Those are pretty Doug. They would look nice mixed together.
I agree, Kevin & Red Coral get some awesome stuff. I'm itching to make a trip soooo bad for zoa & paly frags. Seeing everything you guys gets makes me jealous.

silentcivilian 05-06-2010 02:53 AM

So.. if anyone ever needs ID.. this is the site ive had the best hit/miss ratio with : http://www.coralpedia.com/index.php?...d=15&g2_page=1

It is basically like zoa wishlist place.. Umm.. also if anyone in calgary has the ones on the second page called: EZs. Let me know.. I love them and will pay to have them.. I think they are golden or the 4th page Wrath of God.... it will help settle my desire of zoas..

When is fragging season zoaElite :mrgreen::mrgreen:

TheKid 05-28-2010 04:03 AM

What lighting do you run??:mrgreen:
-Stefan van ingen:razz:


Zoaelite 05-28-2010 06:28 PM

Fragging season will come shortly, In the last few months I have had some stupid parameter swings due to negligence on my behalf (Temp & Alk). Zoa's are frustrating sometimes, you can be doing everything properly and then one day just randomly one colony or frag will spew it's guts and melt. Not 3 or 4 or 10 or 12 just 1, now how do you treat a problem like that?

Parameters have been getting better, I'm waiting on my dosing pump to ensure everything stays constant especially while I'm gone on summer vacation. Stefan I'm running a 4 foot 8 bulb tek 5 t5 lighting system mounted 9 inches above my water to ensure proper spread. If you are looking to get your zoas to pop in color I would suggest stable levels, letting them grow in a single place by not touching them and using a Vit C supplement.

From Blue World:

Thanks Doug:mrgreen: I LOVE your Darth's and this mushroom you posted in your other thread is awesome!!

where are you guys in Alberta getting all your nice Zoas/Palys from? Are you ordering them online or are you just getting them in your LFS?

Chris

My recent ones all come from either Aquarium Illusions(Edmonton) or Blue World(Edmonton).

Chowder 06-03-2010 07:29 PM

Your LFS are definetly getting some nice Zoas/Paly in. Ones we don't see here to much. We have though been seeing more of the higher end palys around slowly leaking into the market. Also reread your post I see you mentioned where you got them from.

Thanks ,Chris

Paly's are actually my preference and I would love to see some of the varieties that are offered in the US or be able to afford to ship the rare varieties that a member was recently offering in Ontario.

I edited my post after you asked :wink:

Chowder 06-03-2010 08:18 PM

The US definetly get more of the hard ones to find. In most cases the LFS in LA where alot of these shipments arrive first before moving onto here get to cherry pick the nice ones first. We usually get the left overs or have to pay a kings ransome. Believe the guy back east is getting them from the states himself and growing them out. And Palys are my fav as well.

From where you work?

hockey nut 06-03-2010 10:04 PM

We should set up a Zoa/Paly frag swap and meet somewhere in the middle of the two pronvinces .... like Hawaii.... :thumb:. scuba diving anyone?

you sure do get the sweet stuff in AB.

Atomikk 06-03-2010 10:12 PM

Just as a note, we are currently working hard to bring you the best zoas/palys in Canada. Lets just say we are not leaving any part of the ocean unchecked :)
