How fast do chalice grow? I just got my first and I LOVE it.

Depends on the kind of chalice and most dont grow so quickly

Marty, how are things going on the afflicted islands?

 

[HunterBryan]

Nice chalices! I just bought two small frags and was wondering the best placement for growths in yalls tanks?

 

[johnike]

And I can't wait for this to grow...

:lol: :lol: :lol: I could give you some if only the local shipping laws here are a bit more reasonable. Believe it or not, the hobby here is still illegal. :headwally:

BTW, I got all my chalices for free. hehehehehe :bdaysmile: except for the deep red/blue one which I bought for about $2, because it was severely damaged when I got it. What amazes me is how fast chalices recover. From my experience, a badly damaged chalice could even completely heal in a matter of days!

Marty, how are things going on the afflicted islands?

Things are slowly getting back to normal, though there are still areas that need more attention. I believe some areas still do not have any electricity and means of communicating with them are still difficult. Our big thanks to your country and to every country that helped out.

My tank is 18" tall and I placed my chalices on the bottom part of the tank. I only have 5x10w hybrid multichip LEDs without lenses at the moment, but growth has been good and the colors are great too.

Marty, please explain more about the hobby being illegal there. I knew coral collection was, but not the hobby itself.
Are you some sort of scofflaw?

As a matter of fact - I guess I am, LOL! :lol:

It's rather complicated, and the laws here are so old... heck, the government guys cannot even identify common corals and other cnidarians properly. :lol:

Possession of any coral, soft coral and other cnidarians with exception to some anemones are prohibited. (Anemones can be legally exported AFAIK) and collecting any rocks that came from the reef is also illegal, so technically speaking, liverocks are also prohibited.

Funny thing is, Cartimar (A large commercial complex with most stalls selling pets and pet related products) sells corals long before even I was born. :lol: And god knows not a single seller there had been convicted or tried for anything.

 

[johnike]

Gotcha, thanks.
