I think that one is in your tank still That dual blue with pink eyes should look familiar

Tell me about it. I hope it get's there safely, and soon.

Sorry to hear JT.

You've really got the chalice bug, huh? Beautiful pieces...

Question for you, are these all in your display? I have trouble with chalices because the don't like how much flow I have in my display, and if I put them directly under my T5s, they bleach....wondering what your secret is for doing chalices in an SPS tank (although soon it might be SPS in a chalice tank ).

So far I've killed over half of them I've tried, including this colony...it was hidden and thriving in an LFS tank for a year, and a bargain at $90, and I killed it within a month

Mike, I started buying chalices back when frags were at the most $100

IME, the majority of chalices like lower lighting. I gave many of mine partially shaded by caves and caverns. Only some of them can truly tolerate higher lighting. I really like he one that Gary took pictures of.

The $30 Watermelon?

That is the find of my reefing career...it cost $30 because it looked like this when I got it:

Seriously, that's a really nice find mcliffy.

Mark, so I'm a little confused. That golden galaxy... it's on the MARS auction?

 

[mpoletti]

Very nice Mike.

Jay, yep

 

[earthboy17]

Whew, just finished reading. I'm exhausted. Nice to find your tank accidentally on big-tank forum, only to find out you're an hour away. Cool stuff. Next time I do something with mars, hopefully I can meet ya.

Great job on this tank. fantastic.

Glad to see you made it back safely. How far is upland from Long Beach? We are making our plans for IMAC this week.
