chalices

I don't see what all the hoopla is about. That being said, I have one and it is growing all over the rock it is on. Can I just peel it off?

 

I loved my blue chalice. Such a great pop of color.

 

No, you'll have to cut it off the rock with a Dremel diamond wheel or an Inland band saw. Chalices would peel off rocks as good as peeling off encrusting montiporas; just not a good idea.

I think the hoopla is in the eye of the beholder. I have never been a huge fan of them either but some can be pretty cool; just another coral type to add to the diversity of a mixed reef!

 

yep thats how you do it , /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/w00t.gif

 

Thanks. I figured it was something like that. I am not going to frag it.....yet but it grows so damn fast I might have to.

 

Mine grew out away from the rock it was on. I kept accidentally fragging it, and fragged it easily when I wanted to.

 

Don't get me wrong, there are some nice ones out there and I would love to have them in my tank! Here are some examples that might sway you to get into chalices.

 

I have had the worst luck fragging chalices, I think you've pretty much got to split the rock and leave the base beneath it. Also, use dremel instead of fragging shears.

 

man i love fragging chalices , matter fact im going to have to frag my 3 1/2 inch hurricaine this week /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

 

When I got my blue chalice, a tiny little speck broke off. It was about an eighth of an inch square. I glued it to a rock, and within a few months, it was huge. I don't think I ever lost a frag I took from it.

 

Thanks a lot sone what are the names of those chalices so I can go spend some money

 

Sorry Matt, that wasn't my intention! Lol

SC atom bomb
SC dynamite
SC golden superman
Tyree fire melon
Tyree orangeaide

 

Lol . Matt buy them that's pocket change for you.

 

Do you have any of them sone?

 

Absolutely not! I wish I did but I don't. You can come check my tank! Lol

 

That's okay Sone/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif If you had one or more, you'd probably get robbed every few months!/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/hehe.gif

 

I can see why not sone. I did a search and the atom bomb is $1200 an eye and the dynamite is $1500 an eye I may be crazy but I'm not that crazy

 

I had a frag of the orangeaide I got from Morgan at fall fest 2011 but unfortunately I lost it

 

It's definitely expensive and probably why there aren't many out there. I think a group buy/grow out is the only way to make them attainable.

Too bad you lost the orangeaide from Morgan, would've been a good one to circulate!

 

I also lost my flame thrower but I traded an eye with Morgan before I lost it. I know I can get an eye of both from Morgan whenever I want but I'm buying another tank and need a bigger skimmer and calcium reactor first.
Did u get the ozone you bought off RC set up yet
