SC's Ultimate Chalice Growout

[Dave3112]

I would be good with staying in this thread! What about everyone else? Are we going to set a cut off time to get the payments in and let the back up guys have a chance if the others haven't paid?

 

[CJO]

I think staying with this thread would be best. Right now, everyone but one has paid and he sent me a PM and told me he would pay in a few days. I'm going to PM him back to try to get a more definite timeline and go from there. The deposit was $500 for Mike to start cutting the frags, so we are well above that mark.

I've subscribed to this thread, so if it all stays in this one that's fine with me. But, it wouldn't be hard to find a new one and subscribe to that one, too. Since a good bit of info is already here about who is a part of this grow out and the various details, I think it makes sense to keep everything else, start to finish, here together.

Good news. I've confirmed with Mike that all of the money is in. Next step is waiting on 3/20/11 for the frag swap.. drainbamage- time to clear some room!

I'll get a pick up later of the My Miami frag, hopefully that'll help hold you over :bigsmile:

room has already been cleared and prepped, and have pleanty of food ready to get shoved down their mouths :xd:

 

[CJO]

here's the frag, but oh me oh my, I borrowed some LEDs to see what would happen, and I'm going to have to get you guys a pic of it, just stunning what this guy looks like with an LED popping him! Just t5s on my tanks, but after seeing the difference may be doing some LEDs in the future...

Oh, she's been eating! Takes down about 4-5 of the reef caviar eggs per feeding, has some noticeable growth going on. Been feeding my main colony as well, recently went from 4 eyes to 8 after being fed again. I picked up a Bubble Gum Monster from SDguy as a single polyp about 4-5 weeks ago (i think) and it's rocking 4 eyes now, so if it continues to grow, maybe I'll be able to toss in a frag of it, but no promises :tongue:

Ahh man I can't believe I missed this one I would have loved to get in this bargain package goodluck on the growout hope all goes well and will b on the lookout for next one

 

[xxbrianxx]

looks nice man, can't wait for the LED pics haha

 

[Dave3112]

You are still getting the frags from Mike this weekend, right?

 

[drainbamage]

Most likely, yes, but if they haven't fully healed I told Mike no reason to rush and ill just drive up and pick them up sometime this week. He said most all the frags had healed over the cut areas, but a few were not completely ready. Id rather not rush and risk any of them, but we'll see on sunday and ill keep you posted. Also need to update the MM picture as it has a second eye growing in

 

[sexycorals]

looks like they are gonna be ready guys... ill take a really close look tomorrow morning ..

As promised i told you guys that i will make it worth it for choosing SEXYCORALS as your growout sponsor for high end coral!! Here is why you should always choose us.. Im throwing in the following as a bonus to your growout!

Tyree Orange rainbows .. 2 polyps to get you guys started.. =)

a nice nice frag of my SC frozen lava.. (being Tyree anytime now)

 

[CJO]

Those are awesome! Thanks so much. Looking forward to see the frags settling into drainbamage's tank. After reading your other thread, I'm glad that he can pick them up in person.

CJ

 

[fsn77]

Incredible... Thank you so much!

 

[drainbamage]

*sigh* I just wrote up a thing about how long of a weekend I've had and how I was going to put up some pics that Ill take tonight even though I decided not to take them, but can't help it cause of how sweet everything looks- but I messed up and deleted the text :cry:

so tl;dr version-

even though I'm really really really tired and exhausted, the frags are so sweet I just have to get some pictures snapped after they're done acclimating. I won't be able to get them up till tomorrow night, but just wanted to give y'all an update- all are looking good and we're ready to get this thing rockin!

 

[CJO]

Glad to hear that they are settling in nicely. Looking forward to seeing the pics!
