I just placed an order for some Rics from Pure Captive. Bryan is a real pleasure to do business with, and he has some really nice stuff. I can't wait to get these. They should be here on Tuesday!

Hey Scott, my Blue R. florida got caught in a two time avalanche and got hit HARD. The first was a LARGE rock that fell over and hit the blue off to the side. I fixed it, and about 5 minutes later my bruiser of a Turbo Snail got behind it and knocked it over AGAIN. This it, it hit square on the Ric. I have a really torn up blue now. Hopefully it will recover. It seems to be doing find under the circumstances. I'm hoping that it will turn into multiple little rics when it recovers.

Those are awesome, how do they look in your tank? Are you satisfied?

 

[Travis L. Stevens]

I won't get my new Rics until Tuesday. I've worked out a delayed shipment day to make sure that I'm home to receive them. I'm extremely excited. I'll make sure to take pictures and compare them side by side to the pictures from Bryan. I can't wait!

He typically has little on his store front since he is a smaller scale shop that sells aquacultured goods. So, stock isn't as common, and sells fast. FWIW, the Rics that I purchased, he's been holding for about a month because of special circumstances. Bryan recently got his site running again with new stock. He was down for a while because he was updating things.

Very nice collection you have there Travis. I especially like the first ones.

 

[Travis L. Stevens]

They should be here any moment. I'll have to wait until I get home to see them and take pictures though. They left Tulsa, OK at ~10am, and Tulsa is 65 miles away from Stillwater. It's now been three hours, so they are already there or still on a truck. Here's a teaser of some of the other Rics that I have.

Green and Purple R. yuma (The ones that is posted above in a macro)

Blue and Green R. florida from Scott (bigScott)

Same Teal and Orange & Blue R. florida as above

Travis,

It was nice meeting you in Jenks. You amaze me! I have spent many many many hours reading various things on reef central since I joined COMAS and went to Jenks with the group. Your knowledge, helpfulness and creativity are a great asset to the group. These Rics are beautiful!! That will be a nice collection. Rics are one of my favorites. While we were at Oddballs, you said to remind you to get me some frags of orange pieces out of your tank for the OSU themed (As much orange and black as possible) 58 I have been working on. I would like an update on the 2 gallon tanks you were making. This is a project I would like to do, but I am a bit unsure about making it by myself. Plus, I lack any of the specialized tools. If I buy the used tank I am looking at to maybe us at a frag tank, I will be picking your brain om setting up the sump/refugium and plumbing. I saved the details about how you made the 10 gallon one.

How are the black and whites? I have a female (true perc.) that is atleast 3 inches. I have never been able to find a mate for her. He would have to be of decent size or she would tear him up.

Great Pictures,

Christy

Hi Christy! For the sake of of keeping the thread on topic, I'll give you a PM to reply. Thanks for the kind words.

 

[mikekman]

Great rics that you are going to be getting. The current ones you already have are also great. I hope they spread so quickly that you start offering some of these to other ric lovers. I'll be the first in line

 

[Travis L. Stevens]

My package didn't come in yesterday, but it is pending arrival today. I hope for the best for them. I think they will be fine.
