Help...FREE Corals!!

I thought about temporary housing at my LFS in San Diego, but then I know a "chunk here" & a "nugg there" would soon start to mysteriously go missing from the pieces.

+1 on not keeping them in the rubber maid too long, unless you invest in the right equipment in order to make it a long-term thing.

Why not to plumb a bare bottom prop tank into your sump or dt and house them for a while until you figure something out?

worst comes to worst you can just ship them to me and i'll pay shipping

 

I wouldn't mind some palys. You should think about shipping some to fellow 3 reefers. We would pay of course.

 

I once ordered 22 corals and was like....oh no....where am I going to put all this stuff.....that was right after getting like 13 from someone else.

I packed things together really close on the rocks in my tank...I had to because I had no room.

Cant you throw a bunch on them on the sandbed for now....

Better yet....buy a piece of eggcrate and make a bunch of temporary DIY frag racks and host them all there for now. That buys you time to really study where to put them and what to do with some!!!(donations always welcome);D

 

why is everyone bashing the rubber maid container? i kept mine in there for like 3 weeks while in transition once. as long as you keep your parameters in check they will be fine. It's just a container.

 

sounds like your in for some fun

 

you send them to me silly lol! setup another tank!

 

Wowzers, that's a nice little dilemma you have there. "Too many nice corals".

I'm in favor of either a temporary housing like a rubbermaid, or permanent relocation of chalices to my tank

 

OK guys, thank you very much for the ideas. Maybe a combination of all: eggcrate rack in tank, temp rubbermaid, possibly frag some nice chunks & give away rest?

So, how would the rubbermaid setup be? I've always got cured LR in a tub.

 

Hey if you dont have room you dont want the corals to suffer, so you should give them to us for free =D ahah
