Looking for Local Coral Frags - Calgary

[angelic]

Hello All,

I am looking for frags from local folk. I tried to post some people private but couldn't get it to work out.

I will be ready to put some in my 29 gal nano in a few weeks. I want to go with frags because I have purchased two beautiful larger corals in the past for my 14 gal only to have them die on me *sobs*
One was a zenia and the other I can't recalled the name of. I am very naive when it comes to reef keeping and want to go small not big this next nano until I have it nice and stable. Then I will go splurge and get a couple larges ones at RC.

I am looking for easy to keep items like Zoas? Soft corals and mushrooms and other items like these. I don't want to end up killing somethiing that I can't take care of and do not have the knowledge to give what it needs. I am the type of persons where basic is the best way to go *laugh*.

Any advice would be great and appreciated. I feel pretty green here. My life is incredibly hectic so I need to make sure not to complicate my reef keeping by going in way over my head. I am a old chick but in reef keeping I am barely at the crawing stage.

exentity, I tried pming you but I couldn't get through. Wanted to see if you could advise me on what may work for me.

Thanks very much all!!!

If you would like to drop in to Red Coral we would do a water sample test for free and help determine what your tank is ready for and help with a few stocking suggestions. We have a large selection of corals for every level full size and frags.

How about you guys at Red Coral give us in Edmonton a sale on corals. We'd drive down or you can throw it on Greyhound. Edmonton Shops have very little in terms of SPS's. PM if you can do this for us
Thanks

You should have talked to Snappy. I think he was going up to Edm today and offered to bring up frags for anyone interested. He will ship as well. And let me tell you, he has some awesome frags.

Angelic, he could probably also recommend some corals for you if you get in touch with him.

Thanks guys!!

I have had a few PM's and am getting some good ideas and help. I can use a lot more help *laugh* in the reef area.

Thanks RC on asking me to stop by. I have gotten all I have purchased to date for my reefs from you guys. I am just trying to get small frags from locals before I decide what I wantto buy big in retail. The last 2 large ones I bought died on me and cost a lot more then a frag. I just want to make sure I know what I am doing before I come by for any more corals and so on. I will stop in on my next day off for some fish and to see what you have frag wise. *sobs* have to work 6 days before next one off.

What do soft coarls and Zoes need to get nutrition wise?

Thanks

Hi Angelic, nice to see you on canreef. Pretty sure I know you from a certain alberta forum. Check out the canreef "library" for info. on pretty much any coral you an imagine. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=43 Softies do tend to be easier keepers and have less in the way of lighting demands than lps or sps. Question: did you add another powerhead into your biocube? Stock it will not have enough flow. Most people add in (on the opposite side from stock pump output) a koralia nano, koralia 1 (I tried a K2 it was too much) or if you're like me and had way too much rock a seio820 (put on directional thingie to point upwards). Just something to think about when you go to the 29g.
