Trimming time, Frag Packs FS

My 75 gal tank has been up and running for around a year and a half. All I have to say is this has been a a great experience so far. I will be making 3-4 frag packs from the following corals. Frags will be 1-2+ inches, fresh cut and given a few days to recover. Choose any six for $125 shipped priority overnight within 150 miles or so of 92121.






Here’s a FTS.



Monti’s

1. Pink skin with orange and pink polyps


2. Jade Skin with Orange Polyps


Close Up


3. Confusa Monti, plating with spires.


4.Orange Cap


Acro’s

5. Pink Milli


6. Purple Milli

Thanks Bromion.

I should also add local pickup is fine and encouraged. Feel free to contact me to get shipping prices for anyone who lives further away.

My display is 75gallons with a half full 30gal sump tank.
For lights I have 4 x54w T5 lights on an Icecap 660. The Bulbs consist two aqua blues and two blue+. Lights are on for 10hrs per day.

I run a G3 Skimmer and do bi-weekly 10gal water changes with scripps water.

I dose 5-7floz of randy's two part solution on average daily. Occasionally i'll add a couple caps of iodine and some strontium/molybendium (sp?) and some trace elements after water changes.

Thats pretty much what i do, its a pretty simple setup.

How much $$ is that 2-part solution? I hope you get a bulk discount at almost a cup-a-day!

Again, Great tank!

No kalkwasser, just using a Aquamedic pump and a timer to topoff through out the day. I have it hooked up to two five gallon buckets which i refill every week and a half or so.

The confusa Monti is pretty nice. It looks alot like one I have, but I think mine is a Spongodes. Is there a difference?

I'm not too sure, they both look quite similar. The confusa grows like a normal cap and has columns that grow up from the cap. Maybe the Spongodes are more of an encrusting type with branches?
