Kris Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Saw that another forum is doing a growout with MI Miami and I would like to get in on it. But I thought it would be cool for us on this forum to do it. So PM me and let me know if any of you would like to do this and we can discuss price and how many people we want in on this. There is a two eye frag for sale for a decent price or we can contact a Reputable shop. This would be a great way to get this coral for a good price. I have seen some of the last growout threads for you guys and would like to get one started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Biggest problem with chalice grow-outs is the slowness of the growth, depending on how many people you get involved, it could be 2 years or more before they all get a frag...That's why zoas are the preferred coral for grow-outs...They grow fast as opposed to most other corals...We, the members only grow-out participants, talked about getting chalices involved in that grow-out, because we were offered a pretty nice chalice pack for a pretty nice price, but ultimately decided, that due to the length of time we were looking at to recover our investment, it just wasn't worth it...And while I may be totally off on this, since I don't pay attention to chalice prices in general, is not the My Miami chalice a fairly expensive chalice? Thats one of the reason both of our members only grow-outs were so large was because of the price, and now, almost a year after the first one started, we are just now starting to see a return... Just some thoughts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanktop74 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 That is one freakin beautiful chalice! How much is it selling per eye?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I might be interested based on price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 That is one freakin beautiful chalice! How much is it selling per eye?? 500.00+ Me an another member went in a frag w/2 eyes-hopefully next week it shows. I agree with Mick, I would not do this with more than 2-3 people at most-IMO. only because it grows slow-I'll sell my first eye for say 400.00 (laugh) if you want to wait.(whistle) Sure better than the 1500.00 that ebay person paid bump bump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this was the same chalice... beautiful... but still not willing to pay that price $400 or $1000 per eye!!! Now if it was $400 for that whole coral in the picture I would be ALL over it!

Just some thoughts... With the amount of people I am thinking you would think it would be less than a year. I was just throwing this out there since I saw that other forum doing it. If we could do this for $100.00 or less per person that would be a good deal in my opinion. There are 3 people including me at this point that want in. I know that it might take awhile but I was thinking for that price people might be willing to wate a little time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 "its a fair;y fast grower.. i went from 1 to 5-6 eyes in about 2-3 months.. but i dont know about fragging them up into 5 eyes.. i would frag the big eyes off only and wait for the mature eyes to form before fragging them.. get me? and yes ill throw in another nice chalice too" This is a message I got from sexycorals about the MI Miami chalice. If anyone wants to get in on this let me know PM me. We will pick another person to grow out the other chalice. This would be a great chalice to have we would be able to trade a frag for any other chalice. And these frags have been going for over 500 on other forums. And all of these frags have been selling. Look it up on line shops have it posted for $1,000 + per eye. I would rather not do half the people from the other forum and half from this one. It would be nice to be just PNWMAS members.

Kris Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 I have heard mixed reviews about sexycorals and would advise checking with forum people in general regarding the growth of this chalice. Looking on the other forum people seem to like them. And like you all know it also depends on our tanks. The chalices that I got in my tank have been doing good I think. like the westside watermelon I have had for a couple months now started with I think 16 or 17 eyes and it now has 22 eyes and I have cut about 6 eyes off. And a frag of tyree alien eye watermelon I have had for about 1 1/2 months I think has about doubled in size and went from one to two eyes. I got that one from Rick Soutas and he said it is a very very slow grower. I know that is not crazy fast but it's not bad in my opinion.

Emerald525 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 No that's not bad growth at all and it all does just depend sometimes on the tank doesn't it. Target feeding seems to help. It's a beautiful chalice though. I just keep hoping that the price will eventually go down LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I feed them at night when the lights are off with there feelers are out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Yes, the best time is when the lights are out and the feelers are out. It does seem to help increase growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 The day I drop this kind of cash on a LE coral is the day I need to get out of the hobby. No name is worth that kind of dough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I will put this out there. If you guys are doing any sort of grow-out take a look at the recent grow-out zoa threads.
