Yes, I always want to be the first to look at coral shipment. It always makes me excited to see them.

Here are pics of this shipment.

Unbelievable. Does your reef shop have a website? We could only dream of having tanks like that here.

In PR the frags on the LFS is a 10% of the size of the ones on yours photos and the price is like yours ( for a frag the price is around $50).

Visit your thread and see ur tank pics is a relaxing moment for me..

 

[uhuru]

uhuru. Thank you for your help.
P.S. Your NPS tank is very nice.

No problem chingchai! Thanks for the compliment.

I have never seen that Nutra Kol food before. Interesting that they mix the microalgae with rotifers. Have you looked into the Fauna Marin foods? Excellent products IMO.

How are your Dendronephthya doing? If there was some way to feed some of the tank water from your large display directly into your softie tank after you stir up the sand bed in the large display, I think you would get really good results with these corals.

I hope those are all maricultured? Amazing colonies, but not worth it if they are all wild.

 

[Crazyc_625]

Those colonies are just ridiculous. I wish i could get my hands on some of those at that price.......

I agree, but most look wild to me.

 

[uhuru]

Chingchai can you tell me the consistency of the Nutra Kol foods? Does it stay in suspension or does it settle and require shaking of the bottle before feeding? I see they have a US distributor and would be interested in trying their stuff out depending on the consistency of the product.

 

[PauChi]

The Nutra Kol has a very thick and concentrated liquid consistency and I dose the proper amount over the powerheads. It blends and mixes into the water pretty fast and witness the coral's opened mouths ... and yes they're available in US.

I use the Nutra Plus Reef Feed.

HTH,
Paul

I just tried to view your tank via web cams and nothing?? Is it down or am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks

 

[chingchai]

Are those harvested straight from the reef? How are the regulations regarding harvesting? Those are unbelievable pieces!

Yes, they are mariculture SPS.
I don't know about the regulation. Sorry.

is this from Chatuchak?

It is the shop at Chatuchak (Colony Marine). I already told you in PM.

Paul. Thank you again for your recommendation.
I dose three of them for the amount of 30 ml each.
The reaction from the coral is good (especially tiger sponge and Aussie sponge).
The only problem is the water turned very cloudy.

No, they don't have website.
The owner is very low-tech.

Thanks. I may try Fauna Marin someday.
Your tip is interesting, I will do it.

Yes, they are maricultured. Believe it or not.

 

[Lytehouse]

That will make for some happy, happy corals :spin1:

It does stay in suspension but I still shake it before use.
