im currently growing some PD frags for sale in couple months but im in UK....

which part of uk?? and how much??

Wow they have spread to the UK already? Man i bet these have to be the best cultured coral ever. I would have never thought it when i first found them.
I am glad they are grown so much. Nice job on growing them out berns!!

the UK is way behind in terms of zoa craze but its started now and rolling along slowing but nicely, theres a few now suppling a bit of more colourful stock, nothing like what you lot have got but hopefully ill help change that in time

im into culturing in a BIG way and i mean truely cultured stock..... i grow small colonies in one of my props (mother prop) from just a couple polyps and then use these colonies to start a run of next generation frags, while the frags grow the mother colony also re-grows for the next fragging session at a later date..... totally cultured zoas/palys.

i guess ive currently over 60x morphs (most never seen in the UK) in various stages of growth so theres always plenty coming through at any given time, its very addictive with the challenges of some morphs (i cant get my pink elephants to grow more then two polyps a month lol) but thats all part of the fun aswell

yes its very rewarding too but without doubt my biggest thrill is being able to spread beautiful morphs across the uk...... eg. there must be 40+ tub's blue colonies growing in UK aquariums because of just around 10x polyps i received 18 months back (and the next 10x frags of 5-8 polyps are nearly ready

Can you post some pics of your setup? Maybe you already have and I should do a search.

maybe you can start a thread on the member's tank forum to keep this thread on the right track...

purple deaths are real beauties. i have a knockoff which still has great color, just not as rich as a real purple death
fast growing

 

[Eklikewhoa]

Mine turned poop brown after being moved to the new tank which has a lot more lighting and flow.

Right now they are about 2' from 250w 14k phoenix. They reproduce like crazy so I plan on fragging to move them around.
