I got these from Fab1971 around 6/20 and split them with Bigjohnwoody who is on this forum as well. Just wanted to say if he ever has anything up for sale his prices are great. He has quite the chalice collection and he is a great guy to deal with. He also hooked up up with a lot of freebies.

These are in a 150 gallon tank on the side. I have an 8 bulb T-5 ATI PM with the following bulb combo.
ATI blue plus, purple pluss, blue pluss, purple plus, aquaspecial, blue plus, purple plus and coralplus


Here are a few of the chalices when I originally got them. I didn't take pictures of all of them as I had them shaded and couldn't get a good shot:

I'm not sure of all of the names but hopefully Frank will chime in and let me know. I did not realize how much they have grown:

The Orenji seems to be the slowest growing of the group:

Looking awesome Emerald! Widowmaker and the Banana Banshee are so sick. Start force feeding them:wink:

Yes I think the Widowmaker and the Banshee are my favorite. That blue rim is amazing. I feed them once a week John! :). I also like the first one. It has colored up nicely.

Those chalices look phenomenal! Great start to a grow out and great choice of a seller to get the chalices from!

I have to ask how do you get such perfect colors out of your Banana Banshee? Mine is brown with yellow eyes. No red and no blue.

Thanks! The blue rim is really amazing. I'm not sure why. I seem to get the best coloration in the lower par. If you look closely in the picture below I have them on a rack so that they are not bothered by hermits and other tank in habitants. The last time I borrowed a par meter the par was about 215. My lighting is all t-5s and I put the bulb combo I use in the first post.

Update

Just an update John! These were fragged a week ago and are healing well. I will let them heal another week or two and then you should be getting an early Christmas present!:bigsmile:

The Banana Banshee probably was the most stressed and lost a little color but it is coming back now and looking great!
