    np will. My gorgs are doing pretty well in the 125. I have a purple whip that is so happy I moved the corner frag rack out of its way and out of the tank. Finally polyped out all the way again. This gold one will be great.

    I asked my wife if I could buy it (out of respect) and she said, "Why not?! the gorgs are the only thing really thriving with the tank being off." Lol.... Thanks? How dare you? Didn't quite know how to respond.

    Confused about the last part, was that to me? That's great that the gorg are doing so well. I have never tried them. The yellow will definitely pop. I like the way the Isis will grow out. They look cool. Good buy.
    Gotta respect the wife. Happy wife happy life.

    No directed to my wife lol. Gorgs are mostly easy as long as they are photosynthetic.

    Ok, ha ha. Sounds like conversations with my wife. And my response was typical me. "What, I'm confused, are you talking to me. I don't get it."
    See I look at them and I see your tank and I want one now. You just threw off all my plans. What do I do now? So lost. Must resist. Lol.

    Take a look at coralmorphalogic who is a sponsor here. They have EcoGorgs from the carbbean. All aquacultured, photosynthetic gorgs that a relatively easy to care for and not too pricey. They sell to alot of online dealers as well.

    My first gorg came as a freebie from John at reefcleaners. It was the first time i used epoxy lol. My next gorg was an ORA Grubbe's that started off at the LFS about 2 inches. After a few months it was 5. Now its 7-8 in my tank and its pink and white. Cool Piece. I picked up a knobby ecogorg at ReefStock in Denver from unique corals I think, and then a purple sea fan (hard to get) from DD but it didn't make it. Lost it a couple weeks ago. They want perfect water and flow so a bit harder to keep.
