I got this frag from "formerly icyuodd/icyoud2" about two weeks ago - my polyps popped within a couple of hours after putting it in. It now looks like this almost all the time and I love it! Sometimes the polyps retract for an hour or two completely and then suddenly come back out. Seems to go in cycles at certain times of the day... Link to comment
J86 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 those yellow rics are awesome! Link to comment

Fishfreak218 Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 ya, lol... ANYWAY about that guy... he said that he had 1 rockwith 5 polyps on it.. i said whats the ppp (price per polyp) and he said $30 each.. so $150 is a little much.. i told him that i would only like 2polyps and he said than i can put two rocks near the main coloney and wait for them to split (ugh)... soi guess i will have to wait.... they are neat rics though..... he has SUCH a great takn..... and some REALLY cool rics.. look at the orange ones with the green ring around them... and the dark blue ones...anyway i hope i can get them b4 the contest ends. but as u and me know... Ricordea can take FOREVER to split...lool.... oh well.. i'll get them someday.. Link to comment

Fishfreak218 Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 no.. not yet.. i need to clean it out a little... didnt have time this weekend srry Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 ok, well i was really bored today and had no HW (homework) so i decided.. screw waiting... im just going to do it.. so i went ahead and transfered everything into the 1.8g Hex... its not against any of the rules.. also i added some Caulerpa Prolifera.. right now most of the coral are majorly ###ed.. so no pics.. later when things start to look better and the water clears up... then you will get a pic...

ZooGirl Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Josh, I'd say that was a mistake because my understanding is you can't start your system over which is what transferring to a new tank would be. Here's what he said in the rules: A WORD ABOUT TANK CRASHES! If your tank crashes (for any reason) you will not be able to restart after contest entry has closed (November 5, 2005). Reason: If your tank crashes, you would have to set it up again which would be basically be entering a new system after contest entry has ended. The point of this contest is to keep a healthy reef the first time around, not to start and then restart over and over if you continually hose your system. I know your tank didn't crash but I think switching to a new tank is basically the same thing because you are setting up a new system. Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 not really.. same filter, same LR, same coral, same fish...most of the same sand.. added some more.... its just new outer "shell" Link to comment
proraptor Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Those rics do look super nice but he wanted too much money....I woul have given him $20 a polyp though for sure...Did he say where he got them? Link to comment
Haagenize Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 shhh zoogirl, he didnt do anything wrong =P any pics yet? Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 proraptor: im still getting them i just have to wait for some to split.. ... Semi: i did it b.c. its not like i have a huge chance of winning anyway... and it's easier to see on my desk.... also i think it will be easier to feed the coral... no pics b.c. some coral is ###ed off.. and the water is cloudy....

ZooGirl Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Oh Josh, you don't know who will win. I think your tank looked great! Link to comment
