I feel like you guys have become a second family to me. I thought it would be fun to get a little frag of something from each of my RS friends' tanks. I would of course pay! It would make for a nice story when people ask me about my reef and I would think of each person every time I looked at the tank. Plus you guys could see it develop.

What do you think? Wanna help?

Look, I have lots of room to fill!

bluespotjawfish · 09-12-2007, 09:16 PM

Sounds fun Melanie! I'm too far away to help out though.

Dentoid · 09-12-2007, 09:19 PM

I'm in! I'll get back to you after MACNA. Right now I'm trying to get ready for that.

vdituri · 09-12-2007, 09:22 PM

I could contribute a pulsing xenia or a black sun coral or a hairy mushroom.
You pick. lol.

framerguy · 09-12-2007, 09:24 PM

I'm in but I doubt I have anything you want. Look at the first page in the Akwar'eum cronicle to see and pm me. I'd attach a link but I don't know how, I just tried... sounds like a fun plan though.

DrHank · 09-12-2007, 09:29 PM

Melanie just about everything would have to be overnighted to you. That would be a lot of expense on your part. I appreciate the thought but I really think you should ask for pictures. You could make a folder for them and look at them whenever you like. You might want to start with the ones that have been posted already.

Your tank is doing wonderfully and will continue to get better as it ages. Try to learn as much as you can about balancing Ca, ALK, and MG. Those are the building blocks on which your corals grow. I know that it's scary at first but the reef calculator Reef Chemistry Calculator will help you do it. You might also want to look for a local reef club in your area for trading frags.

sasquatch · 09-12-2007, 10:28 PM

Like 80% of RS is in Florida, just drive around the block and fill it up! great idea I could send you some snow for x mass? steve

vdituri · 09-12-2007, 10:33 PM

Dang 80%? I thought we cut them off already?
Alright, no more floridians! I don't care if they DO help prevent tooth decay.

What? Did I misunderstand?

jubbers · 09-12-2007, 10:37 PM

Cool!

DrHank · 09-12-2007, 11:03 PM

Aw come on Steve you know darn well it's only 78%. Give us a break. The only snow we see is from our fish.

lcstorc · 09-12-2007, 11:19 PM

Hey Florida is a big state. We should have more FL members.
Take your pic from my tank pics. I'll frag whatever you like. Hopefully it will live long enough to send it,

prow · 09-12-2007, 11:49 PM

thats a great idea. if you dont mind paying the shipping i will donate a nice frag for ya.

DrHank · 09-13-2007, 04:34 AM

Count me in if you really want to do it.

Melanie · 09-13-2007, 06:16 AM

Yeah! This will be fun. Thanks everyone who has offered to help.

I know how expensive it will be for overnight shpping. I'm going to do one at a time and I have a discount with Fed Ex for priority overnight shipping. It's really reasonable for me to use my account.

Lorraine, it's still the same time from Utah!

Guaranteed delivery by 10 AM the next morning.

So, I'm thinking about how this could work....hhhmmmmmm. I could print the Fed Ex label and mail it in a regular envelope. Or if my buddy didn't have the little styrofoam cooler, I saved one from my liveaquaria order (and the ice packs!) I could mail that and then all you would have to do is refreeze the ice pack and pop it in.

This could work! Lynn, I'll get one from you personally when I deliver your TMPR salt after MACNA.
