glennr1978 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Yes, I feed all of the LPS Mysis once a week. Is that what they're saying about jawbreakers? Maybe I'll hold on to the ones I have for a while. I'm 99% sure I use the same supplier as extreme corals, and I have the exact same orange shrooms (mine just don't have much red and green in them yet). I can't get $6 for them now, maybe in a year or so I can actually sell them, lol. Link to comment

I can't get $6 for them now, maybe in a year or so I can actually sell them, lol. there was a discussion forum over on reef2reef where many of the original owners of the jawbreakers chimed in ... they found that the colors took years to truly develop ... Zia and I both have these shrooms in our tanks ... we plan on giving them time to see how they progress ... not sure if they will, but, who knows Link to comment

Zia Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Saweet! The eagles in the nest huh! Good work, yet again Fed Ex There's a cold pack in there, that you might want to remove if the box is in a climate controlled A/C room. Link to comment

Sorry bro, couldn't label all the bags this time because the clock got the best of me. But you'll be able to see wuts wut, when they open up. Some crazy z/ps, chalice, duncans, trumpet, lobo, acan ech, there's one bad azz mini acro colony that's not colored up atm. It was on the bottom of my display getting lower light and flow than it needs. But it's a deep purple base with crazy glowing blue tips when its colored up. I have the mother colony in my tank fully colored up and i'll post a pic later. The barnacle piece has your bad azz Mind Blowing Palys on it. Forgot the rest, but there's others. Link to comment

glennr1978 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'd give you more than $6 for them lol I've had a couple up on ebay, they didn't sell. I've got about 10 dime, to quarter sized polyps right now. They are completely orange with only hints of green and red. Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I hope your tank turns around G. Hope this cheers you up! A lot of sweat and hard work went into this guy. I have to say it is by far my top three I have built! -Dave Where do you get parts to make this? I'm interested making something similar with my par 38 bulbs. I was going to order a couple single two foot T5HO fixtures off amazon for around $36 each and see what I could do. This looks far cheaper. Link to comment

It's custom to the hills. The best LED & T5 combo available. Custom housing all made by one of the best light guys in the biz. Definitely what i want to get for my main display at some point soon.

Checked out the site and that stuff is far out of my reach. Even buying the parts to build my own is cost prohibitive. I'm better off just buying the pre-made ones from Amazon and going that route. Save myself more than half the cost. Link to comment
Zia Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Dude, kudos to you for having the skillz to put together diy lighting at all. Way above my paygrade. Good luck with your build. Would you go T5 and LED combo or. Yeah I went back and read your intro and saw what it was. Checked out the site and that stuff is far out of my reach.

Chew_Magna Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Well the plan is to combine my two par 38 bulbs and two single T5HO fixtures into a unit like that. I've had this idea in my head for a long time and when I saw your pic there it solidified the image in my head. This is the T5HO I'm thinking of using. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004CMPHV4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=16FH8KY6FJIZZ&coliid=IQP6C6F6TAHL8 I'd just need to change the bulbs and build some sort of frame to hold it all. But on the whole diy thing, I was an avionics electrician in the Navy, so things like this don't scare me much lol. I like this fixture as well, same brand, slightly different tech. https://www.sunlightsupply.com/p-14424-sunblaster-nanotech-t5ho-fixtures.aspx Link to comment
