Very nice! Mine has been dormant for a while. I just moved it and I may take a small frag off of it to see if that spurs it into action...

Picture dump Saturday!

Is this the spath that you picked up when I was at the Dome with you? Still alive?!

Hey Ty,
Been following your thread, awesome stuff!

I was wondering, seeing as you are clearly a master level BTA connoisseur ;Pompus. If I wanted to get a "starter" rose-type BTA, in the say (making up a number since I have no idea) $100 to $300 range, what would you recommend? And, can you recommend a good place or person from which I can order one?

I'd like to try an anemone, but I figure I need to level up a bit before trading in my car for some like yours...

Hey SkiCatTX! I've been following your progress through my thread via your likes on my posts. Glad you decided to chime in! [emoji4]

Thank you for some BTA love... I think most wandered on my build thread for the acros and will lynch me if I post too many BTA pics. [emoji16]

I'm a big fan of black widows for the price and quality. You can usually find one sub-$250. I have Mak Infernos that sell for around $400-$600 depending on size. They are both great upgrades to the usual Rose/Sherman/rainbow anemones.

I'd go shopping on the Facebook Group, Sunburst Anemone Marketplace... Good place to find all kinds of higher end anemones.

 

[SkiCatTX]

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, honestly, it took me weeks here and there to get through your thread...lol

Those pics are just beyond awesome. I think I may have found my problem. I think I have pathogenic bacteria from the large coral lost at one time. Coral frags are being nipped by a fish or something allowing infection in which kills the coral from the tip down. I have Fritz turbo start in a reactor to add non-pathogenic bacteria to hopefully out compete the pathogenic bacteria. Fingers crossed. Cause I wanna grow up to be just like @FarmerTy when I grow up. LOL

hi

I was wrong in the assumption above. I've fighting cyano for a long time. I would knock it back only to have it return worse. I ended up using chemi clean to get rid of it. And now all the corals a thriving. I picked up some acros, and are doing great.

I quoted myself. I didn't this was possible. Lol

I want a frag, just not at $400 ;Woot
