Fed them last night and most responded well. Fnf Goku doesn't look too hot from the stress of shipping but hopefully it will hold on and turn around to better health. My miami, RF flamethrower, Pink flame (a little stressed) and the Tiger lily(mystery???) all ate and are looking good. The other watermelons and freebie chalice weren't hungry :( They might not be eaters but of course I'll try again tonight. Acan freebie looks great but there was a freebie sps blue hoeki that didn't make it. The stress from shipping and getting loose from the plug was too much for it. It's too bad because it was such a beautiful color. That's it for today.

P.S. I never saw the big deal about the my miami but it is a very sweet looking watermelon. The orange eyes are so bright on it. Even stressed out, it's a very special piece.

Everything is eating good and looking healthy except for the goku. There has been receding on it and I'm hoping that it will turn around and survive, the next few days should give us an answer. They are all light acclimated and will hopefully start coloring up nicely. No new growth or changes so I won't take new photos until next week when the rest of the shipment comes in. Water changes every week on Thurs and testing for ca, mg, alk, and ph on saturday mornings. That's all for now :bigsmile:

this was like a gift. I met frank when he posted a few chalice frags for sale and me and the wife whent to hisplace and met himand his family. Quickly I knewFrank was /is an honest good guy. We started speeking daily and become friends. We both agree'ed to do this grow out, my first. Grow outs are great both to meet good people and get your favorite corals cheep.

Thanks for everything Frank

No problem at all. Yeah, I was actually going to buy a few of these pieces for my own collection and was selling stuff to raise the money. That's when Bill and his family stopped by to pick up some frags. We got to talking and one thing led to another. Then a couple of days after I met lps. Both guys are really good people and I figured, what the heck. The 3 of us started shopping around for the group buy, talking every day and planning it out. Before we knew it, we brought in a 4th member (Dan) and started to roll with it. We're still planning on adding to the group buy and communicate on a daily basis. It's a lot of fun and I recommend a group buy if you haven't done one yet. Just find the right people and take it from there.

I got the perfect place. A nice korean barbeque rest. by me. Sit down, they set up your complimentery apetizers, order your beer and they cook up the beef + chicken right at your table. Delicious stuff. Only mistake that my wife and I made was ordering all our food as soon as we sat down. The meats cook so fast and were so delicious that 15 minutes later, dinner was over :squigglemouth: A little pricey but well worth it.

Thanks Mike! A few of your beauties are represented in this growout. Can't wait for the sexy pink flame to grow out (just a baby now) and the sexy rainbow party is one of my faves. I'll also be adding the sexy flamethrower favia I'm expecting from you to the list. I'm sure the guys will love it.
