Sorry if it's been answered, but where did you get your ignitus anthias?

Live aquaria.

They are the most amazing anthias. I wanted to get them through my LFS but they had no idea what I was talking about. I have never seen them in an LFS here in the Orlando area.

Full adult size is only 3"

chris -

thanks i actually just found his thread - some amazing pieces! maybe we could do a group buy of sorts to save on shipping! i will shoot you a pm on dfwmas.org - thanks.

gm

You don't have to do a group order to save on shipping. All you have to do is spend more than $300. With what he has it is VERY easy to do.

I won't get my corals from him till late this week because we have a hurricane rolling through here tomorrow and Wednesday so no FedEx service. :mad2:

Thanks. I am hsitant to order from LA since I can not request specific gender and I already have a male in my tank.

I cant see them shipping more than one male. Thats just asking for two fish to kill each other.

So if you get one male just take it to your LFS for credit.

I got all females FWIW
 
Update,

I got my "copps" shipment in today. They look good so far, a bit washed out in color but that works well with my other corals since they are still colorless after my accidental hypo salinity incident.

Yellow tip pink prostrata & Copps Blue Milli

I also got a Highlighter green plating monti and Purple satin porites that I didn't take pics of.

Couple FTS
And no, that is not my PBT. He will be out soon, just holding him.

I am so glad FedEx didn't cancel flights today. With 6 corals sitting in a terminal somewhere it could have been ugly.

This is a video of the tropical storm outside right now. Its the second time the same storm has hit us. It went across central Florida out into the atlantic. Stopped and reversed direction and came right back over us.

These are sustained winds of about 40 to 50 mph with gusts a bit higher than that.

 
Looking great!! Prostrata is very nice, wish I'd picked up a piece of that too...

Got my stuff from Copps tonight as well (pictures tomorrow)... I ended up with 11 frags when you include the two freebies... ran out of money before I ran out of things I wanted :lol:

Copps’ turquoise hoek
Copps’ milli
Solid blue stag
Solid blue tenuis
Purple edge plating monti
Lime PL mimic (I'm gonna call it Copp's Limeade)
Bright green Montipora spumosa
Bright green bottlebrush
Tyree Idaho grape monti
Highlighter green plating monti (freebie)
Yellow Encrusting Porites (freebie)

Bottlebrush and all 3 Monti Caps were much larger frags than I expected for the price... very pleased, and if he's still selling in a few months, he's going to get Octobers coral allowance as well :D

When I saw the PBT I heard the theme from Jaws for some reason :rollface:

OH!! And where's the pic of your hoek???

Holy crap cheif. Did you drop a grand?

LOL, the PBT was a rescue from a VERY dirty system. She needed some TLC. She has done extremely well, eats everything that goes in the water and follows my hand around while I rearrange corals. I have to stand in spots literally for 10 or 15 minutes waiting for her to move so I can take pics of corals. VERY personable. I'll miss her when she's gone. I'm suprised the tang police haven't gone crazy with it yet, even though I'm just holding it.

Ooops, forgot to post the hoek. I already had it hosted too

Nah, just enough for free shipping... everything was at the value he posted, no XXL frags on my part :D

He really took care of you... all my frags are nice sized, but my hoek is only one stem... my milli is about 3 stems (say about a third as big as yours) the bottlebrush could make probably 3 frags and the plating Monti's at least 2 each... and everything else is a little above average... John definitely gives value for $$$

I'll post pics to his feedback thread and post a link here tomorrow after work

Keep your head down and stay dry... you guys have it rough down there right now for sure!!
 
I can't belive I'm doing this.

I just ordered two tunze 6100's with magnets and controller along with an online order for a rimless 120g starfire tank.

I've had this MRC tank set up for just a matter of weeks and I'm already upgrading????

I've got to stop drinking beer and surfing reefcentral. I've got quite a few in me now and I got the guts up to paypal for the Tunze's and submit my order for the tank.


SIGH

Looks like a normal day in South Dakota. Gotta love windy prairie

wow!! are you going to shut down the cube tank??? come on, don't keep us guessing here!

That is correct.

I just paid for my new tank and it will be built in the next 3 weeks and delivered by the end of the month

Standard 120 dimensions, 48x24x24 in starfire glass. Rimless.

Do I get ejected from the shallow reef club?:(

funny!

sounds like it is going to be great! are you going to sell the 40 gallon cube?? if so, put me down for it :)

Yes I am selling it.

Make me a decent offer
 
Wow, I've recieved a crazy number of PM's about buying my old tank. Some from different parts of the country asking me to ship it to them!

I didn't really intend for this to be a for sale thread nor have I started one but just as an FYI it appears the tank is sold already.

Thanks guys!
 
congrats - i wish i could get it, but, with shipping it is too hard for me - thanks.

when does the new tank arrive!!
