A Splash of Color

[PatrikD]

I've read every page of this amazing thread. What a fantastic collection of beautiful corals

Most of your corals comes from the GBR I understand. I'm very keen on buying Aussie wild corals here in europe. Here's a picture of a shipment I can choose from.


Do you have any comments on wild vs aquacultured aussie corals?

Hi Andrew
I have been into marines for about 3 years and on my second tank, I have relative success with sps and have several oz wild corals that lose colour going dull others that have browned out and started to colour up after 8 months eggs being a scale colony which was one colour when bought and several SSC COLONIES which are showing good colour based onto rock and growing well.I have just ordered frags of walt disney and bali shortcake which look nothing like the pics on us sites.any advice on these corals if you have them.
Bill

Hey Bill, i don't have anything colored like the pics of that walt disney thing lol - the vendor pics are beyond ridiculous - you idiots don't need to over saturate and skew the colors on nice stuff to sell it !

A very easy way to know if you are kicking goals in regards to acro colors is this, if the display looks better under actinics only than with full lighting on your colors are sh$tful............. you can take that however you want.

Sale pics under stupid lighting spectrum is a wank aimed at wanker reefers.

- yes i'm in one of those belligerent biggles moods........... all weekend off and nothing planned other than pic posting and ranting about all sorts of reefy things on RC :smokin:

Where was i before you got me sidetracked Bill.......

I would put any tenuis in bright light, not toasted but medium to high light. If you want to see the beautiful rosette growth that makes them so stunning don't give them too much flow. No rosette's means too much flow - very easy sight indicator for that species regardless of colors whether they are real colors or walt disney on a bad acid trip colors......

The bali shortcake looks tasty, don't have any of that because Chrisitan is a lazy arse collector obviously and hasn't got me any..........

That would not be an 'easy' one to color up compared to SCC, if you were getting good colors on that piece you would have great colors on everything.

So everyone can better see what you apparently have access to Bill.........that is as good as it gets Bill, those sort of acros are considered tippy top pieces by those of us in Aus who see lots of fresh wild collected acros.......:thumbsup:

I didn't mean to sound like i didn't think you knew what you were doing btw Bill, i was just ranting. :fun4:

Whoa up there Mike, i was just quoting Kevin who as you know is a frozen wasteland dweller like yourself..........

If an aussie discovered Canada he would have took one look at the snow and crossed the whole place off his map as uninhabitable for normal humans.

That's what you get for using the word mate in caps.......... moose boy....

Have some T5 morning porn.........

No because acros freeze in the snow Matt........... it's not rocket science mate :facepalm:

Matt's Madness porn.......... it's color morphed to blue at the tips to match the light blue encrusting base.

 

[reefmutt]

It hurts.....

Thanks Andrew.

Wild fires, earth quakes, and they call that god forsaken island a continent :facepalm: What's with those clearly visible frag plugs anyway, you're losing it MATE! Thanks for the morning T5 pic btw :lol2:

Oh yeah, and Happy Easter to all u down under :beer:

Happy Easter to you and all the other Canadians on RC Mike :wave:

It's a little know fact that the easter bunny refuses to deliver eggs in Canada because it's such a cold hole of a country and he'd freeze to death or get trampled by one of those genetic throwback Darwinian goofball mistake of evolution moose things.

I think it would be a nice gesture if you US guys sent Mike and all the other Canadian reefers some eggs.

Don't say i don't do stuff for international relations - i should be a diplomat.

Forgot one.......

This one is very pretty love it

 

[M007]

Well let me educate you on the Canadian Easter bunny. Not only does it deliver eggs, it does not beat on people like your genetically deformed, long eared.....roos I believe you call them? Balls of steel on our bunnies :lolspin:
