Well, I noticed the little bumps or nodes or whatever they're called a couple of days ago. They opened for the first time last night. The colony now has eight open polyps!

We have coralline algae :D

And the rastas now have nine open polyps. They had three when I bought them a month ago!!!! (The other zoas have new polyps too, but I just really like my rastas, they're so much prettier in person than these awful photos show)

Current FTS. Still looking pretty bare, but Legendary order comes tomorrow :)

I postponed my shipment too. I hate winter as well. It's suppose to be in the 20's again later this week...ugh! Tanks is looking awesome. Coraline algae is always a good sign.

Winter can NOT end soon enough. I like to think I'm fairly tolerant of cold weather, but this winter has been BRUTAL :rant:

Yes, it feels it's never going to end. When do you get the Zoas?

 

Edit: derp, read the thread better! Tomorrow!

Tomorrow, if conditions are right. The forecast for MI is 31-45 for the next couple of days. That should be OK if the zoas are well insulated and mailed with a heat pack, right?

Yep, mine ended up coming on a cold 20's day. The box was like it was just packed, temp was like 75* in the box. I'm jelly, I'm trying to have Darwin make me another pack. I can only spend like $150, and that's next week. Everyone wants my money this month ;(

 

How did you make your clickable sig? I have Lightroom and what not, is there a place to go that explains it.

Oh, I need to pace myself too. I have a certain amount that I budget each month for fun stuff :)

 

I made my sig in Gimp. Photoshop is better, but the computer I was using at the time didn't have it.

so many zoa hoarders

 

There like, crawling out of the wood work now?

 

Zoa domination army :D

 

 

I really like your rock work!

 

Thank you :) I really like the options allowed by the flat cut Marco Rock. It's totally modular. I have some other ideas for how to change out some of the upper "stories" of rock so that I can put additional Zs/Ps on higher elevations of the scape--need to take a hammer and chisel to some leftover pieces I have. (and/or start another nano...ruh roh)

Just start another tank ;)

 

Maybe further down the line. I have ambitious ideas for future tanks, but first I need to master the art and science of keeping zoas happy :wizard:

Marco Rock is awesome. In addition to the flat rocks being good for aquascaping, it has lots of big holes that fit frag plugs (or can be made to fit with a drill).
