WooHoo...about time!!! Amazing give away...very generous and Congrats to the winner!!!

slipondajimmy · Feb 22, 2009

Well I just emailed Cee and informed him that at this time I cannot take him up on this offer. For the most part everything in my tank is doing very well, but this would be the first real nice SPS I would have in the tank and I cannot be sure that they will do well.

I would rather this go to someone with more skill than myself. Maybe one day the new winner will remember how they got them and hook me up when I am ready.

Oh well, fingers crossed for the next drawing!!

OK, given the circumstances, I'll pick another winner! That person is:

24 hours to respond via PM please. Thanks slipondajimmy for your honesty and backing down after assessing your situation. I'd rather see these frags grow and thrive in someone's system in hopes of someday returning the favor to a fellow reefer.

Wow, whoever gets this should make sure they hit slipondajimmy for being honest about his tank up. Comon Kane720, you have 22 hours left :)

slipondajimmy · Feb 22, 2009

HAHAHA,

I am sure there are many people with experience out there and the perfect tank for them. I just did not want to have to be the guy that gives an update in 3 weeks that all of that amazing frag pack was dead.

Trust me when I tell you I really did want them. I just hope something better suited for my comes along :)

sorry , i will some pics as soon as i get a chance. i'm kinda embarrassed to take and post pics of my tank right now, because of my flatworm issue. they make my tank pics look like crap. Cee package the corals up real good and ship with extra heating pads because it was freezing in MI. I was amazed at the size of the frags. for a giveaway i was expecting smaller pieces, but Cee was very generious. when i was floating the bags, i was already getting poylp extension. the only problem was when i was trying to mount the prosrata i stressed it out pretty bad. it was glowing in the bag when i first got it but after trying to glue it to my rock and knocking it loose a couple of times. it lost its colors and started stning at the tips. after that i message Cee and he gave me sound advice and i left it be. it stopped stning and it has great polyp extension now and seems happy. everything else is doing great and keep most of their colors. after the almost disaster with the prostrata i just put most of the frags on my frag rack and let them get use to my tank. i plan on mounting them next week sometime. i will start a thread on their progress and take pics here soon. thanks agian to Cee for doing this giveaway. im still in shock and have a silly **** grin whenever i look at my great new additions to my tank. lol

Kane, sorry I missed your post from earlier and glad to hear all are doing well. Whenever I can, I like to give people bigger frags, esp. if a coral does well for me. Don't forget to "pay it forward" in a couple of months.
