jgf86123 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 hey guys im just trying to gauge some interest here on an order im planning on making with vivid aquariums for zoas. with me putting this frag/grow out tank build together, im hoping to start fragging by the first of the year, and im just trying to gauge some interest on zoas i plan on stocking. these are the initial frags im picking up from vivid, feel free to check them out, and i will tell you all right now that all my frags are going to vary between 10 and 20 bucks per frag, with anywhere from 3-10 polyps per frag. i dont care if ive paid 40 bucks a polyp for a zoa, i will not charge more than 5 bucks a polyp for any zoa i intend to be growing. so, without further ado, here's the list: Joker Palys Blue Armor Palys Cherry Bomb Zoas Cosmic Zoolander Palys Pink Lemonade Palys Hulk Zoanthids Green Button Polyps Real Blue and Purple Hornets-i know a guy who got them directly from the original owner Vivid Nightmare Palys-these will probably be on a second order Rainbow Palys Mohawk Palys now, this isnt the complete list, but, i just wanted to give you guys a taste of what i will be growing out let me know if you see anything in vivids polyp section, their zoas and clove polyps and what not, and ill see if i cant pick them up while im at it. thanks all either pm me or post here, makes no nevermind to me, and if this is the wrong forum, i do apologize and will gladly move it. thanks again mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcoralfarm Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 You know, a lot of these if not all of them can be supplied by local sellers for much less the cost. Most all of the paly's and zoo's appear to be completely blasted with actinic lighting on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayTheSavageFraser Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I would love some joker and rainbow! Woooohoooo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 you got it clay, once i get these an start em growing, you'll be first on the list, and those prices are firm, i refuse to charge what everyone else does for the higher end zoas, i figure it might take me longer to pay for my order, but, everyone deserves a shot at owning these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefboy Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 This belongs in WTB thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefboy Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 this is not a selling thread so if your buying then guaging interest to sell then it belongs in the WTB thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 if im buying then planning on growing to sell, why does it belong in the WTB section? by your inference, wouldnt it thus belong in the classified thread? if thats the case, will a mod please move this thread to the classified section.

jgf86123 Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 thanks man, i just figured it ridiculous the prices on the higher end zoas, and figured what the hay, buy em, grow em out, frag em up, and sell them for prices that the average joe can afford, if i break even, great, if i dont, well, my gf wont be so happy lol but im pretty sure i can at least pay to keep my tanks up and running, and thats all either of us really wants, a way to make the tanks pay for themselves, even if thats all they do lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 If you want you could let them know I sent you....you might get a discount. Not sure. I have spent thousands with them in the past....but I used to live right down the street too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 then maybe you could answer a question for me, do you happen to know what kind of lights they have over their zoa frag tanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Depends on which tank you are getting from. For the most part they are 400w 20k's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 wooof, thats a load off my mind, since im getting a 400w from rick lol i didnt want to differ too much from what they use, since they seem to get such great growth from their lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 well....the 20's bring the "vivid" color....I am not sure they grow them out under 20k's but maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 You can always ask them if you call. Just ask for Sean or Jack....anyone can help you but those are my preferred 2 to speak to there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwcoralfarm Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 You will for sure get the best color from that, however I have always known zoo's to reproduce best under florescent lighting. However I am running a 400w 20k over my zoo system as well, just cause that is what I had. I do get good growth, I think the water parameters are more important though.

CA2OR Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Just curious...have you checked with Totally Exotic Corals? You could also try Davy Jones Locker, Isaac (coralmafia, Westside Aquariums, Rose City Aquariums...all those are nice too. I would definately check out TEC and Isaac. I could have sworn I just posted this(scratch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
