    Reef STDs from swap ;)

    I would suggest that if people can't have the b@lls to put their name on their frags, they should not be able to put them in the swap. At least there can be some accountability with a name and a pest disclosure.

    Reef STDs from swap ;)

    Hey everyone! I got some really amazing frags today, thank you all so much for your generosity. However, I got two containers that did not have a giver's name on them and lo and behold those were the two containers that appeared to have pests. :( :( :( On the freebie table: the green polyped...

    No sump on this tank, just super simple, less that can go wrong. :)

    I am very proud of my boyfriend, and my tank is looking great upon my return, the browned out corals are colored back up for the most part. I guess I will keep him a while longer. Frags for the upcoming swap : Orange palythoa Powder blue (?) palythoa Green Hammer coral Hairy Rhodactis 'shroom...

    I do love to travel, but I also get paid to do it. :) Otherwise I'm sure it wouldn't be quite so often.

    Don't get too excited: Capnella, Xenia

    @wpeterson (and everyone) Sorry I wasn't able to get to the meeting yesterday, my car is broken and haven't had a chance to get it to the dealer for service yet. I am headed out of the country for a couple weeks, but when I return I'll have even more capnella and xenia available. Hope it hasn't...

    @swayd do you want some back? I am happy to give some back if you want to replenish your stocks. Otherwise I will bring frags to the next swap :) . Most of my coral is doing well or recovering from the damage in November. I'm doing one more water-change before I go to Mexico next week and I will...

    @swayd I wanted to show you the growth of the palythoas you gave me. It's been about 6 months I think. First the frag when you gave it to me (the powdery colored frag was about the same size, but I forgot to document it). And next, how they look today, and lastly the blue ones today. :)

    Don't get too excited: Capnella, Xenia

    @wpeterson I like Capnella and Xenia, but it can get to be problematic in some tanks (especially small tanks like mine) because it grows so fast. I'm not getting rid of all of mine, just thinning it out. I will be sure to bring some of each for you. The xenia is a nice shorter stalked one, a...

    Don't get too excited: Capnella, Xenia

    Lol, so true. I mean, it is pretty and all... but eventually becomes an unflushable.

    @JPVEE oh, that's too bad you won't make it to the workshop! I might be able to coordinate for next week, but just had unexpected car problems so have so dealing with that today. :(

    Don't get too excited: Capnella, Xenia

    @JPVEE I think what I'm going to do is just bring the stuff to the Frag Workshop since I may have a hard time coordinating these next few days. I will save a piece of each for you if you'll be there!

    Don't get too excited: Capnella, Xenia

    I wouldn't exactly call it DBTC, but I have some Kenya Tree and some xenia available. The xenia is the short, light pink pulsing type (I believe it is Red Sea). You can either pick it up from me in Oakland or I can bring it to the Feb 7th workshop.

    P.S. @swayd the zoa/paly you gave me are also doing great, especially the orangey colored ones!

    Darcy's 20g nano

    Lol, well ages ago I had 100 gallon reef, but my (ex)husband deemed it an "unreasonable hobby". I had kept this little 20g FOLR (and shrooms) for about 6 years and just recently decided I wanted to do enjoy it once again. So everything I know about reefing is somewhat dated. I don't think I had...

    Aw Mark, thanks for the sympathy! Sorry to hear your wife's car conspired against you (goes to stalk your posts). That also reminds me of one time that I had purchased a cleaner shrimp and then stopped at Vik's Chat house to grab a quick snack, and I had an allergic reaction to some cashew...

    Xenia Outbreak

    In the past, during summertime heat waves I have had the xenia colonies collapse completely. The kalk paste sounds like a good plan, just be careful not to kill off anything else.
