Thanks guys, you know I'm trying my best over here. It is a little frustrating sometimes and a lot of work. Glad to have the local support on this growout. It really helps.

Reefkoi's Red Rimmed Chalice has arrived healthy and he threw a freebie! Both are very healthy and the red rimmed looks fantastic! Too bad you're missing out on this one Jai ): I'll post pics later on today.

Chris at Reefkoi sent a golden eye chalice freebie along with his Red Rimmed chalice. Almost no stress at all. Retained it's brightness and the eyes are extremely wicked! I didn't get a good picture of the golden eye but managed a decent red rimmed pic. I also added the original picture that he sent me. Hope he doesn't mind :)

As you can tell from the pictures, it retained most of it's color, even though stressed from shipping and heat.

dude I really dont think ayone else could do a better job than what you are doing. I know that you have hours of work into this grow out when the other guys like me are resting. I truly appreciate all your dedication and devotion to this grow out.It means a lot to me and its good to know Im in good hands.

no updates from me. everything has slowed down after the fragging. only 2 pieces that have me worried are the bay corals planet earth (still in recovery mode) and dnov's setting sun (in the shade, very white and thin). I hope with some time, they will both bounce back. The inferno is also still recovering but looking better. Still feeding regularly, this weekend I did my usual cleaning and maintenence and yesterday I did a 10% water change.

Setting sun looks worse. Disco inferno still recovering and orange immolation steady and starting to color up very slowly. All other pieces are doing well but no changes. I believe all the fragging a couple of weeks ago messed with the water. I did several water changes and put in new filters but the corals aren't as happy as they were before the cutting. The only piece worrying me is the setting sun but as I've said before, I've seen pieces in worse shape before and have brought them back. It might take a couple of months but as long as it lives, I'll be happy.

Latest two beauties arrived today. A little stressed and slightly discolored but absolutely bright and amazing looking. I took some pics (blues only cause it's late) and will officialy add to the growout. Everyone is in on these two so enjoy the pics. also an updated picture of the planet earth. Everything is stable and looking good except for the setting sun. I will be doing a large photo update next week with all the pieces so you guys will see why i'm so worried. anyway, lets focus on the good news and enjoy the pics.

Planet earth stable, still recovering
