Looking for interest in a grow out!

[islander84]

Looking for people interested in a growout. Open to options.... would like to stick to acros and chalices. Lets see what kindof input comes through then if we get enough interest we will start a new thread based strictly on that growout. Thanks! -Gary

Throw some ideas out there guys im open to any ideas. Not a huge fan of acans but keeping an open mind. Chalices are fine i grow them well with excellent color! Acros, the only way i will put them in my tank is if they come from a 100% trusted source! Been there done that not going there again! My tank is pest free and id like to keep it way! . The only way i will do this is if im the grower! I am a respectable business owner and excellent reefer! Ask all the questions you want and ill be glad to answer . Lets get some ideas kicking around and see what we can get going!

I'm definitely down for some sick chalices and acros. I wouldn't wanna grow as I'm still fairly new and would definitely like to leave it to someone more experienced. What kind of set up are you running.

Most all acros are fairly new minus 2 or 3 pieces. All lps have been in there 8 or 9 months.... pink chalice came in as 3 eyes i split into 2 pieces...green one came w 1 or 2 eyes....

 

[AsphaltPays]

Very nice.. Looking forward to some pics
Maybe a Rainbow chalice I have been reading up on them and it seems like they are getting some good growth out of some and maybe some SPS for the grow out ? I am open just don't want an all chalice grow out they take forever I am in one now and it's over a year later and we are half way threw

I know these are probably old by now but probably a lot cheaper than they used to be.... but maybe tangerine dreams, flash bomb, my miami, crazy fox, flamethrower, pink *******, mummy eye,......i havent really looked around to see who all has what but i looked at battlecorals he has some pretty nice acros and reasonable prices, sexycorals has nice chalices but prices are up there.... might be able to find hobbyist with some pieces for better price or maybe vendors will cut deals on multiple items.... mike said he would hook me up since the sexy sps growout went south!

Too late to get in on this guys? Involved with 2 grow outs here. Palys/Zoas and a chalice grow out.. No preference, as long as its something different and everyone doesnt have. What about M&M? He's got most of the big name stuff..

 

[islander84]

Hey paul, you are still good. We are just gathering interest at the moment, and the order will be as it comes through the thread. Once we determine what we want and what it will cost we will determine how many people will be joining. I think you are the 4th or 5th one to post so your good. We are focusing on mostly chalices and acros....

 

[Thamastachef]

Crazy fox! I want! Lol

 

[islander84]
