HVani Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 You still have some left? I'm interested if you do Link to comment
Mkus Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 That'd be pretty cool if it were on the back of your tank Lol yeah thats what I was thinking, Im trying to get mine to grow on the back! Link to comment
bsdryder7 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 hey just received my gsp so i will let you know how it goes Link to comment
smai-tai Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Alright i thought things over.Im gona skip this just because i dont have the space.Heres what i was htinking about doing and maybe youll want to take it over instead.Buy one 5 gallon ank from petco and throw a par 38 bulb on it with a heater and airstone.That should cost you 140 bucks.Scarape all the gsp off and throw it in that tank..perferably you can peel it off in big sheets.Dont put anything else in the tank and just use it as a aquaculture tank.You got the coral right there its a bullet proof plan to make money on if you have the space.Currently i live in a apt where tanks arent allowed and i have two five gallons.I just started up my second tank as a frag tank and i was thinking about droping this on the bottom but i think it would take over the rack.So within 6 months id need another tank becase the gsp would take over.I just dont have the space but thats what i would do.It should dish out some cash after a few months.Sorry i bothered you with the pm. Wait you mean get a little 5 or 10 gal tank and get a LED PAR38 lamp and a heater and airstone, and no filtration? Just add the water? Will this sustain? Link to comment
_Mitch_ Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 My GSP still isn't opening (it's been 3 days). Is this normal? Link to comment
iDream Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 My GSP still isn't opening (it's been 3 days). Is this normal? I've read many times of it not opening for weeks at a time, I wouldn't worry yet Link to comment
smai-tai Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I've read many times of it not opening for weeks at a time, I wouldn't worry yet +1. They can stay closed for weeks when they are first introduced into a new system. I would not be too worried. You will know if they are dying or just closed. As a precaution I would check your parameters and make sure everything is on the up and up. Link to comment

I bought some at a local lfs and had in my tank 2 hrs later, its been 3 days and has not opened yet. I hope eveyone is right about it taking a long time to reopen? Link to comment
Miami Reefer Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 alright some of you have pm'd me about the gsp not opening. The frags that i cut and kept in my tank took at least two days to open and some have yet to open completely. Just watch it for next couple days and then we will go from there. thanks Gio Link to comment

I'll keep you posted on how it does... I can post/send pictures if you'd like. Link to comment
Porkypuff Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Same here, mine just got pulled off the frag plug by a hermit... Its turning brown and falling apart. In the future I suppose it would be best to ship in the winter with a heat pack or summer with ice pack or something. Can you ship corals with insulated dry ice? I cant think of anything that would stay cold enough for 2+ days... Yesterday it was 99 degrees here... Link to comment
Miami Reefer Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 those of you who's corals are falling apart please pm me and we'll either talk about a refund or another shipment. I've had people tell me that their coral is fine so it may be that the water just got way too hot and killed the coral. Link to comment

Miami Reefer Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'm sorry to everyone who has had their corals die. I am in the process of refunding money to those of you I have been speaking to. I'm only going to sell locally from now on because I don't want to risk losing anymore coral. Link to comment
Miami Reefer Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 bump for local sales! Link to comment
Ralgo Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I received mine yesterday. OP shipped last Wednesday but USPS didn't deliver till 7 days later.. and I'm only about 45 minutes north of Miami. That being said the frag still had a deep purple color to it and I got it into my tank that evening. As of this morning it hadn't opened yet but the color is still a nice purple shade. Fingers crossed Link to comment
