(Though I'll likely grumble that it's in freakin' Noblesville again) ;)

[sand man dan]

hey scott,
glad to see your going to come.
danny

[DensityMan]

Thanks. I haven't been able to make a visit to this club yet and definitely been wanting to. I have a bunch of little frags I need to get off the sand-bed, so it's a good time for me. ;)

Looking forward to seeing you there as well (bring some bright zoanthids) and hopefully some new faces and old friends... :D

[dmits41]

I'll be #15 (I hope), though I have no frags as of yet, unfortunately. I do plan on bringing some cash though!

[krdill]

I'll be there as well.

[Fourseahorsemen]

Count me in as #17. I can bring some SPS frags, acropora and montipora digita. See ya.

[gaydec]

Who would be interested in some Larry Jackson at the frag swap. I'm not looking to trade too much, as I may not be going home after it. I don't really want to leave with anything either. I'm thinking like 8-12 for a small frage and 20 or so for some medium-large.


Let me know.
Thanks,
Collin

[Fourseahorsemen]

Hey Collin,
I'll take a L Jackson, either a trade with something I bring or I will buy a small frag.
Jeff

[DensityMan]

If 4c is on board then so am I ( ;) ), but WTH is a "Larry Jackson?"

*grin*

[gaydec]

This is larry jackson. It sells for about 40 bucks for a 1-2" frag here in Terre Haute.

[DensityMan]

*whistle*

Pretty (which as an SPS means it's fairly well doomed before purchase in my tank for some reason... my montis do OK, but acros don't like me so much...)!!!

[Fourseahorsemen]

Collin,
very nice, is that in your tank?
Larry J. had the original and that is why they call frags from that colony L arry J. I think it is similar species to Steve Tyree's Purple monster. Both grow fast and have a nice purple color. Hate to say it but I have paid more than $40 retail for a 1" frag. That's the nice thing about the club, you can get diversity with trades.

[shaw]

LJ is one of the fastest growing sps i have ever had, do your tips grow yellow, mine do. weird.
shawn

[matt the fiddler]

i know ID a coral on looks only is a mess.....

but that pic that looks and sounds an awful lot like the tricolored acro in Jeremy's display tank, frag now in mine- how much different is the L J from that one in Jeremys tank? non visable differences? behavorial, growth forms?

[overflowin]

anybody going from the east side of indy? my wife needs the van and my car is out of commision for the time being... If i could catch a ride it would be awesome!

thanks
donnie

[matt the fiddler]

what part of the east side?

[caseymou]

Don't know what number I am (too many mixed drinks this evening) but I am coming along with mildly interested wife.

[DensityMan]

Overflowin: 16th and Emerson area... so I can grab ya if you need a ride... just PM me... ;)

[Fourseahorsemen]

Is anyone interested in SPS frags? I guess I don't want to go to the effort and bring them if not.

[justgettinstarted]

I may be if they are different from stuff that i have

[shaw]

Ya, i am mainly interested in sps frags. i will bring a few, but mosly softies, phyto,
anyone want any live sand?
shawn

[gaydec]

I have a couple of BTAs that I could get rid of if anyone is interested pm me.

Then you would have the only one I know of out there that does this. I met Larry Jackson and saw all of his strands of (LJ) acros, and none of them have yellow tips on them. If you can email me a picture I would like to send it to him and have him id it for us. myreef@techie.com if in fact it is, i would love to buy a piece from you, I am always looking for LJ's they are my favorite piece to collect.

thanks shawn.

rt

[reefyguy]

i will be there

[matt the fiddler]

reeftechie- where does he live, and how did he aquire before anyone else, the start on all these strands? is he a marine biologist or something?

[dmits41]

I'm interested in live sand, that and softies.

[cwegescheide]

damn damn damn..... I would like to go but of course I am outa town... How about everybody do it next weekend so I can come too!!!

Thats ok when I was a kid I was the last one picked playing kickball too.... I am used to rejection!! LOL

I actually do have some frags this time too. Thats ok they will keep till next time I suppose. :)

Have fun everybody,

Chris

[reefyguy]

and yes...i am interested in sps frags for my newly setup 200..i will have some for trade and i will buy some when my frags run out.

[DensityMan]

I'd also be interessted in some sand for the 'fuge...

Chris, you need to stay home anyway until you have caused your green leather to split off a new head for me. *grin* (sorry you can't make it bro)

Well since the strand of Larry Jackson was named after Larry Jackson himself, I believe that if Shawn had a Larry Jackson it would have to look the same as the ones named after Larry Jackson since there is only one true Larry Jackson which is Purple w/Green Polyps on it Below is a picture of LJ at its greatest color. Larry Jackson is about as well known as Steven Tyree, How does Steven aquire such wonderful corals, He is great friends with the right people, if you find something and nobody else has it, typically in the coral world its named after you, if it is worth naming. In the world of corals you want stuff that is limited, you have to buy from them, it’s like owning an Andy Warhol.



http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/24086/normal_LarryJackson.jpg

Collins piece looks like they just haven’t colored up all the way I believe he told me he was using 10k or less. So they wouldn’t hold there color as much as with 20k bulbs, I know his is because Larry sent it to him :D .

