Here's another PM I sent to those that asked about my tank last week..just so you guys know a little about me..... working on the antisocial part :}

I apologize for the pm, but I'm not a very public person... even online. Antisocial Programmer by trade. I've been reefing for at least 8 years now, but will never claim to be an expert. I've been involved only in successful grow outs to date, so a little nervous stepping up to help you guys out on this one.

My tank... is a mixed 90g SPS, LPS, and zoas. I'm running 2x Ecotech Radions with 2x Mp40esW. I've run IORC forever (1025) and do 20-30g weekly water changes religiously. I run GFO and GAC in separate TLF reactors, changed monthly. I have an ASM G3 Skimmer. Tank is kept between 77.5-78.5 with a JBJ True Temp heater, and I pull out the chiller in the summer. It's been said my sump is cleaner then most people's tanks (clean freak). I feed my corals once a week before water changes, fish 2-3 times a day (anthias). Eheim return pump. TMI?

I'm not sure how long I'll be involved... but I do take a lot of pride in my tank. That being said, I'm praying i can help turn things around for you guys.

Current chalices.. BPC FlameThrower, My Miami, 3G, and Tyree Red watermelon.

For the right price I will take a place and may offer a frag as well. I'm local to Rayzback as well.

I can only speak for the 4 in my tank: Everything that was given to me alive is still alive. A little progress... as much as could be expected from the shape they arrived in anyway. I think I've had these a little over a month now... most of that time spent in low flow, shaded areas. simply trying to keep them alive.

I'm head to the house now, will post more later tonight. You might think about combining these two rescue attempts into one thread. Just a thought.

What's the other rescue attempt thread and how do we make them one thread?

The other rescue thread is Ktar's Dynamite Chalice Frag Pack Grow Out.

There is a reason why another rescue thread has been created.

I'll give you one guess who was the original grower.

Hi Guys

I still have the Cosmic Wonderland in my tank and it is doing great. I know Ray and I have been working a lot lately. I will try to see if I can get together with him this weekend so I can get you an update.

The last he text me the 3 dynamite, flash bomb and atom bomb I believe are still all alive.

Rack City Dead
Firebella ?
Merlin ?
