Tank is looking sweet! That flasher is awesome! You'll have to hook me up with a piece of that stylo when my new tank is up. I was eyeing it at ATL last time I was there. Also the tri-color thats not a tri-color I gave you a frag of is now the YR selago.

Yeah, that "bi-color" green with blue is one of my favorite pieces......very vibrant green with the coolest shade of blue!!! In fact, that is it in the background behind the head of the wrasse in the side shot.

I am getting rid of the stylo........pick it up and put it in your "holding" tank and take it off my hands!!!!

Thanks dude, I am very happy with my new fishes in the tank....I am very happy with the whole package, but want to clean out some room.....hence getting rid of these.......

Nice frags, Doug!

Tank looks like it's doing great, but you need to go back to the Ushios. I can't tell where half your corals are in the FTS You're starting to get that 'midnight bowling alley' look

I still have em, but I do agree the colors a pop don't they?.....looks better in person, the rock color is off, but the corals are close and that is what matters in pics.........The Ushios looked as if they were shifting and wanted to blue it up for a while........I just want to look like a SE 20K radium tank.....cuz thats the only bulb to have right:rollface: I remember someone saying a while back that they people already "found" the perfect bulb about five years ago when someone asked the "what the best bulb for SPS question" and thats was someone came back with........stuck in my head as the funniest thing I heard!!! Just wanted a change, I have Actinics that I could swap out to lighten it up if need be.

I am dialing in the camera and will bust out some close ups soon!!!!

Can I interest you in one of them Karl.......come on.....all four for an Echinata frag!!!

 

[Unarce]

I see. I wish I kept a pic of when I first put my Ushio in, so I can see if they've shifted, too. The Radium is a cool bulb if you overdrive it. If you don't mind spending a little extra $, the Giesemann Megachrome Blue would give you the look of an overdriven Radium. Won't look as blue as the Phoenix

I would take a few, Doug, but I'm at a crossroads right now. Been thinking about getting out the last few months.

 

[dots]

Let me know if you do, and I will hold your stuff for you.......I think you just need a challenge......say a GARF tri-color?

frags anyone?

 

[MrMikeB]

Doug,

Very cool corals! PM sent on Cali Tort and Blue Stylo.

 

[mpoletti]

Tanks look good Doug. What is the difference between a bonzai and tri color.

 

[tfp]

lookin' good doug! your digis look extremely deep and richly colored in your fts.

 

[Unarce]

Yeah, you should see the close ups of his Superman Digi.

thats one piece that i can't seem to keep

Thanks for the kind words Karl, means a lot comming from you guys!!!! Like I said, still trying to catch up!!!!

Here you go Tim in case you didn't see.......I had shown this on the SPS forum yesterday when someone was asking.......

I have to admit, I am really proud of that piece

Thanks for the interest guys and the kind words....I appreciate it.

Difference between Bonsai and Tri Color?.......the Bonsai is purple with green polyps, which I wouldn't mind having myself.......this piece looks to be lighter purple with green polyps and yellow tips. It has been mentioned and shown on the sight a couple of times if you go to the GARF website.

I have the ATL Bonsai seen in the upper left of the above pic and find it to be a rarer more interesting piece.........that one and the Superman digi are the two pieces that got me crazy into SPS and forced me to do a lot of upgrades.......

FYI seen in that pic for show in tell and since Karl said he couldn't see them in the other pics: Becker tort, YR Selago, ATL Bonsai, 2-Aquaculture rainbow monti, Pink Lemonade, Ponape Torch (cut off at top), Steve Elias,Tubs Horida, Oregon Tort, and Superman digi......all still small so squint hard!!!!

Good news for you guys, bad news for me!!!!

While feeding I may have discovered a redbug infestation and need to postpone selling these pieces in order to verify and not to spread this plague.

For those who have committed I would like to apologize for the inconvience and am glad I caught this now rather than in a week.

Please let me know now if you are still interested in the pieces and I will contact you as soon as this problem has been alleviated.

Thanks, Doug

 

[Elite]

ouch... goodluck man

 

[dots]

at least its not AEFWs..........could be worse. I think I am getting off easy.

Update::celeb3:

After dosing 4x I am happy to say that I am redbug free. I have watched closely for the past week since the last treatment and have not seen any.

A testament to this, coloration and Polyp Extension are as good as ever and am very happy with what I am seeing.

I am confident that if you are still interested in the frags people, that I can give them to you in confidence now.

For those who have patiently waited, Thank you, and please let me know if you still want these pieces.

-Doug
