Apparently FedEx screwed up and never picked up the shipment in ON so they sent it to WestJet, which means "lucky" me gets to drive out to YVR late morning to pick up our group buy from the warehouse. Thought my wife would be able to do it but she's busy with work so after working all night editing papers, I'll be heading out there. Yeesh, this is what I get for being a Dendro addict (as my friend Rishu pointed out).

I will post on this thread when I'm back with the corals.

Corals are here and ready for pickup from my sump. Call me at 604-868-5553 when you're ready to swing by. Been up all night so going to crash for now. Have some people coming around 4-5pm but not sure about the rest.

First GB member picked up. I'll be available at home all night, with my children to meet & greet (BTW, Felicia insisted on the last phrase)

Well everyone has picked up their corals from this GB. I'm very pleased with my new Dendro (the polyps were already opening up late last night) and look forward to hearing what the others think of their new corals.

Default So far

Well so far not so good actually. The Orchid Dendros still have no sign of polyp extension whatsoever. I'm obviously hoping that changes soon. I might try tempting them out with a feeding attempt. The Ultra Blue Lobo was at first very blue but has already lost that and is now purple. I'm hoping this is just a light intensity or location issue as I would really want the blue color back. I have it on the sand bed for now in a slightly shady area. Advice or thoughts appreciated...

Hey Phormium,

Try turning your lights out just a few hours earlier and the dendros. Lobo move a little more back into to a cave like area or off to the side for a bit and then back out into more light gradually.

Keep me posted

Dave
