Washington Corals available....LOL

[returnofsid]

Hi all!!!
We're going to be heading to Whitefish to visit Angie's Dad. While there, we're planning to invade Charlie's house for awhile, maybe eat him out of house and home...lol. We aren't sure yet if we'll be heading over June 3rd or June 10th. Hoping to have a definite date in the next day or so. Anyway, I have lots of coral frags available and figured I'd post them here. I'd be more than happy to bring over a bunch!! Here's a list of what I'll have available, along with links to pictures on my Flickr site.

Mods, if this is posted in the wrong area, please forgive me, let me know and I'll post it in the appropriate area.

Thank you Michael, hopefully you get some response here!!!!

[tehfeer]

I would be interested in a few frags but I am located in the missoula area. Which highway do you guys normaly take up to whitefish? Perhaps we could meet you somewhere on your way to pick them up

[returnofsid]

tehfeer, we take I90 to St. Regis and then 135 to 200 and 200 on up. I think St. Regis is about 1 1/2 - 2 hour drive from Missoula. Depending on how many corals you're interested in, we might be convinced to drive to Missoula and then we could take 93 up, from there. Otherwise, meeting in St. Regis would work out just fine too.

[tehfeer]

Well I have to talk to my wife but depending on if we get a frag of your LE Hot Pink Lava we would most likely buy 100-200$ worth of coral from you

[returnofsid]

That'd make it worth the drive to Missoula for us...lol. I don't think it'd really add that much time to our trip, just a different view...lol.

[tehfeer]

Awesome I will compile a list with my wife tonight

[lostcreekreefer]

Amen Brother!!!!!

[returnofsid]

Our schedule has been nailed down...lol. We're heading over on June 10th, from Spokane. We'll be swinging through Missoula on the way, and then heading up to Whitefish. We'd be more than happy to bring over lots of corals!! Anyone else interested??

[charlie]

See you then Michael, be looking for an Emergency BBQ thread here pretty quick.

[Sarmo]

Do you have any of the LE Hot Pink Lava Echinophillia left? i am interested in a frag of that.
isn't that a low light, low flow coral?

[returnofsid]

Sarmo, yes I have 1 remaining, that's not spoken for. I've kept it under 6X54 watt T5HO lighting, at the bottom of my tank. It doesn't get tons of flow, but does get a decent amount. It doesn't require high light or high flow, but does just fine when in those conditions. I've had frags of it in high light, high flow areas and they do just fine.

[returnofsid]

Charlie, looking forward to the EMGBBQ!!! Angie doesn't think Madison will want to stay with Grandparents...lol. She's still a lil shy around them, since she doesn't see them very often. We'll have to see what happens. Planning on bringing the dog along with us, will that be a problem? If so, we could leave her at Angie's Dad's.

[charlie]

We can give the mutt a try sid, I have a fenced yard for them to play in, just bring her own food bowl along, will ya, that may create some friction, but I think it will be OK
No problem on Madison man, no problem. There may be other kids around anyways depending on what goes on!!!

[returnofsid]

Alrighty!! Will bring along both "mutts" along with their food/water dishes, if needed!!
