1) take a shipping corals course
2) buy the shipping supplies
3) determine shipping and supplies costs
4) let us all know
5) start fragging and shipping to us
6) enjoy tank again

Geez, these lil brother’s constantly needing help!
 
Trying to figure mine out as well...

I looked up FedEx and it said $211 for next day just for the postage.
 
Happy Happy Birthday Parker! I hope it was a great birthday weekend!

Do you get your driver’s license at 16 where you live? It’s different in every state?

That torch is on fire - no pun intended!
I live in North Carolina.
I will hopefully get my licenses in July. That’s when my driving test it.
 
Happy Birthday Parker!

Speaking of driving, we took my daughter out for some driving lessons today. I didn't die.

Sweet! You can go to LFS whenever you want. I know, I’m old. You probably just want to be able to drive to Lacrosse practice!

Thanks big sister, Tim looked into it and shipping for a coral well under $100 is $200 not including shipping material. I wish I could ship a frag to all of you, god knows I have enough.
 
Sorry i haven’t been here. Very busy and my birthday was this weekend so i had no time to check R2R. I’m sure i have missed a lot and a hot everyone is doing good.

Tank is doing good. Still have the GHA but hopefully making progress. Most of the corals are good. The only ones that aren’t doing good is the hammer and a few zoas. It’s weird how some zoas are doing great and some not. I guess some things do better in your tank than others.


I just did a water change and tested. Here are the parameters, let me know what you think

Nitrate - 4.2
Phosphate- 0.06
PH - 8.2
Calcium - 492
Mag - around 1440
Alk - 7.2 - i know that is low and my alk bottle was not dosing so it got low. I will start dosing for it.

I get a ICP test thing and i will test my water and send it out tomorrow.

Hope yall are good
Talk soon

New torch -

Happy birthday Parker! Beautiful torch!
 
Morning Kev! Take it easy today.
Thanks Walker, up to Cleveland for a doctors appointment and then home to rest. I’m only working 3 days this week, I can’t remember the last time that happened!
 
Good morning, how is your cold? I hope you feel better today
I slept off and on most of the day yesterday so I'm not as tired feeling yet today. Hopefully it will be a mild cold and not as bad as it was for my husband. Thank you for asking.
 
Sweet! You can go to LFS whenever you want. I know, I’m old. You probably just want to be able to drive to Lacrosse practice!
I can’t wait to drive
