Ratvan Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Ok so once I have been refunded for the bag of salt that ended up being delivered and was split and spilt all in the box I plan to dump a few more corals into here, thinking i might just get a variety pack and be done with it, this is looking promising 4 2" Discs, each disc has 10+ heads of random zoas 4 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Those look great! I can not believe the deals you can get. I would be lucky to get 2 plugs with 5 polyps each of zoa's that pretty. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Zoa pox killed it. 😞 Haven't been able to find the exact same ones since. Still looking. 2 Quote Link to comment

I thought you'd appreciate the pack 😄 They have an Indo Mushroom pack that is pretty too They are my favourite online shop mainly because in most cases towards the arrival of a new batch they just try and clear the existing stock, also they seem quite accurate when it comes to the origin of the coral (i.e. Indo, Fiji, Aussie etc) 4 Quote Link to comment

It is pretty common here. 🙂 The mushroom pack must have been awesome - was it affordable? Why not pick that one up too? Shrooms are much easier to keep than zoas, IMO. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment

Last year I ordered from White Corals in Germany, 3 days in post and they arrived fine if a little sleepy at first. But again shipping. Should be fine overnight I reckon, willing to give it a go on payday if I can't steal a couple from reefers tanks nearby Quote Link to comment
afcajax73 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I'll have a look when I can nip over, then shove them in a little tub and post in padded envelope or little box maybe? 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Oh yeah they would be fine in an overnighter. I would wap a pocket warmer in (or for fun a white hot BBQ brick....🤣) to be safe... 2 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 So the tank is still in the uglies, although the diatoms do seem to be receding. And yes the FW is still here, i had sold it but the guy has never collected so 🤷♂️ back up for sale if anyone interested? The Coke bottle is my ATO Reservoir (manual top offs of treated tap water) usually lasts approximately 10 days to 2 weeks depending on evaporation The clowns are doing well, and have been keeping an area of the back wall clear of algae growth which is interesting. I have seen the submissive shake several times now and Hantu must eat first (leaving Puaka sat at bottom of tank until done, or if Hantu misses a pellet) 3 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Glad the fish are doing well. Good luck selling the FW. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 So it seems that the Diatoms reached their peak yesterday, today things look a little less brown and a little more green Close up of the GHA that is forming Also seem to be having a Bacterial bloom this morning which is new 3 Quote Link to comment
