brad908 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Here is a cleaner and movable solution for attaching things to the back/side walls.Glue your frag to a mag disk. Mag on the outside of the tank keeps it in place. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/mag-di...ns-wonders.html Thanks twan. I knew about that but it totally slipped my mind diving into sps yet? Maybe, what is the hardiest sps to start with? Link to comment
Rehype Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Coral banded, chromis, GSP Adding something sexy along with the zoa colonies on Friday Very cool shot Link to comment
pschom Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Ok. This is your reminder. I have montipora and I'll give you a piece for free. Grows super fast. I gave my big one to saltwatercoral and it's still growing like crazy. I think Monti caps look cooler than a lot of other corals and they don't require a whole lot of 'care'. Take a look. Lemme know.

brad908 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Looks great. Will you be around this weekend? Link to comment
twan Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Monticaps will plate and shade other corals. Think ahead when mounting and maybe mag those to the wall as well. Link to comment
brad908 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 That or tell the zoa to man up and take the sting! But seriously, I'm gonna need to take the zoa out Link to comment
brad908 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Very cool shot Thanks hype. Thinking about another panorama pro for the 30c. 445 royal blue or the royal blue/magenta? Right now it has a 445 stunner, 445/12k stunner, and 445/12k panorama. Link to comment
pschom Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I wouldn't go with just magenta, whatever you choose. Its pretty bright. Kind of overpowers things if the whites aren't on. Do u want a piece of that Monti? Let me know so I can break it off now and get it healing up quick. Link to comment
brad908 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Crap my bad, forgot to pm you back. I'd love a piece. What time works for you Sunday? Link to comment

twan Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 So this aqua collection, are you buying from the auctions or the store. Would you reccomend them? Are you dipping these before adding them to the tank? Link to comment
brad908 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 I didn't start buying online until I was able to start working from home Monday's and Friday's, which was about 3 weeks ago. The 60p is all lfs and local reefers. The 30c is about 50/50. Salt critters was my first ever online purchase of livestock, the ric's. I reccomend them. My last 2 orders were on eBay. 2 of 3 were actually what I ordered, the comparison in my opinion of the 3rd is way off. We will see what the next order brings, and I'll give an accurate rating. They were nice enough to hold my order almost a full week for a Friday delivery, so I give props for that. I just do a fresh water dip. Link to comment
albertthiel Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Don't you like to see what you are buying before paying for it ? I used to be that way so always bought from LFS's or nearby ones so I can look at all of their selection but the cost factor I guess has changed the buying approach for many hobbyists as online just about anything is less expensive nowadays and in some cases shipping is free, so I may have to change my mind about how to buy and seriously consider online, although my area does have quite a few shops and because of having been in the business I can get a discount and that sometimes offsets the difference but still online with the kind of guarantees they now give (most of them anyway) may be the new way to go for me as well Albert I didn't start buying online until I was able to start working from home Monday's and Friday's, which was about 3 weeks ago.

brad908 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Honestly, the deals I got were too good to pass up. I'd prefer to see them in person, but at the price and a wysiwyg purchase, couldn't pass it up on the eBay deals. And I can't find ric's locally, so online is my only option for them. I pay $50-120 for nice zoa colonies locally, I was able to pick up similar size colonies for $10-20 online. Link to comment
albertthiel Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Cant' argue with that Brad's ... that is a huge difference and when it comes to hardy stuff I certainly think you are making the right buying decision ! With more delicate stuff I kind of think that one way to make sure you are getting what you want would be to ask the seller to send you a fairly hi-res pic to your email before shipping and then when the order arrives you can compare what you are getting to the pic and it should be the same of course ... Doing that I think gives you an additional level of certainty that you are getting good and healthy specimens. Now not sure if online stores will do that but it is worth trying ...
