nUgZ's LPS Dominated 40 Breeder

[nUgZ]

Nice collection you have there.

Thanks Keith!

Dude, the Tyree Pastel War & Peace Favites pentagona and Neptune's Sunset Leptastrea are so ridiculous! Awesome scores.

Thanks! I'm super stoked about them too. I've got another Favia that I don't have a pic of yet that's amazing as well.

Well, I have a bit of cash now in the bank, time for some new frags!
And that Favites has me thinking..

Matthew

Thanks for stopping by Matthew. It's an amazing pentagona that I've wanted for quite some time.

all awesome pieces! do you spot feed at all or broadcast feed? I just got a frag of the magma chalice and was wondering if tentacles extend and if so what do u feed it?

Thanks pipebash!! I actually start by broadcast feeding a little bit to get the corals interested. I follow that up with a thorough spot feeding. The Magma will eat from time to time, but not every offering.

That Leptastrea rocks! I cannot believe I scanned right by it the other day, its something I don't see very often... If at all. Cool score!

Thanks Matthew! I'm really digging the Leptastreas right now...I've got 5 varieties currently and I can't wait for some more!!

I wonder if the big SW place in Arlington, Tx would have any of these? I do have some open room on the lefthand side of my Reef ( The mushrooms having conqoured the right side, darn!) for something new. Got a "colt" softie today, but want some LPS..

Oh come on Matthew...I wouldn't take a colt coral if you gave it to me. You surely shouldn't consider buying one. LPS all the way!!

 

[Sheol]

I needed something that can withstand the mushrooms, and this one looked good.
LPS indeed, but I need to be careful, they have to be LPS that my Bi-color angel won't develop a craving for. I meant to go to Arlington today, but my arthritis is very active & I was how would you say?: loopy on pain meds. I didn't trust myself driving. Tomorrow I'll make a coral run...

Lay off of the Vicodin Matthew or you'll end up with a tank full of Colt coral!! To each his own. I just don't keep any leathers because of the toxins they emit.

I've got a coral shipment coming next week that craps all over every other shipment I've gotten so far. No offense to those other corals, but man am I excited!!

 

[Jarred1]

[nUgZ]

Thanks Jarred!

Here's one of my newer Goniastrea's. I love it. It's similar to the Spongebob.

Thanks for looking!

 

[nUgZ]

I put a black background on the tank today...let me know what you think.

This was before.

 

[frctlimg]

I think the black background looks much better.

 

[nUgZ]

Thanks frctlimg! I like it a lot better also.

Great looking corals. What kind of equipment are you using for light and how much flow do you have?

I'm currently just running a single 150w Radium 20K bulb on the tank. I have about 66 times an hour turnover.

nUgZ: C'mon, your monopolizing every coral, especially favids, being imported lately! Seriously though, I thought you Reef was a 40gallon, that is only two gallons larger than mine, do you have room?
Plus, I really got to see anything that lays your current colonies & frags to shame! LOL.

Matthew
Keeping a careful eye on that angel, but she doesn't seem interested in the new LPS in the slightest. I don't know, but maybe Bubble coral bubbles can sting? I hope so!

Thanks for stopping by Matthew! I'm doing my best with the monopoly, but there are a lot of other guys getting to pick before me. Some things are pretty close, but I'm thinning out what I can to make room for my new stuff. Just wait buddy...Thursday is going to be amazing!! Not only are the pieces I'm getting very nice, they're nice sized for what they are. I hope your Angel behaves...
