Not a great spring / summer for the frag tank. I lost a couple colonies (Austera, Props Red Table, Desaweii, and my Ice Fire Enchinada (although I had another colony)). But then I went a little crazy and bought lots of new stuff, including Reef Raft frags - Wolverine, Pretty in Pink and Pink Floyd. A long way from fraging those out though.
Anyway, tanks are back to running smooth and corals are looking good. LOTS of frags though! I have too many to list (you have to come by and see), but here is a sample:
Forest Fire Digi
Bright Orange polyps on a blueish base with green tips.
Medium light, medium flow.
Grows well, but green tips can be hard to maintain.
Frags: $20 each
Similar to this piece:

Rainbow Stylopora
Green to Pink base with bright green polyps
Medium - high light, medium flow. Slower grower compared to Pocillipora.
Color can very greatly depending on light and flow.
Frags: $20 each
Similar to this frag, but mine has more pink and not as much yellow in it (this will vary depending on light):

Appleberry
Green 'bumpy' base with blue polyps.
Medium - Low light, medium flow.
Slow grower.
Frags: $20 each
Similar to this frag. You need higher light to get the brighter blue polyps. Mine were kept lower, so don't have quiet the deep color:

Bulk Ca and Alk
Looking for a way to save money in this expensive hobby? I started using bulk additives years ago and recently discovered that a good friend can get me them at a huge discount (he owns a chemical company). So, time to share the savings!
Calcium Chloride - $2.50 lb (BRS $3+ lb after shipping, exchange ect)
Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash - Used for Alkalinity) - $2.50 lb (BRS - $3+ lb)
A quick look at J&L shows 1 KG (2.2 lbs) Seachem Calcium on sale for $23.05! Alk (1.2 Kg or 2.65 lbs) for $19.95.
I'd prefer to sell in 5lb lots, but more or less is possible too.
Shipping is available. PM me.
I'm Available weekends - usually 10am to 1pm (we can arrange something after that) or evenings monday - thursday after 5:30pm (PM to make an appointment though).
Thanks;
Kelly
