oh man. be carefull about what you say about reeffarmers. from experience i know that the following of LE-ites is strong.lol

oh, I'm totally not saying anything one way or the other about reeffarmers, all I'm saying is that they would also have colonies of these, and that as honest vendors would certainly not have any qualms against providing pictures of what the frags and colonies look like now in their system. I'm not trying to get into any discussion relating to LE's, naming corals, etc... The only discussion is, that was what they looked like then, how do they look now?


what I am saying, is that, tank crash or not, the idea that Michael Bae would not own or have access to a digital camera is unfathomable, since, let's face it guys, the original pictures didn't take themselves, and using that as an excuse is a pretty low way to get out of having to provide pictures long before this tank crash issue

 

[microbubbles]

did you pirhannas hear me? i have the pictures that I took. it's at home. if i remember correctly, you sycophants were the ones asking for a third party? otherwise wouldn't it be TOOOO convenient? right? let me get off work.

 

[oddballs]

before you call people you dont even know names ralax take a breath!!these are really pricey corals and we all just want to know the TRUTH so yes we will be happy when pics are provided we are all serious reefers and when people pay for something they expect it to be as described(or pictured).

 

[JnS]

I bought all 3 corals from Mike,I expected them to change color as most corals do. I will wait for the pics of them in his tank......

 

[CaptainPicard]

Get ready for pics of a crashed system that you can easily get from google... still no pics of the micro's because i am guessing they are all dead from that unfortunate yet right on time crash, (saving microbubbles on posting so i already said it)

Microbubbles are you Mr. Bae himself?

But the funny part is since they are all dead i had one of my fellow reefers talk to him today and he is selling him pink lemonades and oj simpsons... so sad...

 

[organism]

so he's selling corals that are dead, interesting... good thing MicroBubbles went over to Michael Bae's and already confirmed that there were none, otherwise I'd definitely be suspicious that something shady was going on here

 

[heuerfan]

I'm sure you spent alot of money on those and as beautiful as they are i would be pretty upset that they didn't look like the pictures. Not even close on a couple of them.

My 2 cents....

"edit" sorry, didn't read thru the thread, this is quite obvious

 

[oddballs]

captain i was wondering the same thing! for a third party he really has bae's back on this one?

Microbubbles... or Avedis aka Michael Bae, whichever... First off this person never backed anything up when i asked him to, i kindly spoke to him on the phone asking him to show me updated pics of the colonies and he never did saying he didnt have a camera

hmm, guess he must have broken his camera since these pics were taken


I would have a lot more respect if, instead of the name calling, someone would just step up and say "yes, they have changed colors now, but we are selling very nice micros nonetheless. They are, however, not pink, but still nice, and we like them enough to sell them with these updated pics" without having to make up stories about not having cameras, or different lighting, etc...

I will tell you all how I know for a fact that these micros are misrepresented, and why I'm so enthralled by the excuses that keep popping up as to why pics can't be had, because way back when they first appeared, I had a colony of them, got them right arounds the same time, and I thought hmmm, that doesn't seem right, let me see how they look in a month. In no longer than 14 days, they looked identical to the actual pics posted in the beginning of this thread. They went for $20-30 a polyp (and are all gone for a while now don't pm me or ask for any).
What ticks me off is that arounds the same time someone thought "hey, why not sell them for nearly 5-6 times that by just posting the original pictures of stressed, bleached micros" and ended up becoming this mess. Normally I wouldn't even get involved, but I've felt strongly about this since day 1 (well, day 14 ), and have been waiting for someone to point it out ever since. It's not proper, and it's not the right way to treat anyone buying corals, and in the end, it gives a bad name to anyone with an actually nice coral trying to sell it with an actually nice pic.

ok, I'm done ranting

 

[microbubbles]

organism and picard- You guys are really something else seirously. after i'm done posting the pics at 6pm and i'm excusing myself from the company of this thread. am I Michael Bae? Not quite. He's Asian and i'm Mexican.
btw- organism... VERY ASTUTE connection with with the initials thing. you should work for scotland yard or something.

picard- about the alleged sale- have your friend post here and let's get to the bottom of this thing. i've just left another message and email for Mike.

 

[CaptainPicard]

I have a strong feeling you are Michael Bae but anyway... My friend wishes not to get involved as i asked him to do this as a favor for me. But please dont change the subject, lets see those pics, and another thing as i was pondering how to get more proof, in all this time that the corals were in the tank those where the only pictures ever taken of the famous 6 year waiting list coral? Ask yourself that and then tell me what you said...

the pics of what? an allegedly crashed tank? It's weird that I live not 10 minutes from Mike's place (apparently, according to frags.org), and that I have all of my tanks in the garage and they haven't crashed, even though I never use a chiller. There sure has been a heat wave, but my water's never seen above 84. Neither has my neighbor's tank...

Microbubbles you state that you bought frags of these, did your tank crash too? You live close by I'm sure, how about I stop by, take some really quick pics with a nice camera, and then we can all move on? yeah, didn't think so... Tell you what, how about you stop by here, I'll even fill up your gas tank if they are unstressed and look like the picture, how's that sound? yeah, didn't think so there either...

