$5 frags

Trying to raise money for some actinics, my tank is overrun with softies and some other stuff... Thought I might throw these out there to see if there is any interest..

Brown gorgonian frags, $5 for 6". Fast growers, these came on TBS rocks that I've had for a couple of years. Can combine to make as big of a frag as you want. Critter sells these as sea rods for about $30 ea.

Ric leaves, greenish purple, they flouresce to orange/brown under UV (and hopefully actinic). $5/leaf, I'll cut (unmounted, tie them down they attach quickly. Leaves range from 2" to 4-5".

Green yumas, got a rock overrun, I think they flouresce green as well, $5/leaf unmounted

Common shrooms, have a combination, some are green, some green/red, some red, a few blues. 5 for $5, have a few small rocks with colonies, pay for whatever is on the rock. Prefer to sell the rock and not bother to cut these. I bet I have 500 in my tank.

Small rock with some common brown hairy shrooms, 5/$5

Cabbage coral, it's huge, will cut frags for $5, prob can get some big enough that it would almost qualify as a colony.

Orange cap, kind of random growth (not really scrolling), will break some off $5, the mother colony is larger than a softball, so I think I can get some decent pcs.

Some sacrophyton frags, $5ea. these are "stumps" I had to chop one up to get it out of the sump. They should grow back quickly. Also have a tiny sacro head as freebie. Angela gave me a mom a while back that started spitting off babies, will pay it forward.

I have a small colony of tubs blue zoos (70 heads?) on a big frag plug, I can chop the plug, $5/head (not sure how it will break). I paid dearly for this plug (here on RC), got a chewing from DW when she saw the paypal.

Very small colony of nuc greens (only have about 10 heads), putting on about a head a week, I can probably scrape one or two off $5 ea

Bigger colony of unamed brown/orange zoos (they have flesh colored, "perky" centers, you can make up a suggestive name :D). Prob can scrape 5 heads for $5.

Also have at least one pink bta, golf-tennis ball size, my mother recently split (into thirds which was kinda cool). If I can get one off he's for sale. not $5 here, but let's say $40? Hosting clowns not included (who happen to carry the names of prominent political figures :D) .

I don't sell much (never have). This may be a giveaway or a rip- let me know. I don't have a frag tank all of this is in my display, so tell me what you want I'll precut or be prepared for a little social time digging around in the tank to round this stuff up. Tank is mostly pest free. Little hair algae problem, some red turf algae, aip or two in the sump, but no bad stuff like bryopsis / nudis / bugs / maj's / etc. Also free chaeto to anybody who shows up that needs some.

Pics of most of this at: http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj17/cczarnik/Frags/ (I'm not a photographer, I'd say the colors look better in person. Have chatted with some folks in PM, if there's something you want, let me know, it's not my intention to sell it out from under you. Thanks, Chuck
 
chuck...i'd like to get 3 of these guys

and if you have an extra BTA, i'd like one as well
 
Thx ai-

John, one of the BTA's was on the glass this morning, if he's there tonight, should be easy to peel him off. That might be it on the BTA's, the other two are in the rockwork pretty good, I don't want to hurt these guys.

Also got a run on tubs- I'm going to frag tonight get a few with a few heads each, I want to get them mounted on rubble and make sure they come out for everybody.
 
Hey Chuck! Don't want you to take a total beating on the Nuc greens ...you know they still command $20 a polyp as a "deal" so I would bump them up to at least $10 a polyp and you are still giving someone a great price IMO. I am all about helping folks out but totally know what it is like to need to fund a new purchase from the tank also!! Makes the spouse much happier when the tank actually buys something with the offspring.

Also be carefull cutting the tubbs up. I fragged mine when the were not really big and the colony melted :(. A lot could have happened that was out of whack including the crab I found later that lived in the rock they were on but I will be much more cautiouse with them next time I have some! If you do chop them I will trade you some PHE's if you want. (purple heart envys) They go for about $20 a polyp also. I will cut mine and make sure they heal first though. LMk I want some tubbs but just did the big snail order ya know ;).

Couph broke...couph...ramen noodles for supper anyone...couph...:lol:

Thanks And LMK when I can come by :) I can pay you now so you can fund the lights but if you wanna just let it hang in your tank and cut them later it would be great as my 29 in Claudias room is FULL till I get the big tank wet. Not to mention I have 3 people holding stuff for me :rolleye1:

No prob A, got a date at Chuck E Cheese tonight, not good night for me. To all the PM'ers- I got stuff to cover everybody that has replied. (if I haven't replied individually). I'll frag up some of this stuff after the kids crash, will be around this weekend. will be in touch.

I'll cross my fingers with the tubs. They have to be pretty tough, I don't have a blue thumb and these guys have made it anyway. Ha!

No more rics, tubs, or nukes (at least until I can take inventory).
 
I'm interested in a BTA if it can be safly removed. Also Brown gorgonian. Sorry to hear ablut your mother splitting; at least it wasn't a mother-in law (three of them would be difficult to bear)
Thanks
 
Good deal Chuck. Sorry to hear about your date tonight! I love my kids and that place is a true stretch of my willingness to make them happy! :lol: CRAZY! Anyways, I am in no big hurry on when to get mine and if you are interested in a trade on the zoas we can both just wait and cut them at a later date after your tubbs have recovered from this round.

Hope you don't mind me throwing this out that I have a few polyps of Nuc greens I fragged the other night and need to glue up today. 1-2 polyp size just to get them out of the way of a coral I was mounting I can sell. I can't let mine go for $5 ;) but I will let em go for $10 a polyp if anyone wanted some and you run out. I just have a few. Anyone inerested PM me to keep his selling thread free of my hijack traffic please. I just have maybe 4 polyps is all.
 
chuck, go ahead and pass the BTA to the next guy in line.....now that i think about it too much, im scared its gonna get sucked up in my powerheads

but i do want the rics though....pm me a good time to come get them and your address too
 
PM's going out to everybody got the tubs fragged, one BTA on a pc of rubble. Will cut rics later tonight / tomorrow.

John, I passed that BTA down, these guys are generally well behaved, haven't had any powerhead problems with them, they settle down when they've found a spot they like. Since I got 3, they all argue over the same spot, so there has been a little more movement than usual. If you ever change your mind I still got an extra :)
 
Hope the frags are doing well for everybody, let me know if any issues...

Still got a nice fist-size shroom rock, 30+ heads, reddish green (kind of a stripe pattern), glow bright green under UV/Actinic. $30 + freebies (got a zoa frag / chunk of orange cap, etc.).... I've met my actinic budget, the current "economic stimulus" is for a new MH lamp :D
