Hello All,
  First off I would like to thank GH, Phil and Steve H, for willing to help me out with this buy, Steve emailed me last night after I posted and said he would pick up for me, he drives the big brown truck right past my house every morning.  (BTW stop by some time)  Phil went out of her way to get GH to pick up my frags for me, TY.  I will need the weekend to know exactly what I will do,  I put a large fish order in my tank last week, another sizable one this week, and I just got an email that my clean up crew is coming in the morning, thats a **** of a load on my tank even tho its been set up for 17 years.  I will monitor my tank over the weekend and see what I will do by monday or tuesday at the latest.  I think if I do this buy it will be with Steve, he can drop off my order any day of the week on his way to his route, I will pay via paypal as I have it directly linked to my bank account, if I send you too much cash oh well, if I send you too little then email me and it will transfered in minutes.  So for now I am on the back burner with this buy.  I guess its time to trade in the standard cars and get one with an auto transmission, I was hoping it would not come to that......any way of getting an auto tranny in a 42 year old Porsche?  Didn't think so.  Spent 15 years restoring it, now can't drive it, Murphy is indeed, my co-pilot!
New additions to my tank:
sun coral
chili coral
purple starfish (its still alive)
2 true perc clowns (missed my 17 year old dead ones)
foxface lo  (dead in 2 days...again)
THEN:
5 staghorn hermit crabs
TOMORROW:
tons of inverts/ clean up crew, snails, hermits, starfish

HAGN All.
Mike.

Hey, anything we can do to help! Let us know when you're ready.

Congrats on the Sun Coral. Mine is one of my favorite animals. Just beautiful.

excellent frags !!!

Thanks Mongoose! They really are beautiful. We're very excited to be able to be offering them.

Still on back burner with this buy, checked my tank last night and things are not where I like to keep them,  I lost the foxface I just got so that might be the problem,  I will wait till Friday and test again, after all we still have a little over a week before the meeting by Friday.  What email addy does the NJRC use for paypal again?, to lazy (and hot) to look for it. 
Thanks All.
Mike.

Can we get some pics of whats left of the frags? I don't know by name what some of these things are yet.

BTW the ones I did get so far are doing good.

[Ruden]

paypal address is paypal@njreefers.org.  Anabolic just drop a line if you want us to bring them to the meeting for you.

Andy as far as pictures, there is some in this thread. However I will see if Merv has any other ones he can throw up.


Thanks
Bob

There is some of everything still "in stock". You can still pick from the photos on the top of this thread. If you need anything, just holler!

I don't know hwich is the humilis or green slimer.

[RichT]

Andy.....they need time to color up. My slimmer is just now showing its green-ness but still has a long way to go. They were under some old lights, got somewhat stressed in the move, and Merv has 65K's for growing more than color on his frag tank. It will take a little bit but they will color up.

I am officially out of this buy, my damsels laid about 100 eggs in the top half of a clam shell a day or two ago, expecting them to hatch about 11 days?  (and feed my tank) I think thats a bit of a load on my tank and I want to overt a disaster, since I am house/ dog sitting for my sister the next two weeks.   I once again thank grasshopper, pyhl and steveH for all the help they have given me with this buy and over the years, thanks guys, and gal.  On top of all this my sinus/ allergies are in an uproar, I have had a headache for 3 days now and not sure why, the only thing blooming right now is ths southern magnolia and the japanese pagoda tree, they have never been a problem in the past.  My head feels like it wants to explode (wish it would to get it over with) even my teeth and my hair hurts, go figure.  I have been eating alaverts and advils like they were cheetos!  Hope you all get what you want out of this buy.

Mike, I work for the company that makes alavert and advil.  Please make sure you follow the directions for taking the advil.  It is a very ptent drug for being OTC and can cause some problems with your stomach/digestive system if you overdose for an extended period of time.  Alavert won;t work on such a bad case, so I wouldn't bother taking it.  (And for the record it is the exact same thing as clarinex so don't bother switching to that either)  Your best bet is Advil allergy and sinus.  It packs the best punch for OTC in regards to sinus issues/allergies....

Hope you feel better!

I rearranged a few things in the frag tank, and took out unnecessary rocks and dead/dying stressed out branches. I took a few frags and placed them on reefplugs so they do not touch each other and do more harm.  Most of these will encrust in 2 weeks, so they will be ready and growing in time for the August meeting.

The club has a ton of nana, a few frags of the Smooth purple SPS and a few choice select pieces of staghorn and green slimer on reefplugs.  The Montipora and humilis I left untouched, so they are still one big colony.

I also replaced the 6500K halide in the hopes of coloring up the frags.
