The Twins Aquarium thread

[Jacob D]

I figured why not start a thread to give Twins some exposure. John's our only major source for coral locally and hooks us up with the best prices around; he deserves it. If you see anything interesting over there throw a post up and let the rest of us know!

Blastos are in again. There were several colonies that had been there a week or two. Like your typical Blasto wellsi these days, most of them didn't look too good but there were a couple of colonies that looked very healthy. I almost bought them, but I have my money spent elsewhere right now :\ John said he will have some more coming in a couple of weeks.

I also saw some pretty decent looking scolymia's for those who like them. Orange/teal/grey striped. All of them looked healthy.

I was in there the other day and he had some nice bright green hammer coral. And some decent orange zoa's.

I haven't check recently but the last time I was there, he had a 120?125?? used for sale. It had dual overflow, stand, and three DE halide hood w/actinic for 700.00. I think a sump and return pump was included in the deal.

That set up was still there when I went last monday.

 

[lanxang]

setup is gone as of today.

 

[Bdimas]

Did you buy it ???

 

[GorillaReefer]

john's got some real nice ricordea in today.

 

[lanxang]

Bryan I didn't buy it, it was another customer.

I'll go check out the yumas today.

 

[GorillaReefer]

johns got blasto. picked one up, reall nice. already opened. it has 8 heads on it. purple with green center.

 

[lanxang]

did he move them to the top tank already or are they still on the bottom?

 

[GorillaReefer]

they were on the bottom still. i heard you got some nice ones.

 

[lanxang]

They were nice. Right now I have five morphs of welsi and three morphs of marletti.

 

[Jacob D]

"They were nice."

Were? What happened to them? Hey how are you acans looking? Did you get any more of them yet?

 

[lanxang]

they went into a huge tank. I bought three colonies. Red w/ green ring, red w/ green center, and a rock with 10+ heads. It looks like it might turn out dark maroon once it colors up. I might drop by again to see how the rest are doing.

The acan is getting bigger compared to 5 days ago. I've been feeding them everyday.

I blame you, all I have bought now is LPS. Blasto and now acans. I'm on the look out for more.

 

[Jacob D]

"I blame you"

Yes yes.. come to the dark side What's this about a huge tank? Did you pick them up for Jesus?

 

[lanxang]

I was going to put it in my tank but I don't have anymore space, maybe for frags or something. I need to setup the other tank but just don't have time.

LPS are so easy to care for so I'm drawn to them more. The only thing I need to do now is to get rid of the RBTA (can't believe I'm saying that).

How the sump doing now?

 

[Jacob D]

What sump? Oh you mean the one I have to put in after work today, before I pack my suitcase to go on vacation I've got it ready to go in, will only have to do a minor temporary mod on my overflow plumbing, and slightly tweak my return plumbing... I'm hoping it goes in smoothly. Lots of work to do when I get back though.

 

[lanxang]

if you haven't found anything yet, look on craigslist. I saw a bunch of acrylic tanks on there.

Enjoy your fishing.
