November Swap Meet - Kelowna and Area

[Starry]

will update what i have next week when i get home from work. tues or wed.

Now that Hwy 97 is open again I should be able to make this swap. Does anyone have a sea hare they want to part with? AJs in Vernon has one but it is ~3" long. Not sure that I have enough algae to keep a hare that large.

Alternately if I pick up the sea hare this week and he has done his thing by the time the swap comes along is there anyone that I can pass him along to?

I should also have a frag of pulsing xenia and a couple of zoa frags to bring along.

5 - Purple Acro Frags (Most very tiny, 2 fair sized frags)
2 - Birdsnest Frags (Tiny, however 4 frags per plug)
1 - Green Encrusting Monti (on a rock about 4")
1 - Brown, branching encrusting Monti (on a rock about 6")
1 - Light Green Button Polyp (3 heads)
1 - Dark Green Button Polyp (10 heads)
1 - Unknown SPS Frag (4-5")

Well looks like the frag swap will be a week to late.

I had some issues with my lighting and hydrometer...lost just about all of my SPS, basically over night.

Still have a few things but no Acro Frags from me

[brizzo]

Doh!

I'm going to be bringing:

Red Montipora Capricornis (1/2" to 1" frags, mounted)

Brown Bird's Nest (May color up, each mounting has 2 pieces about 3/4")

and 2 more frags of this, which I don't know what it is, but all those fuzzy polyps are bright green under actinics

Looks like some type of Porites. Nice looking piece.

Really sorry to hear this. Enlighten us as to what happened. I can't seem to put together a scenario where lighting and hydrometer work together to cause a crash.

Well...

I needed new bulbs as mine were quite old and weren't strong enough to support my SPS corals. It took me longer than I thought it would to replace the bulbs, so they weren't getting the light that they needed.

On top of that, I was using a Coralife Hyrdometer, which was giving me faulty readings. My SG was reading 1.026 but turned out to be 1.031.

I blame a combo of the two for my RTN issues. All my other levels are decent (Nitrate under 5ppm, Phos 0.25, Calcium 420, dKH 12)
