Thank you, I’ll only buy frags these days (honestly! Lol)It's looking fantastic. Still room for three Royal Grammas, two Blue Throated Triggers and some Wrasse though It's good to see you going down the frag route.
Lol!Ha, ha, we're a couple of amateurs aren't we My GSP looks like the whiff of fluff on a kids face when he first tries to grow a beard. I've pushed my Phos up to 0.04ppm the last few months, just as a sort of test/experiment, and it changed nothing ! Even my Leathers just sort of exist. There is no real growth there either.
Everything else is blooming, but these so-called easy to grow corals just don't want to play. I've even tried target feeding the GSP with ReefRoids in an futile attempt to make it grow.Lol!
I’ve even been looking at it to make sure it’s actually GSP because I’m rubbish at coral ID!
I know I actually don’t understand it, because I used to have loads of it growing out of control in the S650 while I was learning I guess, but now it’s just won’t extend to look like the flowing grass.Everything else is blooming, but these so-called easy to grow corals just don't want to play.

I love these fish. They are the best for keeping the sand clean. They are one of those essential fish you must have as part of the community as they have a job to do. It's the same with a Cleaner Wrasse and a Filefish. The Filefish always looks as though he is moving in slow motion, but his nearly invisible fins are going faster than the SpaceX rocket when it's launched !This little fellow keeps the sand spotless in the new tank, despite trying to rearrange we’re Ive put it!

Yep, they are based in France and I got my four Lyretail Anthias from them. They are all still alive more than two years later. I also bought some coral frags from them and I had some mixed results with these frags. I hope you get a 100% success rate.Yes he certainly does a good job it’s spotless.
I’ve got about 10 coral frags coming today from my normal online supplier mail order corals who are very good. Infact they have just arrived.
I’ve been after a bit more variety of SPS than some of the local LFS’s have, so I’ve just ordered 4 very nice SPS from MasterFischUK as a test order. I believe their actually based in France but are one of the largest European suppliers so ‘hopefully’ will be ok.
We shall see anyway
Gotta love the way the Yellow Tangs stick together. I only have the two and they do the same.
Nice.I’ve been getting a bit fed up with the same old corals, in particular lack of some of the nicer SPS corals in the LFS’s, so I found Masterfisch, who are based in France with a UK office. I was a little nervous but ordered 4 SPS as a test order, and they arrived today.
It was actually interesting following their journey with UPS from France, to Germany then to Castle Donnington UK and then to me all within less than 24 hours. Very impressive.
I have to say the packaging was superb, all tightly packed in a custom made box and inside that an insulated box, which is nice enough to use to carry cold drinks in! Lol
The corals bags were thick and even had what looked like pieces of carbon inside to presumably absorb any toxins during the journey.
These corals are a descent size for frags, infact large, and we’re half the price you would pay in a shop. I do buy corals from the LFS’s but the vast majority of frags come from online in particular Mail Order Corals who I also use and are very good.
Anyway, I had a email yesterday from them about a 20% sale so I’ve just ordered another 7 SPS corals. What I really like is most of the corals are wysiwyg so you get that exact peace.
The first 3 pictures below show, just taken quickly with an iPhone, show the corals from Masterfisch and the bottom picture are the ones delivered last week from Mail Order Corals all acclimatising whilst I decide we’re they will live
