kimberbee Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I would say get rid of the nice big colony, but keep a frag. You'll have so much more room!! More corals!! Aw, I miss my tailspot! They are such cuties! Link to comment

Aw, I miss my tailspot! They are such cuties! Agreed, and yes I already have a frag growing well, sorry about your Tailspot - are you considering another one? Stinks when you don't know what caused it? Link to comment

Stinks when you don't know what caused it Thanks, maybe someday I'll have a tailspot again, but there are so many other fish I want to try first! Link to comment
markalot Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I held onto my large green bird until I killed most of it in an Alk spike. It's now in frags on the sandbed and in my 29, growing back quickly. I'm pretty much over it, but I hate to get rid of big corals. It's a beautiful coral, but damn near impossible to frag.

Ya , it's tough to let it go- I have a frag of it growing well so it's not such a big deal- still my baby though! Link to comment
Dryland Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Dude the way this tank goes you will have a new colony in like a couple months! Do it. Link to comment

If you do get rid of it keep an eye on your alk/cal consumption and expect it to drop for a bit and adjust your dosing accordingly Link to comment

Sk8n Reefer Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Pretty excited- www.reefstock.net show this weekend- there are some good vendors coming in and usually a good assortment of sps frags. Looking for something to replace the large Birdsnest once I trade it in. Probably look for a colorful Mille- but never know what will show up. Two day event- I am debating on which day to go- early Saturday to have 1st choice of frags or Sunday for the " we don't wanna pack em up sale" ?. Good raffles both days Link to comment

Uphoric Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Great shots, what camera are you using? Thank you, Ya- I took about 40 pics before I got one that was decent - I have a Nikon D100 with a Macro lens- not sure of the lens - I can get back to you on that. Never mind found it haha Link to comment

Sk8n Reefer Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Easy, go both days lol Right? I force my wife to go to these shows ? she could never make it through two days?. I usually try and pack a lot into my weekends- we're suppose to be getting 18" this weekend so I am planning on breaking out my snosk8 and making a course around the yard- I'll have a group of buddy's on that too- children gotta play?

markalot Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Nice Ponape. So if you like the BOP it does grow about 1/4 as fast as the green, so it might be a good replacement. You know you're going to have to try it yourself just to see. Link to comment
