Very nice shots! Yes they might be common but they all are great fish - very nice. Thanks for taking the time to post.

If you had the $$$$$ for just one of the Echinophyllia's below, which one would you purchase and why? I can score a small frag of the Bozooka Joe and the colors are fantastic. I have a feeler out on the Watermelon but might have to wait, not sure yet – which one would you purchase? Watermelon...

Hello, I have 250W SE and mine seems to do best mid way. The higher I place it the colors seem to fad and just not pop as much. I've found that with it in the middle the blue is very intense and the red is very nice and bright. Of course with everything your tanks lighting/reflectors etc...

SnowMan - Completely understand about the elbow grease, been there in the trenches. A buddy of mine and I had to spend a good two hours kalk pasting the heck out of them. We of course didn't get all of them but the next week I had to do it again, then the following week . . . after that etc...

I used FedEx and they seem to be the best. I order a lot of my corals and all the other companies use FedEx. It was strange though - I went to a drop off center with my package, they must have asked me a million questions. What was I shipping ( I just told them plant life), what type of...

I have a fairly large system (about 575g) and I feel it's best to do a 5 gallon water change per day. I do this so I'm not stressing the corals and fish. My parameters for the most part are the same in my water change barrel but that's only what I can test and I'm sure not all my parameters...

I had great success with peperment shrimp also but they are hit or miss. I had two tanks a 65g and a 75g. I had problems with aiptasia in my 65g and tried the pepermints - worked great. They were gone within days. So a few months later I started to have problems in my 75g, I purchased more...

JP - thank you for all your help. It went out yesterday and should be delivered today. They didn't like the sides of the plastic touching them at all as they slimmed right up when it did (touched when I was putting them into the bag). It was really hard to get them perfectly centered within...

Thanks JP! That is what I've seen and was thinking of doing, thanks for the reassurance. Note that I didn't mention the water in the above, I knew if I shipped with lots of water they most likely would get bounced around a bit. Thanks for the information in the amount of water - would about...

Euphyllia sp (One Frogspawn and one Torch), I'm also throwing in a frag of Zoas as a freebie.

Thanks JP for your input on this. That's what I'm finding most reefers are doing - No O2 and little water. I've made it very clear with the guy I'm sending these three corals to - any problems and he gets his $ refunded for the first 24 hours. They may of course take a while to open (longer...

I'm shipping a few corals to someone in the same state as I live today. This is my first live shipment and I've read numerous articles on the best practices. One thing I find very inconsistent is using O2 - some do and some don't (Most don't even mention it). I was wondering if you use O2 for...

Please don't tell my you put seahorses in a new tank 8O. Did you know it needs to cycle first?
