A Splash of Color

[DiscusHeckel]

Hey Bulent, i like it down below 5 and 0.05 or lower usually mate. I think Matt has low alk too but both you guys have great SPS displays so i wouldn't sweat it tbh.

Dave was texting to Christian the other night and wanted to know the name of the red frag Dave sent him to grow out and frag. I spelled out Bulent's Bliss to Dave and a few minutes later Dave told me he had organized with Christian to make sure that the reefer i named the acro after would receive a frag in 18 - 24 months time once it is ready for export.

I was a grinning idiot after he told me that Bulent. Dave and Chris are top guys

I have just shouted at my son to come to my office to pick me up from the floor Andrew as I have fallen after reading the above bit.

Would you please give my regards to both Dave and Chris. I appreciate this gesture very much. Thank you Andrew. Now I need to share this good news with my fellow reefers who follow my Facebook page.

Bottom left is Bulent's Bliss which is my favorite red with the frag left of it. Beside it is Sustainable Reef's Red Devil. Center far right is the original Firetruck i got from Dom ages ago.

In short, i am so confident that none of you can match the non rusty red pigment tone that Bulent's Bliss sports i will have a bet with you.
If anyone can beat the sheer clarity and all over pigment of that acro - Bulent will run naked past Buckingham Palace shouting ' my reds suck '.

I give you Bulent's word on that

Errm, I second that. :spin1::spin1::spin1:

Oh you guys have got to stop giving me any credit, I'm pretty sure stevie wonder could still manage some good pics when aiming a camera at a nude Kate Upton....

Careful there Sam, your gonna give an old guy like me a heart attack painting images like that......better yet a nude miss Upton delivering some Biggles frags to my door! I'll worry how to explain it to the wife later,:lmao:

Thanks a lot Flo

I love this pic with the little chromis in it mate.

Thanks very much Scott, Sam has a thing for reds like me so between us it's becoming quite a collection lol.

Thank you

I will be sure to pass on your thanks Bulent, i took the frag in to Dave's where it sat for about three weeks and looked pretty brown and ugly when i saw it lol. This is the frag after two days under the sun with Christian according to Dave - i thought you'd like to see your frag right from the very beginning mate

You tell her that's the way biggles rolls Scott, when she asks who the hell biggles is you say ' exactly ' and then walk away........... it'll work like a charm :thumbsup:

This is so cool!!!

What he said!!!

Another nude delivery for you Matt......

You can clearly see where Sam smashed his frag off.......... bloody disgrace.......

Was lopsided anyway ��

I made the terrible mistake of showing Georgia this thread and now all she's done for the last half an hour is make fun of my tank and question me as to why I can't do what the acro God can haha she now understands why I crap on about Andrew all the time :lol: :lolspin:

Needless to say I feel like I'm back on training wheels after the onslaught inquisition about my tank and the merciless torment :lol:

 

[sparker1663]

No greater burn than that of a relatively reef-green newbie questioning your ability.... Tough times ahead Dom!

 

[vpreef]

Amazing Andrew, corals are looking insane mate. Great pics from Sam really show them off well, inspiring stuff :thumbsup:

 

[Pife]

How much do we need to pay Sam to go over at least once a month for photos?


Did you manage to get any tests done today?

 

[sparker1663]

haha I'll be back soon enough, actually felt as if I stuffed up a fair portion of the photos and left a lot on the table. Will do my best to get something better next time

That's what I'm talking about. Don't settle for absolutely stunning pictures like those Sam! You definitely left a lot on the table. I'd like some good shots of the bits that run his system if he'll let you.

Lol, lucky for me that's the little colony i'm growing for frags to give to all my mates.

Love those waves of colour.
Awesome.

Thanks Matt, just need to kill those waves of polyps now.

Georgia has a point Dom, you have a shocking track record with applying yourself in regards to the hobby. Do you remember when you promised me and a whole bunch of my mates on here that you were going to breed us some SPS safe blue face angels........ like you had heaps of pre orders lined up and then......... nothing........

Either get your acros popping or breed me my $%$!# blue face angels - one or the other.

Months back i was given a gift voucher from Dom and Georgia to use at Dave's. I never said anything at the time but Dave told me he had crossed my name out and put his own on the voucher and tried to use it before i got to the shop............. true story............

Dom has this acro in his tank Georgia........ not to put you under any pressure or anything Dom........

Amazing Andrew, corals are looking insane mate. Great pics from Sam really show them off well, inspiring stuff :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot John, i was most pleased when i received the pics from Sam

How much do we need to pay Sam to go over at least once a month for photos?

I'm pretty sure he's happy enough smashing frags off my acros with his tube thingy Pifey, i did question why his top down camera tube was a foot long instead of 6" like all the others i've seen........ now i know.......

haha I'll be back soon enough, actually felt as if I stuffed up a fair portion of the photos and left a lot on the table. Will do my best to get something better next time

I don't think you stuffed anything up Sam, you did an amazing job in my books mate :thumbsup:

I have this neon green with purple tips seri because it came from Dave's actual home reef - it's a sentimental non roofable coral.

Mood shot of a Spooky Mike colony Sam took.

Just because.........

I love the video Andrew. I have shared it on my Facebook page as well as on a group's (WorldWide Reefing) page on Facebook.
