Last I heard (which was about two weeks ago) a local respected reefer was going over to his place to check on his tank about once every week to every 10 days. Other than that, I believe his mother has been doing the feeding, etc.

As far as Tysens predicament, I have yet to hear any news from that side of the state. I would assume that he is still being held, thus the reason for no word from him. I will try and get in contact with some of the guys I have had helping us on that side of the state later today and see what they have heard.

Keep the faith...they may still be alive and well!

So anything happening with this? Are we out our money?

 

[islander84]

I think its time to throw the towel in on this one guys! Lesson learned...... Its a shame that theres people out there that can live with there self knowingly ripping people off! I hope this guy is banned from this site and many more!

 

[jtomasi]

probably not the time or place, and I obviously feel bad for anyone that lost time/money, but is anyone interested in starting a new SPS growout?

I was very surprise that SexyCoral didn't had anything to say with this. I think there still some corals missing from the shipping but just want Mike to clear thing out with us many could hook us up with something else. It's sad to see thing happen to all of us like this.

I have oregon tort, hawkins echinata, red robin stag, red dragon, pink lemonade, joses rainbow, blueberry special, purple unknown, rainbow monti, bretts purple rim monti, and a few other sps I can get my hands on. I would be happy to send some sps out to a new grower. I will foot the shipping just have someone reimburse me afterwards. Tyson lives close to me I have met him a few times but I never thought he would just go silent after his incident. Always thought he was the type to make things right. Anyways if its something you guys are open to lmk and we can do it with as little risk to you guys as possible, like I said I will foot the shipping out of pocket first so no one is at risk, just reimburse me for it later. Hate to see something like this happen! Pm is best for getting ahold of me.

No payment for the coral just reimburse me the shipping after the new grower is satisfied everything arrived alive.

If you are being serious that would be beyond awesome. I'm willing to grow them out but my tank is just now recovering and plus I just did a growout and because of my unsteady schedule in school I am unable to maintain a steady update and communication schedule, so a different reefer is probably a better decision. I believe it was islander84 we were going to try to ship the frags to, maybe he can grow them.

There is a few things missing for sure, i will have to go back and look to see exactly what but i remember keeping a very close eye on what was recieved from SC.

My tank is pretty solid right now but thats a big responsibility. I just sold my cal rx, so let me find some dosing pumps so i dont have to keep manually dosing and i will consider it. As of right now i wouldnt feel comfortable doing it, let me get a few pieces of equipment in place and we will go from there.

I need a pump for my skimmer as mine is hard starting so i took it offline incase of power outage was afraid it wont start back and burn up.....its a BB-HY3000
I need 2 dosing pumps

I just got rid of my calcium reactor and switched to two part as well. Simpler and more quiet, have not sold my reactor yet. My tank is fully recovered from a recent crash and is now growing sps but like I mentioned I get very busy from time to time. Because of this my communication is very inconsistent.

What kind of tank crash did you have? I recently had a small episode but nothing major, i had stripped my tank too clean and had a few sps and lps recede a little but everything is back strong. I was underfeeding my tank and running protein skimmer, filter sock, gfo, and huge refugium. I slowly made one change at a time and simply narrowed it down to ulns being underfed.....

You guys just let me know when you think your getting close so I can frag stuff and get it healing. I know its not the same list you guys orginally went in on but there is still some good sticks! I also have a strawberry shortcake colony I can frag that looks very similiar to the fuego from sc. Keep me posted on what you guys decide!

 

[FlowerhornNYC]

Thank you very much for doing this for us

 

[Raggamuffin]

I gave up on this in July...I guess there is some hope left after all!

I was going to grow out some as well but right now my entire frag rack and half my aquascape is covered in local grow out frags.
