First pic looks like whites are on max, second and third look super niceHere's my example. When I first got one of my torches home, vs a month later top down and frontal views.
is it all the same lighting? But this gives me hope as well! Thanks for comparison.
Just posted another shot. That first one under whites isn't a great comparison. That second post however is with the blues.First pic looks like whites are on max, second and third look super nice
Yeah that at least looks similar! But definitely lost a lot of color. But it bounced back so this is good to know
Not long after I got home. Maybe 1 week, but this one is under blues not the whites.
This is why you don’t buy from Ramez in Richmond hill. He’s a well known scammer who edits the hell out of photos. Sorry he took your money as he did for many others.So I bought these 2 torches from a site online and they were a couple hour drive away from me so no shipping stress was involved. I paid 1000 for the both and wanted to know if maybe they were just stressed and the color will return or if it's a completely different one and it was falsely advertised. Since the quarantine restrictions here I was not able to go in and see it in tank so it was shriveled up in the to go bag. but maybe you can confirm if the color loss would be this extreme as the person says
First is a pic of what I thought ordered a holy grail torch , second is in the tank after 4 days. It's on with heavy blues and an orange lense filter just like how the guy had said his lights were. Also played with a bunch of different lighting as well
Third pic is what I thought I was getting and fourth is what's in my tank now. The guy is saying it's 100% what I ordered and the color will come back on 2 weeks
dang you know exactly who I got it from. His website looks so professional and amazing coral.... Well now I know I'm an idiot. I should have went with candy corals in Mississauga. His just looked so amazing and so well taken care of.
Did he take you for anything? Or just other people complained on here? Took me months to save up for these. Slightly losing my equanimity now lol. Well thanks for the info. I think I already learned not to buy from him anymore. But he just said they were stressed from moving and will bounce back in a couple weeks. I wanted to check here if others went through the same thing.
Let's hope not ; )
I'm a little confused by this post. The following terms have no useful hits on the search feature of this site: "Ramez in Richmond hill" "Coralcavecanada" and "reef4sale".
I have no idea how he exactly knew where I got it from. I mentioned nothing of where I got it from and he was bang on. I'm still not sure though the coral could bounce back to what I thought I was getting though, from other people's input. I'm desperately hoping it is the same ones though that I got. I didn't wanna ruin anyone's reputation by name though until I was certain. It just looked much different and was hoping for some input lol.
If you find out let me know
What does experience have with buying coral? I've bought lots online and they all turned out to be the same thing I ordered.
You brilliant *******. Where were you when I needed this information?
Same here. I’m about an hour from the gta. Luckily I have one guy in town who works for candy corals and another guy both of who have good setups out of their houses but I’m always looking around on classifieds so don’t want to run into this guy.
Yeah man, my old hellfire I got I had the exact same experience. The color was crazy when it wasn't fully extended for the first 2 days I was very impressed how insanely yellow the tips were. Then it got very happy and extended like crazy and it just wasn't as intense but still beautiful. I was watching on YouTube a guy unboxing an overnight shipped holy grail and it looked exactly like what the picture I attached was just shrivelled. I can't imagine how stressed it was for a full day of shipping and bouncing around for 20 hours and it still looked amazing. I even had my kryptonite torch freshly fragged the next day and then I brought it home and it lost no color. I'm a bit confused now though as some people say it lost color and 2 weeks later it came back and then others say no. I'm a bit annoyed that some guy here though knew exactly where I got it from even though I mentioned nothing about it as I wanted to get some confirmation first before saying anything negative. Today is day 5 though and I haven't noticed anything different in color yet. The so called "holy grail" he sent me though still looks amazing I think, but for $650 I would expect a very healthy colored frag. But I'll keep it posted if it comes back for others who go through the same issue. Thanks for the encouragement though
Yeah and candy coral had a sale on the holy grail for 529.99 as well. They sold out fast though and only had the reverse one. I usually like buying from other local reefers because I found a lot of them take such good care of their tanks and have a better selection than my lfs usually. I would be careful for now though if you come across it. I'll let you know if it turns out good though. Candy corals has a far superior selection for rarer coral compared to fragbox. You'll see though this guy is all over Kijiji and is one of the top searches on Google for coral for sale in the GTA. Fingers crossed.
