do you know how big the frags are? and approx. how long it'd take based on your sps growth rates (if youre going to end up being the grower). either way though this is great man! so many growouts lately lol it's nice to see an sps one for a change

I dose nothing but fish poop for my SPS and get great growth. I also try to do daily water changes - about 1g or 2g. I've been lazy lately, so that hasn't been happening.

Anyways - this is a great growout - I'm not ready to commit, but may be in 6 months if something like this comes around again.

I'm interested. But you seem fairly new on here so ill need some background info. Do you have any references on here or another site. Do you have pics of your tank(s), what are your params(what test kits do you use), how long have you been in the hobby, a little info on your setup....? Thanks

Also where are you located and what kind of experience do you have with shipping sps corals?(references) Thanks......Are those pieces firm or is there optional replacements....i have a handful of the items that are fairly big i could possibly work something out with you to get some different items.

The terra de fuego is a very temperamental piece for sure.... If it makes it into your tank it doesn't seem to bad it's shipping that's a killer for it...:( just my exp thus far with it..... Sps would make a sweet grow out "grow fairly fast" and I would be all for it but I have all those pieces already besides 2 and I'm out of room!!!!! I got sticks growing in the sand now :( uhhhh really got to move some things lol...

I'm interesting in this grow out. How long will this grow out take (time frame)?

very fast cause ill can make big frags on most of them.. When i say big i mean you can cut it into 3-4 portion already when they arrive.. :xd::xd::xd::xd::bigsmile::bigsmile::bigsmile::bigsmile:
