twelve volt pro Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Package arrived, and wow, great job!! By far the best job packing I have ever seen from a fellow reefer. The frags are in and look great. I ran out of frag plugs, so most are just sitting on my frag rack till I can get to the LFS a little later this afternoon. Thanks again!!!!!! Link to comment

TriggerHappyDude Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Sorry, just ran out of Purple Digi but have the following still available: Green Slimer Blue Stag Blue Mille Neon Green Stylo Tubbs Birds Nest Pocillopora some Acro 1 and Acro 2 Calvin, I'm going to look up photos of what these are and give you a list of what I want! I'm in desperate need of some new frags and I'm a beginner! My tank needs color besides coraline algae! Link to comment
nemmy Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Ok just acro 1 and acro 2 i guess for me this time PM me the cost and your paypal address again. I will send the money sometime saturday-sunday. Link to comment
calvin415 Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Thanks Mark, sorry about USPS, they are usually a bit more gentle... At least the Birds Nest is the fastest grower of the bunch, you should have lots more branches in a month or less. PM's sent/returned... Link to comment
TriggerHappyDude Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Since I'm fairly new to frags, how do you acclimate these when they arrive? Also, I'm going to test my water for the "reef" parameters, does this sound about right? CALCIUM (Ca)Another important mineral for your tank is calcium, at a level of 400-500ppm, which can be achieved by adding calcium supplements MAGNESIUM (Mg) Another important mineral for tank health, proper magnesium levels of 1200mg/L can be reached with epsom salts. For a 55-gallon tank, 90.8 grams should be added gradually over the course of 7-8 days. PHOSPHATES (PO4) Phosphate is one of the top trace elements in natural seawater, and of course, your ultimate goal is to re-create the normal environment of your reef and its inhabitants. A proper level is 0.05ppm. Use a reliable test kit to check your water. Phosphates are often found in foods, activated charcoal, and buffers, so your problem will be lowering levels, not increasing them. Use a limewater or kalkwasser solution to lower harmful levels, or try a commercial product like Coralife’s phosphate remover or Kent Marine’s phosphate sponge. Link to comment
calvin415 Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Best acclimation for SPS is no acclimation. Just take them out of the cup and glue them to rubble, rock, or frag plug and place them in an area with good light and medium flow. Based on pH of 8.4 you want Ca levels at 450 ppm, Alk at 4.0 meq/L and Mg at 1350-1400ppm, if you have lower pH (say 8.1-8.2) you'll want your Ca levels closer to 400 and Alk at 3.5 meq/L. Of course Ammonia, Nitrites and Nitrates should all be 0... Link to comment

Super glue gel, I prefer Loctite brand to any others, but it must be the gel kind and have Cyanoacrylate as the active ingredient. AquaMend putty, or any other kind of underwater stick putty. Sold at Home Depot for around $3.00 a tube. Paper towels Link to comment
