[roadrunner1659]

i will post a pic tomorrow...today i looked at them with the actinics on and they seem to be more open when the actinics are on then when the 10k bulb comes on the seem to scrunch up again...

tomorrow i will take a shot of the zoa's!

 

[Reef Junkie]

Is your 10k bulb an xm? What's the wattage?

 

[roadrunner1659]

the wattage is 65x2 PC...what is xm

 

[Azurel]

I think Reef Junkie was thinking you had MH bulbs.

Hey ReefJunkie...

Just wanted to ask where you got alot of those beautifully colored zoas. Did you get a lot online? Or were most gotten from local reefers? I love zoas, but the LFSs around here don't carry too many varieties. They seem more taken with the SPS craze! hahaha

Thanks
-Mark

 

[Reef Junkie]

Yep, I thought you meant Metal Halide.

Believe it or not, most of my nice zoas were picked up from other reefers like yourself. Trading/buying.
Then the rest from local reefers. I only picked up a few nice ones from LFS's.

ok the new pic is in my gallery...although reef junkie im gonna need your help moving it from my gallery to this thread!

 

[Reef Junkie]

Hey, I don't see the picture.

 

[roadrunner1659]

its up now...sorry for the lack of quality!

 

[Reef Junkie]

Incredible! This is great news! Those are coming back if you ask me. Good job!:thumbsup:

 

[roadrunner1659]

you think so???? they are opening more and more yet none of them are showing there skirts yet...

 

[Reef Junkie]

No worries, they will. The fact that they're showing their centers, means they're trying to sun themselves. That means they're not being irritated anymore.
Those look like Dragon Eyes. Nice coral!

 

[roadrunner1659]

reef junkie thanks for all of ur help b/c i never would have figured it out on my own!

 

[Reef Junkie]

Bah, sure you would've. I just gave you a little push.

Bill.

 

[roadrunner1659]

well then thanks for the push! haha...i needed it! i guess as long as things continue down this track...i'll be making a trip up to long island in the near future!

 

[Reef Junkie]

Cool beans, I should be closing on my house next week, that means I should have my frag system up and running soon.

By the end of the month, I should be ready to have guests.

 

[roadrunner1659]

cool that sounds awsome! i would love to see a crazy big setup! it makes me think of what i'll be able to do in the future when i get some more space!

 

[Reef Junkie]

Heh, what I'm gonna do is nothing compared to some of my friends. Like 500+ gallon systems.
My system is gonna be nice, but humble.

 

[Azurel]

Those look a lot better then what you described the first few days there Road.....On the road to recovery good job!! I call "dibs" on some contents of your new frag system in the future Junkie.....

 

[Reef Junkie]

Heh, sure thing Azurel.
I just want some of those Paly's.
mfinn has some I want too!
Some really nice zoas coming out lately.
