SPS for sale

I would guess it the Shades of Fall. You could probably figure it out with an email to Atlantis. These guys morph too much to ever figure them out. I will take it either way, if it's the SOF, it's a piece I have been looking for locally for a while. If it's the PL I'm sure someone would take it off my hands.

Where exactly are you located? I get to a shop up North, but I'm always afraid to mention any shops names on here.
 
That just wouldn't be right if you got a duplicate piece. (unless you don't mind)

I will mail Mingwei and ask him if he could tell me....I hope he isn't sick of it yet, and is willing to answer. You don't have to make a decision until I get the answer if you don't want to.......

I'm located near Gurnee Mills/Great America, Grand Ave is the biggest street near me.

Here is another pic from a different angle of the Large frag, not sure if it will help with your decision.

I don't really mind having duplicates of corals, but I do think the growth on yours resembles the SOF. I hate to pass it up if it is what I think it is. I would appreciate it if you could Email Ming. The piece looks good. The store I'm referring to isn't right by you, but it's an excuse to kill two birds with one stone.
 
Kathy, where did you get the blue tip tenuis? I sold some frags of it a year or so ago, wondering if it's from one of those. I've got a few pieces of it growing out now.
The frags I got from you are doing great, the pl/sof is a beauty, what ever you call it.
 
Broke: I have sent a message asking Mingwei. I hope he will answer. Thanks for the compliment, it's one of my top 5 in the tank. I can meet you near the store you are planning on going to if you like, depending on where you are coming from, maybe on your way there?

Sully: Thanks very much and I'm so glad to hear everything is doing well. I hope it continues! I got my blue tip tenius from Reefer Madness...but I think these tenius are very nice because it seems that they look consistent from tank to tank.
 
Sugar - can you provide an updated list of frags that are still avaialable? I live about 15minutes north of you so buying frags from you would prove to be extremely convienent.

Thanks!
 
Broke: I got a response from Mingwei. He looked at the pictures and confirmed I did in fact have the "Shades of Fall" and not the formerly known as...


Lubyone1: Thanks very much for your interest. As of now, all are reserved and pending transaction. I will provide an update if there are changes.
 
Hello Todd,

I've had 250 w DE Phoenix 14K for about 8 months over them in Luminarc's. I just recently switched to Helios and like them. They are mid-high in my tank, I wish it was lower so I can see a little bit of the top down kind of color. But, I'm short so mid level in my tank is pretty much straight on for me.
I think for the really nice look Atlantis gets, you should go with 20K and at the very least 250w. That's just my opinion, I think other more experienced people may be better to advise on this......
 
Thanks.

Odds are it is going into my 58 ( 2*175, 1 is an Ushio 14K, the other is an XM 20K ) Lucky for me I can put it low or high and still be able to see it from top down.

Been thinking of switching my ballasts to 250, this just might give me a reason to do it.
 
Hahaa.....switching lights/buying new lights is going down a slippery slope my friend.:D

If you decide to keep the 175, I would place it high up. Or, you can cut the piece into two and put one high and one midway to see if there is a difference. I believe it will become a darker green body with lower light, but you should still be able to retain the pink polyps (that I've read).

Please let me know how it does. If you have any trouble (you shouldn't) just contact me and I will help you out with a small piece.


Also, I wanted to thank Mingwei for taking the time to look at the pics and verify. That was nice for him to do that.
 
It looked like the Shades of Fall to me also, but I couldn't say for sure. If you would like to hold it until we can figure out a time and place to me that would be great. If someone else comes along first with the cash and it's more convenient for you, by all means sell it.

I know, that is why I have been putting it off for so long. ;) But I love the color I get from the 20K XM, but would like more bunch, so I just might have to get the 250.

I will definitely let you know ( with pictures ) how it does in my tank. Think I have a few spots to try it on, some higher up, and some lower down.
 
Broke: If you are not in a hurry to take this piece, there is another person interested and may like to get it sooner. I want to give you first right of refusal since you posted earliest. I'm not sure if you are far from the North Burbs or not.

Todd: Hahaaa.....no problem. I'm sure you will love having 250's. I would say keep the Lokani mid level and it will look better and better the longer it's in your tank. It took months before the color change in my tank and it's quickly one of my favorites. Keep the blue tip higher as well, this one holds color pretty well.
 
Hey Kathy and Todd!

Kathy... Between 8-9 would work really well for me. Before I leave my my Sisters I'll call you and then come over. She also lives in Gurnee so I'll plug in your address from there.

Todd... Once I get the coral from Kathy I'll just swing by your place to drop them off if thats still alright? (Smile) I can't wait to see your setups! A couple of people I have spoken to have said they are awesome! Knowing your propensity for being anal (like me) I'm sure they are. haha.. I think I will take you up on your offer to hold the coral until after I do the redbug treatment. That's very nice of you and I appreciate it. I really do have a lot of the evil little bugs. I will never put another un-quarintined thing into my system... Lesson learned...

I appreciate you letting me know you have critters Kathy. Unfortunatly for me I'm allergic to them but it's not that big a deal. But please don't be offended if we don't stay long. haha...

I'll call both of you tomorrow to confirm times! See Ya'll soon!
 
Oh gosh!

I forgot to hit spell check and I wasn't paying attention to things as I was spelling them. I really do not spell that bad! LOL
 
Kathy -- thanks for the suggestions. And I am know that I will love the 250's, already love the color I am getting from the right now, and sure it will only get better. Now I am really excited to get those corals, and see how they do in my tank.

Rose, and who have you been talking too? ;)
Dropping it off on your way back home works out perfectly, I will be here making sure the tanks look good. :)
And you are more them welcome, holding it for you is the least I could do, since you are picking up mine.
 
If you think you will be able to make another frag down the road, I can wait. Sell it to whoever gets you the money first. I would love to have it, but I know how these types of things work.

I'm about as far as you can get from the North Burbs. Although I am do for a trip to some shops up North next weekend.
 
Rose: I look forward to meeting you. No worries about having to scoot, I just hope you are okay.

Broke: Understood. If it's taken before you make it to a store up North, I will certainly let you know when I can break off a another piece. Are you still interested in a large piece, or will smaller do?
