Well, I think I'm going to start fragging a few more Zoas.

Didn't feel like getting the lens out to snap a quick pic. Cut some Zoas and then I remembered i had a frag plug buried in there... 4 single head, 1 double head, and 1 octo head... That's in addition to the 3 singles I already had.
That's an almost $1000 frag rack at $50pp...

That is the plan! I think, after discussing with my wife, I'm holding off on the WaveEngine and Gyre2K and gonna go with the Minnow and X2, then grab some sensors and pumps for the Hydros for now. I'm selling some of the Zoas and once I sell enough (8-10 polyps) I'm going to get the WaveEngine and 2 Gyre2Ks and upgrade both powerheads at the same time. Maybe save a little more and do the WaveEngine 2 instead of the LE in case I want to add more or need to replace the return pump eventually?
So much to think about! I need to be less indecisive but I want to do the best for my tank now and flow probably isn't a big issue currently so that part can wait.
Maybe by the Hydros group buy???

Yeah bank the zoa $$. I wanted to get something that I could use and get familiar with the app before I jumped in whole hog. I still can't figure out how to pause the gyres for feeding.

Well, there's $150 banked.
I've got another guy lined up probably for the 8 polyp and one of the Nems but I'm likely going to cut him a good deal and partial trade for some other high end Zoas. It's actually the guy I originally got the Strats from but his colony wasn't growing and he sold most of them off. He said he's down to 2 polyps and they're sad right now.

Nem is listed for $100, Strats I think I told him I was going to do $75 pp. Like I said, I'm going to cut him a deal so I'm hoping $200 plus some goodies.
Styloconiella are some of my fav corals once they really get going. I had a really cool colony of them in the old 1200

I've got a Burning Banana that's just starting to grow back after being dead and an Electric Daisy that's doing fairly well. Waiting for it to explode with growth like it did in the 125.

Went to Kona Reef (one of the LFS here) this afternoon for a Hydros Command Bus Terminator and came home with Hanna Reagent and a Hector's Goby plus the Terminator.
He was $20 and fat and happy so I figured what not?

Premium Aquatics order placed! I ordered a Minnow, an ATO pump, and some frag plugs.

Found a double head polyp of Strats that got lost yesterday so there's 2 more if they survive. They were in the process of being eaten by one of my Favias...

LiveAquaria delivery tracking says delivery today but it's being delivered to San Pablo, California... I think, not only did they forget to ship my package, but they gave me incorrect tracking information...

My Minnow is prepping for shipping! Once that arrives I'm going to start preparing for the Alkalinity testing.

Are you shipping those or local only? I'm still debating whether they are worth it or just stick with my stratocaster colony. Also looking for exospheres, so might be nice to have a caster combo... Anyway, you're proced way ahead of the competition!!
Oh, I forgot, also have a CBB and a Foxface coming, either or which might be a zoa muncher...

I'm considering shipping, yes. Zoas are usually ok for 2 days shipping and you're actually close. I'm not really set up for shipping yet though.

Looks like shipping would be around $15 for 2 days to Orange County.

Same here. I briefly worked on a bagging/heat sealing system but it kept leaking, so abandoned project. Right now I got a thermos for office secret santa I might test run for shipping once the weather improves.

Honestly, I can't imagine a zoa not surviving a couple of days in a thermos unless it hit some temp extremes. I have a defunct 13.5g tank that just sat there for a couple months (was used for observation of the pencil wrasse), and the palys are still alive despite only ambient light and only once in a while turning on the pumps for some circulation. Sensitive zoas, perhaps not, but I'll bet most can make it.
