I have several things filling my frag from a tank breakdown...

green star polyps

pulsing xenia on rocks

green leathers on medium pieces of rock

few different zoanthids on rock

orange capricornus

cabbage leathers

Nothing more than $20, most $10 or less.

Also willing to trade for zoanthids of varying colors

Double post

Great looking tank Googs. Nice variety of corals and love the aquascaping with the cave and all. Adds a lot of depth to the tank, Super job!

I contacted the company and described my problem, as I had in the post from earlier today, and received the following reply:

I am sorry to hear of this issue. We have had a issue with one batch of rocks we made last winter. Apparently they did not cure properly and a few customers like yourself experienced a similar problem. We did some analysis and discovered the problem that will prevent this in the future. Please be rest assured that the crumbling rocks will not hurt your reef or inhabitants at all. Please let me know what you ordered and we will replace them right away. I personally have not had this problem with any of the Rock-mags in both of my reef tanks, some rocks are now over 4 years old. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you.

Best regards

Jim @ Aqua-mags

I would suggest that anybody else who has experienced this problem should get in touch as Jim appears to be very service oriented and seems to be very helpful.

His e-mail address is: supportaquamags@gmail.com

Just a quick question for those who bought these aquamags...Did anybody elses start to disintegrate in their tanks? I placed mine fairly high up on my 24" high side wall and yesterday while doing some routine maintenance, I bumped one of the two magnets and it fell off. As I tried to reattach it, I looked in the tank and saw that the frag rock had cracked in half and fell to the bottom of the tank (with my corals on it (flame)).

Naturally, I reached into the tank to recover it and it practically feel apart in my hands. The pieces just fell away from the body such that there's no way I'm putting it back into my tank. The other half still sits on the wall of my tank, but I'm going to pull it out tonight before it falls and lands on other corals.

So, has anybody else had this happen to them?

Thanks,

Mark

Here's pics of my unhappy little campers. Sorry for the poor quality photos. It's got 11 polyps with several nubs. Not a particularly strong entry...lol(laugh)

Thanks for the contest all. I enjoyed the fact that I made it to the end.

Mark

i'm still in (with no shot at competing) with just 11/12 polyps, but won't be able to post pics until later today or tomorrow.

10 polyps and three or four nubs. Just waiting to blossom over the next month:

Please excuse the crappy cel phone pictures. I had to use it to radiate my polyps with the hopes of stimulating growth...(laugh)

Gawf4fun contest update for April 4th

I lost one of my original polyps when I put it into my 180 gallon tanks so I started with 4. My 180 has mega flow, so based on reported losses by others, I've transferred my contest entry to my office aquapod. Specs for the new tank: 24 gallon with Tunze Doc 9002 skimmer, 150 watt Coralife pendant with SPS 20k bulb and Tunze 6025 powerhead. Pics:

I wish everybody luck in a) keeping their polyps attached and b) multiplying (clap)

I like the tank and 18 watt light
