Biff's 90 Gallon Downgrade

[Bifferwine]

I picked up 3 1/2 new things today from a guy in town that is tearing down his 220. Everything was absolutely covered in algae and aiptasia. It was crazy! I picked up a weird leather. It is thin and ruffled like a cabbage, but has long colorful polyps and the shape of a toadstool. It's weird. I also picked up a frag of armor of god palys, and a decent sized green favites rock (about tennis ball sized). The 1/2 coral is because the weird leather had a thumbnail-sized baby next to it, and I got that too.

The only thing is... The favites rock has about 30 aiptasia on it! So I smothered it in Aiptasia X when I got it home. Now I'm going to wait a couple hours and zap any survivors that come out. The amount of aiptasia in this tank was incredible!

You know how much stuff I buy off of Craigslist.. Sometimes I walk into these houses and think do I even want to take any of this stuff?:D I've been lucky so far.

Looking forward to the pics Biff. BTW very nice FTS ! You have a very beautiful tank.

Thanks David!

Hmmmmm, are you even gonna have room for those Blastos? And anything else that may be hitching a ride to Tucson?

 

[Bifferwine]

...I'll find a way, Wade!! I'll MAKE room for them. Blastos are my all-time favorite LPS.

 

[fastrd400]

I know they are. And I am ever so gingerly nursing these back to health for you. Looking a little bit better today actually.

 

[Bifferwine]

Thank you, Nurse Wade! There are a lot of corals in my tank that came as a "package deal" when I bought out the entire contents of the tank of a guy that was tearing the whole thing down. You know, ones that I wouldn't have necessarily picked out myself when coral shopping. If need be, I am not afraid to take them out and find them a new home. Cough, cough, I'm looking at you, seven colonies of seven different colors of candy canes...

 

[fastrd400]

What's wrong with that? I have the Neon Green, The Blue, and the Blue/Red.

 

[Bifferwine]

Candy canes are...kinda boring. And I have too many of them.

 

[Adrastos]

send them to me once I get my tank setup!

 

[Bifferwine]

Maybe I will post some frags for sale here. I have some stuff that grows quickly and is nice looking -- perfect for a newbie tank. I'd send some of that stuff for free, just pay for shipping.

 

[Adrastos]

only if you send in some more of that good honey you sent me for secret santa a few years back... that was goood...

 

[Bifferwine]

Ahhh I remember that! It was cactus honey, wasn't it? When you get back to the US, give me your address. I'll be happy to send you some.

 

[Adrastos]

Score! :)
