So, where are the pictures of your scores from tonight, John?

Woot!

Here you go, Andrea.

Now these are just "First Blush" pics about 5 mins after being put in my tank.
Nothing looks half as beautiful as they did before they got jerked out of their happy home and sent on Mr. John's Wild Ride back to Tamarac.
(I'll throw up another set of pics when they've had a chance to de-stress tomorrow.)


An extremely generous 2" frag of Pink Stylophora from the Fragstravaganza newsletter.

Another extremely generous 2" frag of Pink Birdsnest from Fragstravaganza... more like 4-6" minimum if you count all the branches...

This is a 2" (really 3" at least) of Encrusting Montipora Peltiformis that wasn't even supposed to be available for this week's Fragstravaganza, but Patrick broke it out, and fragged it up anyway just because we missed out on getting a piece of it last week... and that just tells me right there what kind of a guy he is...

For the last of my sps, here is a huge friggin' frag, supposedly 2"... (I think Patrick has a serious lack of spacial awareness)... of Blue Tenuous Acro that anybody else would have gotten at least eight 1" pieces from.

And last but not least comes the softies I couldn't leave without tonight...

This Green Umbrella shroom was a huge head-turner at the store tonight and it was just one of dozens he had in that tank.
My pic sucks. It doesn't look like jacksh*t right now, but that shroom blows away all my other shrooms when it opens up like it was in his tank.
Wait'll you see tomorrow's pic of it.

Here's one each of the huge collection of blue and orange rics he had... I just had to... I love rics.

And finally, last but not anywhere near least, not one, but two rocks of true Superman mushrooms (red base covered in blue spots).

I'm not too proud to say that I twisted Ninjamini's arm to split that rock with me, and there will definitely be one available at the next club auction... (one off his rock... lol)

I have to say a big Thank You to Patrick at ReefLife for being so generous with the size and variety of frags he's making available for his wed night Fragstravaganza.
I really can't support it or talk it up as much as it deserves.

No one else is doing anything like this and I think there's a real market for it.
We're truly spoiled down here in S. FL. with all the choices we have and I think Pat has found something that really sets his store apart from everyone else.
Let's make sure we reward this type of progressive business practice and not let him go down the tubes like so many other LFS in the past.

See you there next Wednesday!

Ok. So i'm jealous now. Just thought I'd post that. Nice pick ups. Mind telling us how much you spent for everything combined so we can get a rough figure of how much to come with? Or was this trade only?

 

[gasman059]

great scores. Nice frags- Ilike the encrusting monti.

 

[ninjamini]

Yea I bought more than I planned to. Heck I only went by to get my korolla. The frags were $5-10 per inch. I also took home an umbrella shroom. 2" of the purple encrusting monit and yes half of a superman shroom rock.


I blame John for each purchase. Thanx John.

Hey its now 7 am. When did you have lights on to take pics?

Hey now that I think about it Reef Life has the best deal in town. Is is cheap for the frags. Very generous and you forgot to mention the $.25 for mounting on a plug.

What, and risk my wife seeing this thread? Are you crazy?!?

The little bubble coral I forgot to post was the only trade.
Everything else was $5-10 an inch, the single rics/shrooms were $10-15, and the two shroom rocks were $15 & $20.

Normally it shuts off at 10pm, but when I'm up late I keep the tank on till I go to bed.
The lights are off during the day until the afternoon.

Yes I forgot to mention it, but Pat mounted everything I bought for only $.25 each.
Now that's the kind of service and bargain you just don't find anywhere else I've been.

You made out like a bandit John:bigeyes: WOW!

And your pictures are very nice.

Pat told me that there was another shipment coming in today. I hope he will have some cool pieces for next weeks chop - chop.

I only got the encrusting Monti this time, I am still hesitant to put stuff back into my tank after the melt down, but I think, next week I will be ready for lots of frags.

 

[loyalrogue]

Dammit, I went to get some fresh pics and my camera just broke.
It's probably one month out of the warranty to boot.
Argghhh!

Shame cause that shroom is opened up and looks so nice, and that encrusting monti has turned completely purple with all the polyps out.
Maybe Andrea or Steve could post a pic of their frag.
