[Canadian Man]

Well it seems like eli dissapeared so i will take it upon myself to try to convince my fellow Calgarians to trade frags with me and others.
I have frags currently availiable of colt. and am looking to trade or purchase others frags of the soft and hard variety [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Hey great to hear a reply! The color is a light purply color. I have 2 frags about 2.5 inches tall i believe 1 on rock and one on a shell. i also have a single pod they droped that is really small. i would sell the 2 larger ones for $20 each if that is reasonable? Where do you live?

hey,

I'm in lake bonavista.....u?..that does sound find for frags, i am really interested, but i feel i should get my halides first, before i get any light loving corals (right now i just have red shrooms, gsp, and a tiny bit of xenia). I am hopping to have the halides up and running in about a month or less. would you mind holding on to them for a bit?....

I am in Evergreen.....beside Bridalwood. so pretty close.
What type of lighting do you have now?
In my 90g( 24" high) they are under 450w of overdriven NO bulbs. they used to be under 8 No bulbs which was about 250 watts. So depending on your lighting they may work but i would not mind at all holding them for you. they will just be bigger when you get them [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] I have only had this increase in lighing for about 10 days and man the corals are loving it! i'm very happy i did it. any way shoot me an email if you want, i would love to see your tank!

hey,

right now i just have 4 crappy no's over a 80 gal tank (4feet x 2feet hight x 16inches deep, i think). that would be awsome if you could hold the frags, hopefully by then i could frag my gsp's, red shrooms, or button polyps....all are kinda small right now, but it a bit u never know..Being a college student, money is a little low right now (with school being so busy) so i am hoping for the reflectors in a month or so...But if you wanted to trade with someone i know delphinus is looking to trade, try him. if you have pics, i would love to see em.

I don't think colts are too light demanding. I had a colt that started as a 1" piece that under 4x40W NO, pretty much grew itself out of the tank (at least 16" or so) within ... I think it was about two years. It wasn't purple though! Kewl! It was kind of orangy.

[spikehs]

well, in light of that info maybe i can, as i have a ledge thats right at the top where i could place it for the mean while.....delphinus, had any luck getting anyone together to trade frags??

[Canadian Man]

Like i said earlier dont mind holding them for you at all. in regards to lighting have you herd or read the threads about overdiriving NO bulbs. i only mention this because it is what i am doing?
I dont think you would have a problem though. i agree with delphinus as they are not very light loving.
Hey delphinus The 75g tank cleaned up very nicely. used a razor and scraped the paint off the side and re siliconed some of the joints.
Cheers guys! [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
