Well I will do my best to not melt them and hook you up with some. I would imagine that they will grow better in your tank then mine any how.

I've melted the only polyp I've ever had of CAR's . Single polyp frags is not a good idea, 10 polyps of them is the perfect size to start a real colony.

from what Im hearing the space monsters grow like a weed( I certainly hope so).......my single head CAR frag melted as well.....I have a three header now that seems to be doing ok.......


man with that frag tank lighting you should get a wee bit of growth.....but ya, you may need a small army of critters and fish to keep things in check....


so, how are you liking the 6 radions?.....do you think that is enough for your footprint now?.....Im not a student like you so I cant afford a whack of them at once but I did pick up one for the upgrade today.....

I transfered my Stary Blenny and Long spine urchin to the fuge for cleaning duty, so far so good I'm just waiting for the dreaded cyano .

Couldn't be happier with them at the moment, all of the corals in the tank are looking plump and healthy and SPS that was brown under my halides is finally making a color up. Foot print wise I would say 6 is perfect for my tank, I just need to come up with a better mounting rack as they sit really crooked at the moment.

*Cough* GREG MASTER WELDER *Cough*

I like the effect with the grow light on but it really messes with the white balance yielding some funny colors.





Couple top downs:
Red Planet, The Chalice.




Anyone elses fish follow them around the tank? Makes it hard to snap good coral shots when I have 50 fish begging for food at all times.





Just for Victor, Space Monsters little sister:

Sounds like you need an aluminum hanging rack for the Radions? Do you want it hangable or rest on tank? Send me a PM with tank dims, spacing between each fixture, hight above tank & spacing on tank. I will draw something up.
