LoL ... the price was for a small frag wink.gif ... Maybe I can get some people and we can split it up a bit ... I think it's a 4 inch piece they usually sell ... It's a beautiful piece of coral ... well worth the investment biggrin.gif

I saw those!!! They are hot!!! Acans are awesome! Truth be told ... I am getting the colony for free. biggrin.gif A nice acan patch in the middle of the tank would look REALLY REALLY hot! I left a huge portion of sandbed for some sort of collection ... lol. Man we need to go to NYAS sometime soon!

That's it I am going to test your waters for anabolic steroids ... you must be juicing your tank! wink.gif ... I need to figure out a way to get to Mshur's home I want some of that Red Tabling Acro!

+1 ... no guarantees after this wink.gif ... Don't want to have to RIP it from my rocks ... I am doing what's in the best interest of the corals. biggrin.gif

On a side not ... I am going with Live Sand in the fuge ... but I am going to try mixing it with some Fiji Mud ...
DCG1286
Any of the SPS that browned out on me during the transfer have already begun to color up again ... and I am getting EXCELLENT PE from some of them ... wooohooo!

Got my refugium back on-line ... I threw away my chaeto and the sh!t that was down there after it was stagnant for about 1 week ... my bad ... whatever ... if anyone has a bag of chaeto they could give me or ship to me it would be much appreciated!!! biggrin.gif

LMAO!!! biggrin.gif Maybe I am wink.gif ... I have been getting home late these days ... haven't gotten a chance to snap a pic ... My corals are coming back full force these days ... not being home working on the tank sticking my hands in is probably helping ... lol ... I need to snap some shots of these chalices ... they are all turning different colors!!! It's amazing!!!

Redid my fuge tonight ... added some Fiji Mud to it ... mucked up my water quite a bit ... lol ... but it should clear soon enough ... Got a shipment of Brightwell Aquatics supplements from Aquacave.com today ... good stuff ... trying their Phytoplankton ... and I got my hands on some of the MicroBater7 (MB7) ... started dosing that stuff tonight. So let's see what happens! biggrin.gif

Why yes they are pair of Bellus Angels ... I got them locally from a fellow reefer ... I have had them since March or so ... My favorite fish in the aquarium that's for sure! I have seen some around the LFS lately ... but they never look very good!

LMAO ... thank you very much Anne wink.gif

Still trying to sell this 90G ... sheesh ... MR is not happening ... those guys are getting ridiculously cheap (or not realizing how big a 90G is ... it's a 4ft tank ... we all know this by this point ... I had some dude selling his 90G trying to size his tank up to mine ... sending me pm's asking if I was selling with the livestock cause that's what he was doing etc.etc. ... what a dumba$$ ... and of course in MR fashion ... had cr@ppy lights (not meant for reef keeping) livestock not meant for a 90G ... LR I would cook, freeze, take a flamethrower to and then send to a lab for tests before sticking it into my tank ... That's what MR is coming to at this point ... geez ... bunch of busybodies.

looking good darling

time to fill 'er up...my index finger is feeling rather restless these days (add to cart) biggrin.gif

Oh, man, I'm sorry the sale is going slowly. sad.gif Have you listed on Craigslist? MR is odd, no doubt. huh.gif

If only it were a little shorter, and shallower; and my bank account a little fuller... wink.gif

It does look good, Sakura, I agree. biggrin.gif I can also relate to that itching-to-shop-but-I-know-I-can't/shouldn't feeling. tongue.gif


******Look in the WTB section of MR, there's someone looking for a 65g and up to 90g, fully loaded--sounds like your buyer. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Craigslist ... been trying ... but same thing ... they get over here ... see how big it is and then get whipped around by their wives on how big it is ... lol ... whatever.

I just saw that WTB ad ... sounds like a real winner ... probably wants a Deltec Skimmer for his complete set up with $450-500 cash he has ... the arrogance on that website amuses me ... lol ... Like the ones that want these collector corals but don't want to pay the same amount everyone else does ... somehow they are exempt from paying and should just be given them. Blows my mind ... lol. Please note I do actually like MR ... just recently a whole bunch of nOObs joining and trying to set up a tank for nothing ... just bugs me.

Bellus Angels are a favorite fish of mine too, but it will be awhile before I have a tank big enough. I have seen a few females here and online but no males lately.

I haven't seen too many males either and the ones I did ... looked like absolute cr@p.

Just walked past the tank ... Mandarins are doing the mating dance again wink.gif
