markdadof2 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 A buddy of mine just called...due to certain circumstances his tank is now half torn down. He has a rock with a huge colony of 'Ice Blue' acro - with orange and pink cap on it...as well as one other coral (can't recall what). He wants to bring it to me tomorrow as he wants it to not die off. My only concern with this is my 60g is so new, but I have been testing parameters and the crab and mushrooms I tossed in for kicks are doing fine. I am going to try and save this rock with corals, but if things start to go south on me is there anyone I can count on to babysit (frags will be in the deal). He also has a huge pink birdsnest and a avery large ora tort (not sure what he is doing with the tort as it is attached to a big rock). I know, don't put anything in such a new tank...but I'd rather try to keep this stuff alive then have it die off in his half-running system. OK, done venting Quote
Lowman Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Mark, i sent you a PM. I have a big prop tank at home that is nearly empty. You are more than welcome to keep it there. Quote
markdadof2 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 Bob, thank you so much! I owe ya! I will have time to run and get the coral at work tomorrow (he is bringing in to work early) and then come home and do a quick acclimation and cleansing with Revive and drop it in the cube. I will keep an eye on it and may bring it to you when I come to visit Friday. Thanks! Quote
markdadof2 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 I had him send me a picture....here it is. Just want to make sure you have room Bob. Quote
Lowman Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I had him send me a picture....here it is. Just want to make sure you have room Bob. Dude, 5'x4' tank almost empty. I think there is room !!!! Quote
albertareef Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Cool piece. Glad you found someone who can babysit it Mark. Let me know if you guys accidently snap off a piece of that pink cap while you are moving it around (naughty) Quote
markdadof2 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 Eventually I will snap off a piece of that pink cap if you would like a frag...give it a few weeks and remind me please. On another note, the Ice blue Acro has some nice polyp extension this morning, and the color is holding true. I think it will be OK! Quote
albertareef Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Glad to hear it doing well Mark! Is this still in your cube? I'm surprised you could fit it in there - looks like a pretty big specimen. I would be interested to see a pic of that stag under lighting... sounds cool. Good luck with this piece! Quote
markdadof2 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 It is in the new 60 cube...not the nano cube so there is room!. I will try and get a picture of it that shows it's nice blue color, but must admit I am not a photographer! I still have room for plenty more corals in the future. Quote
markdadof2 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 I will try to get a better image when the halide comes on, but this illustrates the blue a little bit. It is fairly brilliant. Quote
albertareef Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Very nice... thanks Mark. That will make a great piece for the 60 (clap) Quote
R-3 Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Yeah when I first saw this I thought to myself "keep it for a sweet showpiece" and I am glad to see you did!! Quote
