Your welcome,who knows maybe they have change since you seem to be happy.
I prefer Liveaquaria and Blue Zoo Aquatics above all others.Easy to contact and when a worst case scenario happens,they don't harass you when something dies.

Re: Jp's 72 gal Bow

I saw that price on the sps frags and thought it was a good deal not thinking of any thing else. I will probably deal with someone else now not to take a chance. It was the first time getting frags are they usually not mounted to something? did not expect that and had to take a hammer to one of my rocks to mount them on.

Usually SPS frags don't come mounted on anything. It's up to you to take some super glue gel and stick them down in your tank. Zoas are usually the only corals that come mounted. Sometimes shrooms and ricordeas will come attached to rock rubble.

Re: Jp's 72 gal Bow

you can also pin them (gently) between two smaller rocks to keep them in place. They way, if you don't like the way they look, it is not a huge pain the the butt to move things around. that is how I treat all my corals, even SPS

Re: Jp's 72 gal Bow

Did get some ricoras at a LFS not mounted though. Was told to put in a place with not much current on a pile of rock rubble and they will attach well no place like that in my tank so put rubble in a cup with them.Bin over 2 weeks still not attached.Am I being impatient or is this just a long process?Can I super glue them some how?
Yes Dr I have my hands in the tank constantly moving stuff around. The SPS frags I put on small rocks never seem to sit the way I would like.

You can superglue mushrooms. I do it all the time. Just put some glue on their base and slap them down on a rock.

I like the natural look, when you let them just grow and float around where they want to be

Re: Jp's 72 gal Bow

Unless it's a $20 ricordea that decides it wants to be at the very back of your tank, behind the rocks, where you can't see it...

Re: Jp's 72 gal Bow

good point. luckily, my two rics are happily stuck on frags and I have placed them where I want them. they are not multiplying tho, I have had them for two months and I haven't seen a thing.
