issue. This is something that could have been solved privately.

  23. Thank you for the info! I actually have a green laser like that! I guess I'll have to run an experiment and see if it works! I'll let you guys know how it goes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. My dad keeps thinking about getting one to take care of his majanos but the price tag always stops him. I'm really hoping someone on the forum has one that they would rent out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. It's crazy how a laser does that much damage. Have you ever seen one work in person? I think it would be so fun to "hunt" the majanos and watch them burn haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
