It was after 11, and Sam and I noticed the Fed Ex delivery website said it was in the truck to be shipped, then just after it mentioned it was going back to IN. Thank goodness it arrived minutes later around 11:30

Sam came to my work and brought some water and containers. Which worked out great because he was able to take his and Johns frags, reducing time the task would take if I did it all at home. Thanks

Sam mentioned his tomorrow is birthday, so I hope these frags lighten the day. Wish him a Happy Birthday guys


The package was slightly wet. Although frags with double bagged, some still leaked a bit.

Heat Packs attached to top. Two packs inside that insulated foam box was not enough. The water was pretty cold. But better than none for sure. MA must be cold.

unpacking

the treasure!

Yea, definitely good sized. I didnt expect some to be completely encrusted around the plug.

I think I need a SPS break. Counted over 50 branching species

But I will let you know if we do again. ( ;

Some frags come from that tank, I have an in wall 140g (36"x36"x24") as well. Have most of the same corals in both tanks. Thanks for the compliments on the tank though.

Well deserved Scoots.

Do you find that some of the acros are burning others when they touch, or are most ok bumping into one another?

What lighting would you say are growing the corals better out of the 140 or 40?

I was thinking about starting a frag tank, but now I think I want a 40 peninsula with just my favorite SPS growing out of control. lol

I don't see much burning but a have quite a few that will overgrow an acro that is next to it. A good example in the 40B is the GARF. It is overgrowing branches of the bright blue tipped stag, the unknown purple acro and a Jesus stag that are all right next to it. My ORA Red palnet is another offender that will grow over some surrounding corals.

As for growtrh between my tanks, I would say it is all pretty even. What I do notice is different growth patterns on some corals in the different tanks.
