Clearing out a few frags - some of these are pretty AWESOME

[johns]

Meet me in Des Plaines during the week (best times between 8am and 2pm) for anything here.

This is quite honestly about the best acro I have, both in term of growth rate and overall color. It's an aquacultured blue mille I picked up from www.atlantisaquarium.net a little while back and grew out from a frag. It has the most blue color I've ever come across in a mille personally. I even have a couple other blue milles in my tank that dont really come close. I dont like to frag it a whole lot, but it's growth rate has caused it to encroach on all the acros around it (not to mention the glass) and so today was the day.

First, to show the growth rate, here is a shot first from Dec '05 and then yesterday, 8 months later (the color from Dec is more representative - the white balance was off on my camera again):

Now for the actual frags. These range from a couple inches with many multibranches, down to a frag about an inch or so, single branch, all priced accordingly. Some with flash, some without to give you more idea (the color of the blue linkia behind the frags is pretty darn accurate too).

That's really beautiful! How much?

 

[johns]

Bluemille 1 - $45

Bluemille2 - $40

Bluemille3 - $35

Bluemille 4 and 5 - $30 and $25, respectively

And just a couple more available now.

This first one is a tabling acropora plana. Kind of a blue-green turquoise body with blue-ish growth tips. I usually grow these out a little bit bigger before selling, but I dont have a lot of room now. So while I try to sell those others, here is a small frag, a little under an inch. First the colony from a 02-06, then the actual frag.

Small blue-green plana - $20

This frag I sold back in Feb is a better picture more representative of the color:

This green stag acro with green polyps and blue tips has been growing incredibly fast now.

Green Blue Tip Stag - $20

This was pic of the colony I took a few months back. The growth has been phenomenal since then:

Thats about all the frags I have made right now. I could possibly find frags of the green-purple rimmed monti cap. But I cant make promises. Small quarter-sized pieces would be $15 and medium half-dollar sized pieces would be $20

I'm contemplating a couple others. But that's all for right now.

I'll take some red zzos?

As I mentioned in my first post, meet me in Des Plaines on weekdays. It's where I work.

 

[DragonFish]

Where in WI are you? I'm in pleasant prairie.

 

[johns]

Milles 1 and 2 are spoken for.

Others still available.

 

[Meisen]

John,
Your tank is looking great! Can we coax you to come out to our next frag swap and share some of those goodies? I think its probably going to be in January or February.

Or do you ever get down to the CMAS swaps?

 

[johns]

Hey Meisen-

It sure would be nice to make it to one of the MARS frag swaps. Someday I hope to, but it's hard to arrange for me. Actually, fact is that I commute so long every day during the week that I dont often look forward to making more trips on the weekends. But some day i will.

Generally speaking, making it to a CMAS swap might be a bit more feasible for me, but I havent made it to one of those yet either.

 

[canar]

Johns your box is full

All actual frags pictured in the above thread are now taken.

The blue millepora colony could use just a bit more trimming, so I may cut one, maybe a couple, more frags for now before I leave it alone again. I wont cut these frags beforehand, so you'll have to let me know if you are intereted in one, then I'll cut it. Otherwise, I'm going to leave it grow out for now.

Cant really say what sizes they would be until they are cut, but prices would follow the scheme as pictured above. Most of those I actually sold for $5 cheaper than I mentioned, so you can keep that in mind as well.

PM me if you are interested and if you can meet me in Des Plaines, IL during the day on weekdays. Weekends and evenings would be in Racine, WI.
