Well then my error..oh well..

 

[purplereef]

Thank you for the kind comments. The last picture is the famous Bazooka Joe chalice. The orange and green coral is a Scoly. It has really held its color even in the bottom of my tank in almost full shade. I am setting up my Elos 120xl so the 90 gallon will be taken down soon.

Very nice. I love the Bazooka Joe. :inlove: :thumbsup:

What is that bright orange colony in the first picture?

 

[purplereef]

Thanks TJ. The orange colony in the first picture is the Montipora Setosa from frag Farmer. It's like 7"X7". That colony really took off growing after I stopped dosing Zeo. I believe corals really need some nutrients in the water. Dan.

 

[Ohiomom]

Ahh well was speaking of the second picture..looks pink..

 

[Kreeger1]

looks good dan, that's the biggest setosa I've ever seen

Haha... that's what I thought... but the colony was so large I figured I was seeing things. :lol:

Also, what's your growth rate on that Bazooka Joe been like? I've almost picked up a piece a few times, but it's usually like the size of a finger nail clipping when I find it... so I haven't pulled the trigger.

 

[purplereef]

Erik, thats what Jeff said when he saw it yesterday. The Scoly is the exact same one as ktar is selling right now.
TJ, Pull the trigger on even a small frag if you can find it. I would just be sure there is atleast one mouth on it. Also I would be sure it is healed for a week before I bought it. My growth rate has been so so with this piece. It has probably doubled in size in about 8 months.

 

[serpentman]

Although all his corals are amazing, that setosa is particularly unique especially considering how slow they grow.

 

[purplereef]

Thanks Jeff, see you tomorrow.

Thanks for the info... I'll have to bump it up my list a few notches. I saw a piece of Bazooka Joe next to the Tyree Pink Watermelon, and couldn't believe how much brighter it was than the Pink Watermelon.

looking Good Dan .. I really like the Purple acro in the 3rd pic what is it ?

 

[purplereef]

Hi Sean, that is the Serdars Sapphire. I trade pieces of it for other LE corals. That is how I got my piece of the IceFire Echinata. You can almost see the IceFire behind the Superman Montipora in the first picture.

 

[DiscoReefRover]

Its a super cool looking piece Ill have to find something worthy of a chunk of that ...........lol Yur Stuff looks tops as usual Dan !!!

 

[SPStoner]

Looking good, Dan:thumbsup:

I can't wait to see the new tank up and running.


See you tomorrow, right?

 

[purplereef]

Hey Tony, Yep tomorrow afternoon my good man. Thanks for the complements. Yes the Elos sitting there just staring at me was slowly killing me.

 

[DiscoReefRover]

Thanks Again Dan ..one of the brightest corals almost looks radioactive ... Very nice !!!!
