Eric,
I apologize again for this blunder. I was assured that they know how to pack a live specimen for shipping overnight. And, as I told you before, it was unfortunate that I was unable to make it to the store and oversee it to be sure. I'm really mad about resources wasted and that corals that perhaps could be saved stand no chance in hell now :mad2:

$920 ... just a little more will push us over $1,000.
If you want to follow it, all the donations are listed on the website: www.reefobsession.com/ecp
Cathy
Gene: I had to go ahead and fix yours...they weren't going to make it. Sigh.
Dave: your healthy one is indeed healthy.
Cathy: Don't say I didn't tell you. 2458 views...at this point, one dollar from everyone who has read this would put us where we need to be.
As far as elegance corals, I have one useful sick elegance donated, and one healthy elegance donated. Plus the three I have provided.
I'm not quite sure what to do at this point.

Don't quit Eric. It takes time to build this and we haven't even taken the project outside of RC yet.
I think it would be good to post again in the General and Responsible Reefkeeping Forums with a fresh start ... just your initial post and information. This thread has gotten long and most people aren't going to wade through the whole thing. Maybe a reference to this one in case they want to.
So you have 4 healthy and one sick, right? So you need 1 - 4 more healthy and how many more sick to get started?
It would help if RC could post an addendum on the Reefkeeping Mag article giving the info how to donate. The way it reads now is with you still saying you are in the process of setting up the fund and no information is given for how to donate.
Those of you who have already supported this, please try to help us spread the word!
Yes ... You told me Eric .... but I don't give up easily. We're still getting started as far as I'm concerned.
Remind me what you need for corals and I'll start contacting online vendors.

I'm with Cathy! Don't give up! We have too much to gain with the hopeful completion of this project. I am still lighting a fire under Danny & Walt and hopefully will be getting some corals in the near future.
Like the others noted above, I would also be willing to put up whatever monies it takes to keep the project afloat. I also know that without the donated corals, this project will fail. But just take heart in knowing that many of us are with you and will keep working on obtaining the sick corals that you need for this study.
Hang in there and we will do the same, promise!!

Eric,
I was a few days too late seeing the post of your new elegance project. I bought one and within a month it went from Elegant to obsolete. It was a shame to see this happen, I would have never bought it had I know the issues. I had seen in a catalogue that these were ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"œeasyââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ corals to keep. Hardly. I could not get mine to eat from day one. Once it started to recess. It only took two more days and it was gone. My ammonia levels shot up even though I had 0 nitrate, 0 nitrite, ph 8.2 and 5% water changes every week. Best wishes on the project.
