[andysgr]

Andy

Looks like your running out of room, time for an upgrade!

Everything looks nice...

[andysgr]

I was thinking about that Danny..but I just looked under one the Koralias and I found a spot for more.

[stoneroller]

... and the mohawks are where?





Looks great, Andy.

[gjuarez]

I like the tank, and you have some amazing corals. It will look really nice once it fills in, I would just say give the corals some room to grow, or get rid of some frags and send them my way. lOL

[andysgr]

I think the Mohawks are floating around some place in Corpus. I'm pretty much down to PPEs and PDs as my only palys.

[gjuarez]

Gotta love the purple deaths... There is my wish list, along with some nuclear greens, watermelons, army of gods and some nice deep water palys. Where do you guys get your palys?

[andysgr]

Check with Stoneroller or Mike Delgado as they are kind of the local Zoa/Paly gurus.

[gjuarez]

I am not local myself, I am way down south. I will send them a PM just to check on that. Nice corals by the way, bunch of LE. WHat lighting are they under?

[stoneroller]

Ahh, the doctor's been in the house?

[ErikH]

Hey Andy, your collection is great man!!!! Now you need some troughs, and a website!


I too am in the market for some NukieGreenDeaths! Stone, if you happen to have any, I have those ScoobyShrooms! If you forgot, send me a PM and I'll send you a pic.

[stoneroller]

PMd ya Scorp.

It's hard to believe it's just a 72 gallon tank! What are those "plates" on the sandbed you are growing LPS out on? Point? Shots?

[stoneroller]

They look more like taco shells and I see some up in the rockwork too.

[andysgr]

Those are my world famous "Taco Stone Grey Putty plates" that I use to grow out corals. It makes them easier to cut up later. Please nobody steal the nake as I am in the process of copyrighting it.

[stoneroller]

I'd rather steal the coral!! The taco shape allows it to settle into the rockwork?

[JimD]

HOLY CR@P!! That thars some purdy nice stuff!!

[andysgr]

Thanks Jim! I just try to make the shapes of the "Taco Stone Grey Putty plates" a bit irregular in shape. It does keep them from falling.

[stoneroller]

Well, what do you make them out of? Two part epoxy putty from...?

[andysgr]

Aquastick Epoxy. I'm not sure where I bought them on line. I searched and found the cheapest whatever it was. Around $8 per.

[stoneroller]

Geez.... where do you even hear about some of these pieces? e.g. Mia's pot of gold??

[andysgr]

I find all the Tyree goodies on Reef Farmers (.com). He is always adding new really cool stuff. Finding the corals for sale is another trick but I have found some good people that can often get me what I'm looking for. Check out the Mia's Pot of Gold at Reef Farmers as it is really beautiful.

[mikedelgado]

great looking corals Andy!! It looks like you really have the colors popping on your sps.Give me a call sometime ,I would love to hear about your routine. btw you are going to love that ppe chalice/favia/chavia its a stunner

[andysgr]

Thanks Mike! I would love to take all the credit but many of the corals have been photographed shortly after coming out of other peoples tanks. I have found improvements in the colors of my corals since upgrading my skimmer, adding T5 actinic and using several of the Zeovit products.

Do you also have the PPE Chavia Mike?

[mikedelgado]

sweet!, I got my piece of chavia a few months back from that richard guy. It has doubled in size so its visable to the naked eye now, 2 eyes and really purdy.
