Two FREE large Acro Colonies for the right tank

[Armando]

I no longer have room for two of my acro colonies. One is a Green Acropora humilis and the other is an Acropora Divaricata. They are nice large pieces red mites free.

If someone is interested AND have good conditions for SPSs (250W plus, calcium reactor, etc) post here. No PM please. I don't have and won't have pics. Must pickup during the weekend. Not first come first serve, i'll choose who takes it.

i'll take them. they would be going in a 125 with 3 250W hqi, reactor and the other goodies.

i forgot about the tunze streams

Armando,

I have a 180 with 3 400W HM14Ks but since it's time to change my lights I am going to replace 2 of them with 250s. Though I've gotten several frags from Greg, Bec and auctions that are doing very as well as a Haddoni that has doubled in size, it's still kind of barren.

I don't use a reactor, but drip kacl and Bionic. Everything is doing well. Though several frags have more than trippled in size they still tend to get lost in a 180. I would love a nice show piece that could be the center of at least one end of the tank.

Well I will get in line as well :) 2x250 on a 75 and a CA reactor, pleanty of room and pleanty of flow if needed

[TheUltimateNoob]

dang it! i think i'm too late. but i will put my name down. i have good conditions. :)

[TheUltimateNoob]

btw, that's awefully nice of you armando.

[dima96]

armando, in thinking about this offer overnight, why not donate these acros to the club and auction them off. i think this would be win-win for everyone.

[Armando]

Dima, interesting idea but this is more an adoption sort of thing. I want to be able to decide where the corals are going and know they are going to be taken care of.

Corwin a 180 will be a great place for the Divaricata. It's a gorgeous piece and you need more than frags in such a large tank.

Dima the Humilis will be happy in your Tunzed 125G, they like water flow.

So guys if you want to take them let me know when you want to pick them up.

[shearwater]

I'll take them Armando. They would be going into a 2 gal bucket of Merrimack River water under a 25 Watt night light. Did I mention that I keep the salinity very low because my dog also needs to drink from the bucket?

How am I doing, am I in the running?? ;)

[TheUltimateNoob]

dang it.......

nice pair of leopard wrasses dima! wait. those are leopard wrasses in your avatar right?

[Ray]

Hey when you 2 get the corals could you post pics? I am just interested to see them :)
thanks

[TheUltimateNoob]

i'm just interested to get a frag. haha. j/k maybe :)

[Corwyn]

Armando,

If I remember right, your on the southshore?
I'm going to be in Salem, NH tomorrow.
Then I have to make a stop at Bunker hill and after that at south station.

Let me know what's good for you. If tomorrow doesn't work then Thursday, or next weekend.

[dima96]

peter, yes they are leopard wrasses

[TheUltimateNoob]

sweet. that's a very nice looking pair. i'm jealous. :)

Large Acro colonies don't usually adapt well to new tanks. Why not bring the colonies to a meeting and we'll chop the whole thing up and distribute to anybody you think could keep it alive? A lot more likely that some piece will survive, IMO. FWIW, A. gemmifera has a VERY low survivability rate in tanks. Needs SERIOUS water flow.

[littlep93056]

i'll take them , the other piece i bought from you is doing great but i need more pieces

[dima96]

the acros have been gone for a very long time.
