Newbie with no frags to trade, but would like to find some good beginner corals to buy. What do frags tend to go for?? I'll study up on the frags that I see listed so I know what I could try. Zoos and shrooms?

Thanks and see you there!

I would go with softies, they are pretty hearty. Stay away from SPS unless your tank is over 6 months or so, I wouldnt go with sps unless you think your ready, softies are a bit boring, but a good start, shrooms can live out of water they are so darn strong haha... not really but they are really hearty.

Well I just found out on sat, that my brother is flying in from NY to hang out with me and the wife, and the baby. So I am going to have to miss this meeting, I wont miss the next one thats for sure! I dont see him often so I am going to have to pass on the meeting, unless I can talk him into going, but its a long drive to go to indy to pick him up go to Terre Haute, back to indy, back to TH, then back to Indy on sunday to the airport then back to TH. Kinda a lot of driving. So I think I am going to miss this one, I will keep you informed if something changes.

Not a frag, but I finally caught the large red brittle star that was in my tank. He's banished to my QT tank until I find him a home. He's not guilty of anything bad, I just heard that they might kill sleeping jawfish and I got worried. I could bring him with me Saturday if anyone is interested. PM me if you want him, otherwise he's going to the LFS.

matt the fiddler
03/10/2004, 09:41 PM
how big is he?

catdoc
03/10/2004, 10:07 PM
Hard to say since he's always hiding, I would guess his legs to each be about 5 or 6 inches.

Well I was going to go to the ICC on Sunday, but I am thinking of comming to your guys meeting if that is cool. There seems to be limited interest in SPS in the ICC and that is where my interest is. I have several nice acro colonies that are ready to frag for trade, but they will be unmounted (or freshly mounted!). I will post pics tonight, so I can be sure that they are not the same as anyone else has.

I would be interested in:
Tyryfin's green slimer, purple acro, and tricolor
Jeremy's secale and skyblue milli
newlinj's tricolor acro and green acro

Thank's
Jeff

Argh! I guess that my ftp server will not let others access my folders. How about if everyone holds their can to their ear and pulls a little tighter!

Let's try this, If anyone wants to see pictures then I will email them tonight. If I get confirmation that anyone wants to trade frags then I can still do that tommorow AM, before the meeting.

Thanks,
Jeff

03/12/2004, 09:18 PM
o.k. I got emails from newlinj and Sc4r3d and will be fraging some for them. Tyryfin, I am still interested in your slimer, purle acro and tri color. Jeremy, I still would like the milli and secale. If you are both still coming to the meeting then maybe I will just go ahead and bring a half dozen frags and you can see then if you already have them or not.
Thanks,
Jeff

Good to see/meet everyone. Thanks for all the frag trades. I spent about four hours rearanging rocks and placing frags when I got home. I touched or got stung by something, and my left hand went numb. My pinkie and second finger are still numb!

Sorry to hear that. Yes, it was a great meeting. I am also glad to be able to put faces to the names that I see on the boards. Thanks also for all the frags. I also want to thank everyone who patiently took the time to answer all my newbie questions.

"spent about four hours rearanging rocks and placing frags when I got home"


ha ha. ditto.... well. i took the 2nd half of the day to put in and finish my home grown 9 Gallon refuge. so during the drip on the frags i got, i was doing major work to my tank. luckily i had a place then to throw LR and some of my other frags once it was running


and i am in love with the frog spawn i got.. mmmmm

it was great to meet you all, and see what is happening with all your tanks.. looking forward to the next meeting.


also curious,
there were 2 or 3 people that were getting their first frags for their tanks yesterday- i would love to hear how getting the frags up and running is going.

The GSP that I got from you is doing very well. Very pretty. I also got a piece from Dan. I glued them both to the same rock and they are just waving in the current (his is just a bit different). The Xenia is pulsing up a storm (hypnotizing). And the mushrooms are also glued to their own rock(although I think I glued one on upside down). The other one fell onto another rock and stuck but is open and happy. They are open except the one that I think I put on incorrectly. But other than that all is well. The zoos and the "unknown leather" that I got from Dan are open and are happy. I was thinking of putting the orange and the blues on the same rock but don't know just yet. My tank wasn't delivered today. The guy's friend didn't come to help him get it out of the basement so I will have to wait probably until next weekend to change to the 75. But other than that things are looking great. Thanks to all of you.

catdoc
03/14/2004, 09:30 PM
Thanks so much for the goodies I got! Matt, the zenia pulsed the whole time--the ride home, the acclimation, and into the tank. It looks happy. My peppermint shrimp came running over to groom them as soon as I put them in the tank, but didn't harass them. It was just like it was saying hi. LOL

Katrina, the zoas were already opening during acclimation and today they look glorious! I had some other zoas I'd bought online, thought they looked good until I got yours. Thanks!

I also got a rose bta and it's been fun watching it. It latched onto the rock immediately, then went for a walk. Funny animal. From its original placement, it marched about 8 inches to the right, under an arch, then 8 inches to the left on the BACK of the rock. Grrr...so its exactly where I originally placed it but on the back of the same rock. Oh well. If it decides to stay there, the rock is an easy one to turn around. In a couple of months, I'll get some clowns to keep it company (firefish going into QT on Wed, have to wait until they're done before getting clowns).

It was good to be able to put names with faces and I look forward to next month's meeting.

Thanks!

Hey everybody, I had a great time and it was nice meeting everyone. I also spend several hours playing in the tank when I got home.

Fourseahorseman--let us know how you're doing. Any idea what "stung" you?

Christy, glad you like your zoas. Congrats on the rose BTA. The brittlestar is doing great, Thanks.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting. :cool:

03/15/2004, 11:05 AM
katrina- do you have the pics you brought online anyplace? i am interested in looking at the BTA split again, and some of your other tank pics...

also, no chance you will have any rose BTA's from that tank.. up for trade in a few months? i think some of the orange zoos will be ready then

Hi Matt,

Here's a thread from Reef Sanctuary that has those pics in it.

http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2522

I also have some pics in my gallery on that board, but I believe they are currently having technical difficulties.

Here's a link to my gallery on RAG. Those pictures are a little older than the ones on RS.

I'm going to PM you about the Rose BTAs

Kat:
thanks for the concern, a few hours ago I still had a little tingly feeling but as I type I think my hand is A.O.K. It was not really that big a deal, just weird, I have heard of much more dramatic cases where people had to go to the emergency room. I think I must have gotten slimed by some zoanthid polyps, I moved a few rocks with those on them.
I checked out your gallery link, if those frags are about 5 months old I have some nice ones probably along the same growth timetable, lets trade some acro frags when they all are ready.