 

[microbubbles]

exerpt from today's email:
-------------------------------------------
*exhale*
as for the tank crash, yes... it is one in a million, isn't it? microbubbles has several pics he took last night. the pictures indicate that the skeletons are fresh, with remnants of tattered flesh still attached; and anyone w/ any kind of experience w/ acanthastreas and micromussas can easily identify and comfirm that much. convenient, you say? for whom? i lost thousands of dollars worth of corals and i would gladly turn my back on this hobby today if not for this thread.
okay here's the thing-
captain picard... or Oren... or Oring, as i so fondly like to call you... let's set the record straight. you DID get pictures and i held you the corals for 2 weeks as promised, but you're a deadbeat and a liar, so i told you to screw off, no? also, who exactly are you saying that i'm selling dead coral skeletons to? this is low, even for you. yet, oddly enough i'm not too suprised that you would "dishonor yourself" (remember those words, Oring? you should, because they were yours) to that degree. you have 9 posts in reefcentral, about 4 to flame me... i'd hardly say you're one to speak on ANYONE'S credibility. anybody feel free to send me an email through frags.org and i will gladly send you a full transcript of our correspondences, including a picture of all of my acans that i currently had available for cutting and a recent shot of the OJ that was attached. for the record I HAVE NOT sold a single frag of the pink lemonade since april (for purposes i mentioned in the last email), and the frag Oring "the scholar" was going to get was very clearly described as a piece that went through a previous crash, with not as vibrant coloration. i will forward ANY and ALL emails at your request. so there you go Oring- i *&%$ing defy you to start a new account under a different name and manufacture the man who says he is in talks with me to purchase any pink lemonade, you 1/2 a man. DO IT.

as for you organsim- how does it feel to be mr. yang's puppet and mouthpiece? that's the "question that's driving me". =P say hi to our mutual friend for me. thanks bud.

to the rest of you, mods, whoever. it looks like i'm effectively out of the hobby. i can't say that i'm sorry because i know what was in my tank and my conscience is clear. i wish you all the best, including my good buddies oring and miguel. if any of you wish to hear my side of it, shoot me an email through frags.org and i will glady fill you in. keep the thread going, let it die... it matters little to none at this point.
signing off,
mike bae
ps- i'll contact and have the last couple reefers who came by my place speak on my behalf, if it means anything.
-------------------------

organism- I nevere got any of the LE stuff from him, but I have a few polyps of the acanthastreas and a couple other things. he lives in Diamond Bar and I on the borderline of Walnut and Diamond Bar. pm me some contact info and you can on come by. leave the attitude and third degree at home though.

picard- now THAT's convenient.

i'll be home and have everything uploaded by 6pm. good day

 

[marillion]

Hey Miguel...do you have any of those micros left?

Do ya?

Do ya?

Do ya?

Hee hee...I just had to ask and bug the crap outta ya.

Peace,

Chip

 

[fatty23]

thanks

wow, I haven't had to resort to name calling since... hang on, let me count... the third grade

 

[ReefDoctorMicromussas]

LOL OK now I am lost

Who is Mr Yang? and how does he relate to the Chinese mafia?

Does he know Wun hung lo? or Long Wang? Forgive me I digress

Boys LOL the Picard / Miguel / Mr Yang attack really changed my focus... NOT This was about the corals not 2 paragraphs of personal attacks.

As it does not seem that these pictures are coming anytime soon and In the interests of fairness to get opinions, Early last night I emailed this post to 5 of Mr. Baes supporters... ie: positive feedback sales on Frags.org to see how thier "LE" Lemonade, Floyd and OJs look. Maybe one of them could post a pic of thier colonies to support Mr. Bae? Since that request 2 have contacted me to say that they look just as my frags doo and another to tell me that he was banned from RC.
My bet would be that the feedback was left shortly after recieving the corals when Mr. Bae had convinced them that the colors would return in a couple of months if only they would lift one leg and recite Kipling under a full moon.
I did not leave my feedback until completeing each task he requested.
With re: to my Halides... below is the quote from Mr. Bae himself
"Care Instructions: pc/vho/t-5/halides(lower in tank)- care for your micro as you would an acan lord. price is $125/polyp"

 

[CaptainPicard]

Come on Mike, Lets not fabricate BS emails that never occurred, i have bought many corals and some even from this thread alone with a payment within seconds, why would i not buy them?
Because it was all a lie and you still have yet to show *ANY* pictures, as of my posts, i belong to other forums and the minute i came in here i became premium to support the site, not the moves of a liar or deadbeat... either way avedis, can i see a license showing your real name?
I got the emails as well by the way and can also foward them to anyone at anytime...

 

[microbubbles]

picard, you're off to a good start on this board, digging yourself an early grave here on this board. speaking of which, where's your "friend" with the proof of pending sale for the lemonades? does he still want to remain anonymous and nameless? maybe you should "ask yourself and tell us what you said." you play a pretty dirty game there, holmes. it's not even remotely cool. if nothing else, i know i can vidicate mike with the lies you weave. even if i get banned, i'm going to post all of the emails of yours/mike's on this board.

anyway, i'm home and resizing. let me figure out how to upload and post, i'm sure you guys are foaming at the mouths ready to see some dead corals. i also have the chiller and controller readout pics as well. so everyone CHILL OUT and give me a hot minute.

 

[CaptainPicard]

Wow the passion, can you also fabricate graphs and readouts as well... Please, i am done with this, still no pics... nothing, you talk about people playing dirty games but yet all the proof is speaking for itself. Didnt Michael get banned from here as well? His name is not spoken of nicely in many areas. Lieing to people to make a buck, posting modified images that are a number of years old, stop communicating with 90% of your customers because they questioned the product?

Constantly changing the subject?

Constantly attacking people...

They say the best defense is offense but this is pathetic, forget everything i said and post the pictures, any pictures, i find it hard to believe that with years of holding these amazing specimens that the only pictures you have is the ones on frag.org...

Execution is worshiped...
