Daniel, wow! Great pics, and nice work on all the fagging.

lcstorc · 10-29-2007, 11:59 AM

EVerything looks great. I love the different colors and those reds are going to be spectacular.

Craig Manoukian · 10-29-2007, 12:02 PM

Stunning stuff!

tippMANn98 · 10-29-2007, 12:02 PM

I hope those reds are as spectacular as they look, I know the guy I got them from on ebay, he is good for it.....lynn, he is the guy here in FL, kinda by me, in Bartow, FL, free shipping to anywhere in FL off of his website: Elitereef.com Aquacultured sps, acropora, montipora, soft corals, lps, clams

lcstorc · 10-29-2007, 12:56 PM

Cool I'll have to keep him in mind.

More fragging....I am turning into a fragging fool! Here is what I did with the blue rics,Couldn't wait any longer, the small piece of rubble was stretching it and ripping the ric... Diagram #1(RED) Is a piece of rubble the bottom ric was still attached to, so If i cut, I would already have it on rubble and the other half will stay where it is....Diagram #2(Yellow) Is the actual cut line, I did it perfect, 2 halves of the mouth, right down the middle, now there are TWO! So what I will have available is ONE Blue Ric, or Green and Pink and slight Orange Rainbow Yuma, there are 2 frags, but I still want one of them. Any takers? nice blue rics...

If I could get one it would be SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Nice work Daniel!

BigAl07 · 10-30-2007, 09:20 AM

Where did you learn about the "frag+gravity" thing? I read about it a month or so ago and thought it was a GREAT idea. Apparently it tends to "motivate" the ric to frag itself and produces a fast healing frag. But you just got anxious and cut it

Nothing wrong with that.

Did you glue the rock to the piece hanging down? Super glue?

tippMANn98 · 10-30-2007, 09:26 AM

NO GLUE REQUIRED!!! The ric was attached to both pieces of LR, just cut down the middle....Haven't heard about frag by gravity, but thats what was happening....i saw it when I got home yesterday....$15 +shipping on the blues...

BigAl07 · 10-30-2007, 09:32 AM

That's cool buddy. What I read was where (worked with rics and shrooms) you end up gluing an edge of the ric to a loose piece of rubble and let it "dangle" freely about an inch or so above the substrate. Over a period of a couple of weeks the ric will voluntarily split itself into two very healthy new critters.

Looks great! wish I was ready I'd be all over that one but alas I am quickly running out of real estate.

Hey al, I was faced pushed against glass last night, and I saw something that caught my eye....its very small, and blue. I have come to the conclusion, that is a single polyp of the Blue Snowflakes. all by its self, if you look at my tank shot, its just to the right of the BIG Caribbean shroom on the right half, above the rics...too small to picture, I might be able to get a pic, but it is defanatley the blues!!!

BigAl07 · 10-30-2007, 10:22 AM

Man that's SWEET! Hopefully it's healthy enough to propser and become a whole colony. Then it would be ON again

Allen

PS If it does, let's frag it ASAP so that you have a part in My tank and one in yours

tippMANn98 · 10-30-2007, 10:22 AM

I'll try to get a pic of its...It makes me wonder, how it spread over there...and so forth

tippMANn98 · 10-30-2007, 10:55 AM

I just got my Red Micro Zoanthids in the mail, the ones I won on ebay, I'll get some pics when they get into the tank...so far, they look awesome....cant wait till they open, Ending up paying $36.52+$10shipping+FLtax+ $49.08 out the door, to my door...awesome price!

Melanie · 10-31-2007, 06:27 AM
