Rescued undata

nUgZ · #1 08/07/2007, 08:05 PM

I rescued this Montipora undata two weeks ago. Here it is when I got it.

Here it is now.

It's still got a ways to go, but I think it's improving.

Another Coral Saved in the trade. Good Job. Frag that baby when it gets bigger and sell it.

that's a great improvement. what poor tank did it come from?

nUgZ · #6 08/18/2007, 01:49 PM

Thanks guys. It came from my LFS's frag tank. Most things do very well in there for a while, but some things start to go downhill if they don't sell within a month or so. Luckily I get to be the benefactor for a good number of those corals.

Great save!

I got the same deal going with my LFS. Good for them, and us.
But sometimes it doesn't pay off. In this case, it looks like you did real well, congrats.

Good job

Nice man...nice! I see you are in NC..I am in Raleigh and would love to grab a frag of that from you. I sent you PM.

nUgZ · #22 09/08/2007, 11:53 AM

Gary- Thanks a lot. I think I did ok with this one.

I'll meet you one of these days, but I never seem to be able to make it over to the swaps at Down Under.

Jack- Thanks man. The color is getting better all the time. I'm going to be switching to a Phoenix 14k bulb soon hopefully. It's under a XM10k currently.

Serious- I appreciate it. YGPM.

I like nothing more than saving a basically dead coral. Thanks for looking Shan Man.
