We should do some trade-sies...I'm coming through Calgary on the 10th. I could give you back a big chunk of that Acro I got from you a year and a half ago.

which stick was it that you got?......kinda a purple tenuis-y lookin one wasnt it?.........I dont know Mindy.....there is really only one or two things that are big enough to frag.......its really a big-ish box full of wee frags ATM.....










and heres a pic of an old friend.....I had a big beautiful colony of this A.nana in V1.....when the tank crashed I of course lost the colony......this is a frag that Mikey got from me a while back, grew out and decided to give back to me.....Thanks again mang!......it went through a brown spell but it's starting to color up a wee bit....

Beautiful stuff as always man. Looking at the photos it seems like you must have 100+ diff corals in there! What's a rough guess?

someone else asked me this a few pages ago.......it probably changed a little but should be fairly accurate......

I'll do better than ballpark it

38 different sps
3 different favias
10 different acans
5 different micromussas
2 different blastomussas
3 different chalices
brain
2 scolys
37 different zoas
2 different rhodactis mushrooms
2 different yuma rics
dendros
duncans
maze coral
and an unidentified lps sorta like an acan but not



I dont have a problem

I think it is A. austera...? If you want a chunk, just let me know (no trades). I'm making a beeline to BC on the 10th, so I will be passing through Cowville.

This stick:




It turned into this (sorry white balance is off):

Hahaha, that's an actinic shot! It still has green in the middle near the base, but all the branches are purple. I will be in Ontario from the 3rd to the 8th so I may be slow to reply or maybe not reply until I'm back. If you want it, I will have to snip it on the 9th, and bring it to you unmounted on the 10th.

unmounted is fine.......I mount things just fine on my own......I'll try texting ya....that might be the best way to coordinate.....


I thought I would post a short vid of my new additions......I know peoples track records with them......and Laurie thinks Im stupid for trying...........but Ive always wanted to do a group of fish........so, I added 14 chromis.......its only been a day, buts I can say that its really neat seeing the initial behavior.......the chromies were of course stressed when first introduced so they stayed in a tight ball formation for the better part of the evening..very cool to watch.......it was kinda weird, non of my usual bullies paid them any attention......most of my resident fish were curious but not at all aggressive....... they probably thought they were being invaded by little blue/green aliens....... only one fish seemed really irritated by the new arrivals......my royal gramma.....usually one of the most passive fish I have, but man was he P oed.......it actually ended up being quite the show.....the gramma stayed "puffed up" and agitated for a couple hours......strutting and chasing and flaring and posing.........it was cool.......I wish he would do that more often......anyway, its only been a day and the chromis are already starting to break into smaller groups at times.....I wanted to take and post the vid of them while I,..... A) still have 14 of them......and B) while they were still acting as a group, not individuals...... its just a short vid and it kinda looks like the Blair witch project because I took the vid with my I-phone.....
