Wow just saw Patricks tank on AP, he most definitely needs to post here!

I think Darryl needs to take and post some pics too when he has time, every time I see you have posted in this thread, I can only hope it is with updated pictures.

The perfect storm....

Miami Hurricane

Also my first success at growing a colony of chalice from a frag.

Awesome! Well done! Congrats! You got talent in growing frags Darryl. Now just grow that kryptonite torch and put me on the list for a head of that beauty!

so how do you get it to form a perfect circle?  That looks awesome.

That chalice is SWEEEEEET!!!!!  8) Mine has finally took a turn for the better after I scraped off all the exoskeleton from the receeded areas. I have noticed some growth now. Nothing compared to your colony though!

Salty, he uses travertine tiles that he cuts into circles. It works great for a lot of different corals.

Thanks.....  I will give that torch a pep talk but it doesnt seem to be a crazy fast grower that is for sure.  I do happen to know someone with a bigger colony though...cough dwayne cough...

so how do you get it to form a perfect circle?  That looks awesome.

Start with a frag and grow it on a round frag disk.  People in the US seem to do this quite often (they are much better at aquaculturing of chalice).  It's not a very natural look but I love it....

That is great to hear Derek.  You got a steal if that thing turns around.  You will love it.!

First off how did you do multi quote, I feel stupid now as I made 25 new posts last week responding to people
Second it makes me sad that my torch is the most asked about coral I own
Third that chalice is awesome ! Mine is a POS compared to that

 

[Neopimp]

You need some hermits in there

 

[Darryl_V]

A couple of up and comers......feels like I've had these frags for ever though (they started real small at least 1.5yrs ago)

Also a couple randoms

 

[spyd]

:drool: Those frags are awesome! That 2nd one down looks like it is going to be absolutely amazing!

 

[BIGSHOW]

I like the first one, its awesome!

What type of coral is the third? I got a few of those in my last Aussie shipment and haven't really tried to identify them.

 

[unibob]

Did you do any shopping for your tank at Christmas Darryl? Any eye candy you purchased for your tank?

 

[rowdy29can]

Looks fantastic as always! Great pics! Cheers!
