    Going to be a while before I frag anything. I am planning on about 1 year grow out so I can get some good frags. One pic I didn't put up is of my Bazooka Joe Chalice. I have a line of people waiting for it down here in Hampton Roads.

    How long have you had the blue spiral? How do you feed?

    I have had it for a little over a month. I feed it daily 3 times a day with Reef Snow, and Photo Gold. I use an old water sucker for a refractometer and directly feed it. It seems to be doing fine and even has new growth. Plus my other filter feeders benefit. We will see though as some people have luck with them for many months and then they crash. I have been able to keep gorgonians when I had my 125g going some getting as big as 8" across growing from a small frag. Only time will tell.

    I love gorgs, but am going the photosynthetic route on my new tank. Might sneak in a couple NPS after a while. For about 6 bucks you can make a great target feeder with some rigid airline tubing, and baby syringe, and a piece of soft airline tubing. Its what I have been using for a few years.

    Will get it up tonight, I also have a video but shot it with my T4i in 1080p; I haven't uploaded it to youtube to be able to share it, and it is way to big to load onto the site. I also need to upload the FTS to photobucket.
