Steve Wright's SPS takeover

Got myself an easier method to light acclimatise
no need to handle the corals between stages, they can start low on this and I can raise it every couple of days, until coral reaches height I want to locate it




and the 1st 6 residents where also purchased














the plugs that fit these are small clear plastic plugs with a plastic cross head
and they push into the crosses cut in the frag rack

these are much less visible than the large frag plugs that many of my corals have come on
so I will be experimenting by removing some SPS of their current plugs and attaching them to these less visible ones

Steve







the usual drab suspects, but hopefully, they will colour up as well as previous additions have thus far

beautiful finds, Steve!

 

Ya steve nice corals and awesome idea on light acclimation!!

 

Thanks Larry

Thanks Dasco

I have been using 3 stage light acclimatisation, base, low rock level and then finally where I want them

my idea with this is to figure out where I want each coral, and then as I increase the height of the rack, drop the corals off once they have reached appropriate level

An in tank lift service for SPS frags

Congrats on the finds and the light acclimation tool.

 

Thank you John

its moved up 2 inches today, and the frags are doing fine
by next weekend they will be puttied into the rockwork

Steve

 

Pretty clever Steve!

And just for giggles, how's about telling us how much you paid for the new additions

 

Ok - I will amcarrig and thank you
I paid 70 rmb each for these 6 frags
which is just over 10 USD these days

Steve

 

You are killing me here Steve! $10

 

Yep
10 bucks, and its a lottery
they have a 1 price policy, whatever SPS you get, irrespective of size and type is the same price
I get an e mail from the vendor when he has new stock
I get a file with images in
I indicate which corals based on images I want
I then let him know, when I will collect
provided I collect on the day I notified, he holds those pieces for me
