That first one looks kinda like a red planet, also the chalice was a nice score!

I rarely rarley take in wild corals but last night a friend of mine got a wild acropora gomezi with baby blue polyps. So subsequently we all pitched in for the purchace price and we cut it into 4 mini colonies. So I am making a coloration log for this coral i am going to increase my amino acid dosing to help with is coloration. So here we go





So what do you guys think

I have had a very interesting day, today out of the blue a old reef friend called me and told me that he was breaking his tank down. So he asked me if i would like some of his nicest chalice's he wasn't a big sps collector. I ended up with four chalice colonies and trust me they are the highest of the high when i comes to chalices.Juicy Fruit Chalice (brians name for it), ATL Cherry Jubilee Chalice and TWO Bazooka Joe frag with at least 4 eyes on each

Heres the

Juicy Fruit Chalice pic 1


pic 2 the light really play with how the color looks


unfortunately the light went off in my tank before i go get a good pic of the other three chalices


thanks for looking

Some nice color on that one!

let down of the century!

nice JuicyFruit colony tho....es muay awesome!

Well here you guys go so no more let down

ATL Cherry Jubilee Chalice



Bazooka Joe's ( they are both healing after brian had a little mishap a month ago)



Are you happy now!!

I don't know 'bout him... But I sure as hell am!!!

Those are amazing additions!!!

scotty,

i don't know how to find room to store all them corals. i got corals sitting on each other atm

thanks there partner i will be doing some chalice fragging soon after they stablize since i need to recoupe some of the price i paid for them to fund my coral cutting band saw



I have the same problem but to be honest i trade any of my corals for a better one. I know that sounds cold but its coral not a kid lol . Sam any time you want to do a trade i am always willing

NICE.

well i am going to be changing out a few corals pretty soon so those in the sacramento area hit me up and you might just end up with a rare or hard to find coral for a real good price.


since i want to keep track of the coloration of this gomezi here is a week two pic ( not much has changes)




also i am looking to trade this bazooka joe chalice so post what you got for tradez ( this is a very highly prized coral so only really cool stuff please and it the whole frag not just one tiny eye)

i want some sps....

well wait a little bit and i will have sum up for sale. Head down to aqualife a lot of my frags and grow out head over there since doug and linda treat me very well down there quite a few of my corals are chilling in there 300g display

thanks for the hedz up....

You should head up to Yakima sooner haha

I will be there on saturday but i am flying from sacramento Int to Portland so i can brig corals though. I am comming up to washington for thanksgiving and i am going to visit my bro in yakima

Wait so you can or can't? Also, don't go to any of the LFS here. They suck. Also they hate me haha.

I really can't last time i tried to pack coral they called me at the terminal and my buddy had to pick them up after they found them in my bag

Haha dang. Wait so even in your checked baggage (not carry on, whatever it is called) they stopped you? Thats weird.

Yup thats the gist so i havent done it since. I know of other people who have pulled it off successfully but not me

Darn lol. Ya I brought lizards back from Hawaii, I guess that was pre-911. Stuff still gets through, I went to New Orleans and found my leatherman in my backpack mid flight haha.

Be a rebel, try it try it.

We will se there buddy boy.

I am soooo stoked this is the coral that i am getting from NR/R2R member "ianiwane"

Eddie's Purple Monster ( This is Ian's picture)


this is a retired Tyree LE after his died. I have been on the look out for years for this guy!!!!

Whoa awesome colors on that one!

your right she is a beautiful piece i m hoping on getting a couple other things from him too mainly being a mummy eye chalice and a 20k lokani

ohh...

tahts a good one!

I got a couple new pieces sent to me right before i left for my flight today from John "Tubs" Susbilla i traded him a frag of my 30k lokani and a piece of my juicy fruit chalice

I got a coral that kicks a Ice Fire Echinata butt ( in my opinion)

Solar Flare Echinata ( it gets blue tips!!!!)


Blood Red Eyes Cyphastrea (sweet!!!)


Happy Thanksgiving everyone be safe and God Bless

Scott

Nice new additions!

So your gonna be in Yakima tomorrow?

aah bad news i had to fly back this morning because of business i HATE cutting my plans short my!!! sorry Jac i wish i was back up there

Dang thats a bummer

You still had some turkey right haha?

oh yeah thanks giving was great they called me yesterday morning so today i flew out first class since coach was sold out so YEAH. i got back to sacramento around 7:45am and i still got to hit up the black friday sales around here too i wil post what i got later

Ohh nice, thats the best way to fly haha, you are lucky.

Hmm new stuff eh? Your tank is getting pretty full you might have to send some stuff off to make room

Well I have been sick as a dog most of the weekend but before i got sick i picked up three frags from my friend Tim ( he has the sickest tank in all of sacramento hands down). Since time is old school there are no names and and he pretty much gave them to me since i bought a pizza and beer so here they are





they still need to color up a bit since they where in his frag system and he uses only a reefulx 12k

HOLY.GOD.

Thanks mike your funny

Whats the one in the middle I like it.

Wow. Your collection is just insane.

Thanks pismo haha, the pics were distracting

Scoooott>?

yo scotty,

my friend is trying to get a hold of you on MARS. check your pm

Sh*t, if you wanna get ahold a scott, leev him a message @ Aqualife....




j/k... dont do it.

read that you were getting the 50g Cad tank -- i'd love to see what you do with it - post on the cad owner's club thread when you've got it up and running!

(by the way, i have had pretty good results from the bubble-magus skimmer -- having said that, i have also read that others haven't been as pleased. that being said, for the price, hard to beat the bubble-magus)

Well i havent been around much lately but today i scored some major finds as zoas/palys go. I have some pretty good friends in the trade and i got a call on some really nice wild zoas that came in and i thought ok what ever. But when i got there these where the ones in question this is only about 25% off of each colony but you get the picture ( my other reef friends took the others)

a close up

the mini colony



this mini colony as about 12 bright zoas on it but since i just got them home they all havent opened up yet


a small frag of the colony


I really think these guys will fatten up in the comming weeks so who knows what they will turn out

Scott

Welcome back haha!

WOW those new zoas are amazing! Nice score! Did you get any of those blue and white ones in the first pic?

i have both colonies the only reason that theres a frag of the orange one was they fell off when i broke the rock up they came on

Oh cool cool. Hows the tank doing? Got an updated FTS ?

And those zoa are awesome! I wonder if they have a trade name or if you got another no name coral lol.

scott doesnt take fts',
because it would look like the end result of a tie-dye paintball war in a bluedawn...
*breathes.

hahaha very well stated there mike. Uh I'll take one soon lol
