    dee77 I found some really bad pictures you just have to look close at the first one you will see the blue slimer. He was in the tank for a few months when the first pic was taken.

  3. Rick, way cool thanks for bringing the pics up, some day I will learn how to do that.

    Grassi & reef165, thanks for the kind words.

    dee77, I have never been very good at documenting things in my tank the animals kinda go in & do their thing. I will try to find a earlier pic but I lost most pictures in 2 computer crashes, some pictures survived on chips though.

    Beckie, When we got this coral from Rick it was like 4" or 5" tall and 2" to 3" wide with several little branches. I think we got it spring of 1997. In the last year it has turned into a monster because I stooped snipping branches off it.

  4. THanks Emerald525, I wish I knew how to post it so the pic is on screen when the thread is opened.

    ReeFit, that giant colony had about 5" at the bottom that had died off due to shading so I cut it off but left about an 1" & epoxied the whole colony back where it came from. I did cut off about 8 small colonies from that monster.

  5. [/ATTACH]Look at this thing, we got it as a tiny colony about 3 1/2 years ago from Rick Souta. At the time he thought it to ba a slimer & it is blue, so blue slimer it must be. I knocked it off its rocker & was forced to pull it out & do some much needed trimming. The very left SPS in the second pic is the same coral.

  6. My vet stopped in at my house looked at my tank & said yep, those look like red bugs. I gave him information that is avail. in these forums to rid your reef of the pests. The Dr. was amazed at the reef, had me sign waivers then prescribed the treatment. I ordered from petmeds.com & they have stayed in touch with me regarding the effectiveness of the treatment. I am guessing it will not be long before we can get this stuff for a reef. My tank had no losses (not even the shrimp) from treatment. They do sell the active ingredient at the Grange Co-op, however I do not have a scale to measure the drug.

  7. I have not been to the Nano Reef "yet" but do look forward to it on our next northern trip.

    There are many great stores up there & now it sounds like there is " 1 more".

    Business fears business rivals & the idea of a MAP rule calms the nerves. Some go as far to say it is price fixing, & in reality it sorta is. Business = stress period, some can handle more than others. Sounds like Nano reef is in the squeeze & dealing with the pressure just fine. My hat is off to any person who has the courage to try opening- starting a business, today, tomorrow or yesterday. JMO

  8. Thanks Jody for the great corals, that blue prostrata is amazing. Your generosity of offering BONUS frags is unparalleled, not to mention your patience as I was many hours behind, you still took the time to share your knowledge & reefing wisdom. I look forward to seeing you again. Thanks again... Chris