I would love to have a piece of your Acro Shawn, I bet it looks beautiful. Please bring a piece to the swap for me, I will take a piece of it from you, if you wouldn’t mind bringing it for me.

Please don’t think I am in any way trying to start anything with anyone, I just have a great knowledge of LJ as it is my favorite coral, and he is a great guy to talk with.

[matt the fiddler]

reeftechie- it will be nice to have you at the meeing- looking forward to chatting and hearing your expierence.

you know you keep hearing these names- and wonder how they got started :)

[Fourseahorsemen]

This is awsome! I didn't know ther were others in the club as interested in SPS. All you softie lovers, when you get a little older and have a little more $$ you will catch the SPS fever!
I can bring a nice frag of a bali aqacultured purple tips and green body, long polyps, a few serementosa with long polyps and the mother has pink tips on new growth, a few orange montipora digita, a yellow/green monti cap, a couple ORA green staghorn and these have a name! Scribbs Staghorn.

[matt the fiddler]

do you have pics of the staghorns 4C

[shaw]

fourhoreseman

i am definately interested in your sps, i will bring some for you

I look forward to meeting and talking with all of you as well, I have heard great things and seen a lot of great posts in INMAS so I look forward to meeting you all and getting some killer frags.

I am glad also, I have been into sps only for a long time now, and its good to see other have cool things as well. Sounds like you have a lot of great frags Fourseahorsemen, i want one of everything you have if you dont mind bringing a frag of each of those for me :D I look forward to hooking up with you all in a couple of days weeeeeee..

[reeftechie]

I have a GEO Skimmer that is rated for 400 gallons, I dont need it and would like to sell it. Is there anyone interested in it? I can bring it to the meeting if you like? I would like to get $200-250 out of it, I believe he sells this one for $450.00 its not that old and is in great shape.


Petting my trigger, nothing to do with anything just like the shot :D

Reeftechie,

I am DEFINATLEY interested in it... Gimme a call. I just aquired a 175 bowfront and I need to get EVERYTHING for it.

Chris

[cwegescheide]

Hey Fourseahorse... I went to the last meeting you had at your place and liked the lighting you had on your tank. I am in the process of setting up my 175 bowfront and my tank height is pretty close to yours if I remember correctly. About 30" I guess.. Anyways how many watts are your MH and what Kelvin rating are you using??

Thanks!!

Chris

[justgettinstarted]

I have a whole tank of nothing but SPS but all i am looking to put into it is the less common and just awesome looking pieces. But in my large tank i have all sorts of CRAP! HAHA from monti digi to lots of caps and some LPS. the zoos i get from matt will be the first to go into it! LOL. I kinda went in reverse order.. SPS first and now softies last as i got the new sps tank.

Anyone interested in a pretty large sailfin tang? (i would suggest having a tank over 200g for it.

here is one of my SPS

http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~ggarner/new%20pics/deepwater3.jpg

[reeftechie]

does anyone want xenia? I have a ton of it and dont want all that I have.

PS

The Geo is a beckett skimmer, not sure if he still has it posted on his web site, I know he is updating it currently, if nobody is interested I dont want to bring it to the meeting its a bit large to carry on if nobody needs one.

rt

[overflowin]

how much for the xenia?

thanks
donnie

[reeftechie]

$5.00 for a nice sized piece $10 for a lot? is that fair?

[overflowin]

i'll take $5 worth...will turn into more than that soon enough from what i hear about xenias!

thanks
donnie

[reeftechie]

for sure grows like WEEDS. Ill bring some for ya.

rt

[justgettinstarted]

it just melts away in my tank... not really sure why.. my only guess is that the SPS chemically attack it.. because my water param are perfect and everything but softies thrive... i dose iodine for the shrimp, quite strange

[shaw]

Justgettin

hey there, i would like some of the sps that you have. a good variety will do
thanks
shawn

[Fourseahorsemen]

Chris,
I alternate 400w 20k Radium and 400w 10k Usio. Since I have 2 of each then the color of the light is not truley symetrical, and I like it with the 20k on the end, but it blends pretty well I guess.

Justgettin, what a cool blend of green, purple and blue. If you frag that for shawn, I'll take one. I would like to trade before I buy or sell, but if you don't see something of mine for you then I will buy one.

I am most intersted in adding branhing type SPS, staghorn for example.

4C

[DensityMan]

Justgettin, if you're going to frag that beauty then make sure to bring enough for me too. I'll try another brancher in my tank if it looks like that. Wow!

[mheiden]

I'll be there. I am really looking forward to meeting everyone. I am moving to Fishers in July. I would like to buy some frags also. . . .

