[Nano-Newb1983]

well today was a good day and bad day.

Good part is i pick up a bowser poly for $25, but i get home and both my utter chaos frags melted away.

I dont understand, they were perfectly fine lastnight. Everything is in check and all other corals seem perfect

Side note:
I will get pic of bowser as soon as it open and happy

[larryandlaura]

Great deal on the Bowser sorry to hear about your utter chaos. They have Bowsers down here for $30!

[Nano-Newb1983]

yea it sucks i lost the UC, i will eventually grab one again sometime. Too bad it had to be my fav to go :(

[larryandlaura]

Troy has them you may know him as bluwc lol!

[bluwc]

As soon as I can get a clean cut on my UC, you will get it back =0)....free of course.

sweet, thanks man.. I dont get why they both just melted away.. Everything else in tanks open and lovin life

[bluwc]

NP man, it's what's reefing is about (or at least should be)! You gave me mine, so not a second thought on my end...you get them back first before I sell any. That sucks that they just melted, but you'll get another colony soon. I will see if I can get a cut so hopefully they will be ready for you for the meeting.I guess it's a good thing you have your corals in other people's tanks =0).

[Nano-Newb1983]

that awesome troy thanks alot man

[larryandlaura]

Any updates Mark?

[Nano-Newb1983]

nothing exciting really, just cut some frags for the swap

Also been thinking on converting my tank into a 125gallon lol. Nice 101 gallon jump

I keeping my eye peeled for a nice cheap tank stand and sump
