FREE corals in Santa Barbara, ONLY on Sunday Sept 5 1-2 pm

[SBJim]

Time to thin the herd. I you feel like chipping in something for the clean-up crew fund, that's cool but not required. LMK if you have something that you don't see in my tank that you think I might want and you might want to share.

PM for address. I'll reply after 8 tonight or tomorrow morning. If you're not available Sunday, I'll prolly do this another day sometime soon as well, assuming I have stuff left.

I have:

Pink pom pom xenia
Nice tan xenia
Green digi
Anthelia
frogspawn
light blue trumpet coral
Acropora Micropthalma
Probably can spare a little orange digi, purple digi, orange cap, purple cap.

Plus 1 or 2 frags of really cool highlighter green monti cap that are not free.

Green digi (have given away colony twice and restarted with a frag):

Other digi:

Highlighter green (green apple?) cap:

FTS (yes, that's all anthelia across the bottom left, and yes, I have sh*tloads of bubble algae):

What is your water parameters? What kind of equipment do you use? I just started a nano 10g tank. It is cycling at the moment. It would be nice to have some of your healthy corals in my tank.

 

[SBJim]

Std. water params, I guess. I've had the tank up for 6 yrs now, don't test much other than salinity. I keep things pretty simple:

- 50g Sumpless
- Deltec MCE-600 hang-on skimmer
- 4 maxijets (with various mods) on a red sea wavemaker
- TEK T5 retro 4x39w
- 2 computer fans for cooling, no chiller
- Reefkeeper Lite controls heater, fans, lights (best $99 spent)

Dose BRS 2-part daily, top off with RODI, 6g water change weekly (with the occasional week missed).

**Note: I'm giving away frags, not colonies. Sorry if the title was misleading.**

How long do you keep your light on for? What does Reefkeeper Lite controls look like? Where did you buy it from?

 

[SBJim]

2nd pair on at 10 am
1st pair off at 6 pm

Each pair has a cut-off based on temp (80 degrees and 80.4 I believe).