[reefyguy]

I will have a couple frags of this (this is an older picture)

[fkbsar]

Hey guys, can someone lead me to a picture of a tree sponge or a pipe organ? I had someone ask me about them but I don't even know what they look like.

[reeftechie]

http://reefcentral.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=21459&papass=&sort=1&thecat=500




I want one of those bro :D

[reefyguy]

i have about 5-6 frags of that..maybe for some of that larry jackson?

[justgettinstarted]

i will take a frag of that last one for sure! do i have anything you want?

[matt the fiddler]

could i be in line [#3 in line i believe] for a frag of that tris1_03 please?

email me/ pm me and we can figure out someting i have that you want hopefully...

[gaydec]

reefguy, I'd like a piece of that as well. So that makes me number 4.


Thanks,
Collin

[caseymou]

Anyone have frogspawn or other LPS?

[reeftechie]

reefyguy: your on, Ill hook you up with a piece of LJ for that. :D


caseymou: I have a nice piece of Hammer, its a large piece, I am willing to get rid of, let me know and I can bring it for you.

rt

[reefyguy]

I cut the frags last night and they lost the color. I am sure they will color back up. Especially with 20k lamps. It was my 2-3 time fragging a coral. I suppose this is normal.

[reeftechie]

as long as they arent white :D :D :D sounds normal to me, some of mine lose color as well when I frag them

[reefyguy]

ahhh.....the hard to find white acro..very rare indeed..reeftechie here is a link to what that coral first looked like when it was bought from premiumaquatics. I pimped it hard on rc and a everyone said that the coral colony would not maintain that color. (one of them was in charge of ora frags) he told me the coral would lose the white and gold look and darken up. It def. did a 180 but it is still a sharp coral.



http://reefcentral.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=17723&papass=&sort=1&thecat=500

[justgettinstarted]

the white acro! its a love hate relationship... no one wants one... but once you get them they are so easy to take care of! Dont even need to worry about keeping em wet... sure they dont grow much but they sure do hold their color... even under NO bulbs... or incandescent room lights! HAHA

[reeftechie]

I have a bunch of the elusive white acros if anyone needs them I can bring them, I don’t ask much for them, as JGS said they are so vary easy to take care of, in water, out of water, fresh water, even salt water, they don’t mind, anymore heck they can even ride with you in your car to work, so you can take a piece of your reef with you where ever you go :D just give them a little air conditioning on the way to work and they will GLOW WHITE in all there glory!

[reefyguy]

you guys read in the star under hamilton county am section that a 22 year old's reeftank caused a fire. Apparently the bulb caused a fire and did about 75k worth of damage. If the tank hadnt let loose it could have been much worse. Name in the paper was Jordan Harley who owns aquatic innovations? Anyone ever heard of this guy?

[sand man dan]

i was talking to a guy at premium one day and he mentioned of a friend of his that had a fresh water place in noblesville??? i have never heard of it before maybe that was it and he had a reef also.
todays star ?

[reefyguy]

yeah....today's star under the hamilton county am section. Front Page.

[sand man dan]

wow man i know a guy who works at the store we are having the frag swap his name is jordan and he also has a reef tank and also lives in noblesville, but im not sure if he runs a business i think he is only 18 ??????????

[reefyguy]

this guy is 22...and it says he operates aquatic innovations...also designs waterfalls, water gardens, and fountain and irrigation systems...uh oh

[matt the fiddler]

ouch


is that the palce just north of glendale mall that does aqua scaping?

[ang_adj]

Hi there - I'm new to the forum. I'd like to attend the Saturday meeting and bring a friend. What's on the agenda?

[sand man dan]

[DensityMan]

EDITED to clear up the request.

[reefyguy]

I DONT HAVE A LJ, OR FAKE LJ.........YOU ARE CONFUSING ME WITH SOMEONE ELSE. I am trying to trade for one

[DensityMan]

No need to yell... sheesh.

I was referring to this one: http://reefcentral.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=21459&papass=&sort=1&thecat=500

your purple with green polyps that you have labeled as a 'tri.'

[reefyguy]

no yelling here....i just had my caps on....it was a tri-color when i bought..look a few posts up...then it turned that color.

[matt the fiddler]

yea- reefyguy- check your pm. i asked you about a trade for that... let me know what you are thinking....

[DensityMan]

I prefer it now to the tri-color mode... ;)

[shaw]

i am looking for any cool sps, so just bring it, i can trade for it or just buy it. i will bring a variety of things.
shawn

[reefyguy]

i think i have 7-8 frags of it..some bigger than others. Just bring something that rocks.
by the way what time is this thing?

[justgettinstarted]

all i am bringing is sps so hopefully you guys will dig what i bring...

[DensityMan]

as the Yang to Garrett's Yin, all I'm bringing is softies... ;)

[gaydec]

We (reeftechie and I) are getting a late start. We are getting ready to walk out the door. It takes about 2 hours to get there (hopefully less). So don't start without us. We have plenty of goodies.
