Chris! Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks, hopefully it arrives alive and I don't kill it. Something about failure gets a man down. If it arrives alive, run half your lights for 3 days. The next 3 days run all lights but take 2 hours off schedule. on the 7th day add 1 hour back, then resume normal lights + time. This is what I have always done with wilds/ fresh from the wholesaler and I couldnt or didnt want to start it low Goodluck! Link to comment

Cheaper than a divorce Did you go for that absolute black that isn't so "absolute"? What did you get for backsplash? Link to comment
Chadf Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yes! And we get the ball back after the half. Link to comment
Chadf Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 It showed up a couple hours ago. Very pale so far with lots of busted up corallites, but already showing good PE. There may be hope for this one. Link to comment
Chris! Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Goodluck man. They that bad at shipping or you think the damage was more the shipping co.'s fault? Link to comment
Chadf Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Goodluck man. They that bad at shipping or you think the damage was more the shipping co.'s fault? I just came in from installing my garage door opener and it's actually looking really good. There wasn't any damage to the box and it was well packed with peanuts, I don't think there's any way to get around damaging some of the fragile tips of an echinata. Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Did it arrive? How's it lookin'? Link to comment

Only blue+ is on right now, my iPad pics look terrible under blues.I can't any pics worth a shet under just Blue +. What makes me mad is the corals scream sexy under just blue + to. Link to comment
Chris! Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I can't any pics worth a shet under just Blue +. What makes me mad is the corals scream sexy under just blue + to. U think they are bad under all blue+ try under only blue LED..... that's one mistake I won't make again, even with flash on it was like papa smurf went all ape shit on my tank lol I just came in from installing my garage door opener and it's actually looking really good. There wasn't any damage to the box and it was well packed with peanuts, I don't think there's any way to get around damaging some of the fragile tips of an echinata. Ok doesn't sound like it was as busted up as it originally sounded. Glad to hear it is looking good, hopefully it stays that way!!!!! Link to comment
Chadf Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 The echinata is still doing well. No necrosis, good PE, and slowly starting to color up. And I just bought a fist sized colony of red planet Link to comment
Chadf Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 A chunk off of this, the guy's had the colony for 8 years so it should be pretty well adapted to captivity. http://s218.photobucket.com/user/chad7531/media/image-138.jpg.html'> Link to comment
