Since I'm at work and have plenty of time since I'm no longer bumping this thread I got bored and added up my post count for this thread.

My total, not including this one, is 932. This one thread accounts for 20% of everything I've posted on this forum in the last year and a half.
You gotta get to 1000 at this point

That was my thinking as well. Like most sale threads that I've seen for Battlecorals, I'm hoping most people share pics of their corals when they get them. I'll probably be the last to share because I've asked Adam to hold my order for a week or two. I've decided to make a few small changes to my tank and I'd prefer to not add the corals until I'm done.

Yea it may be over but I’m sure you can post 67 more times about anticipating something in the mail in your BattleBox. Start dreaming

I was hoping to make it to where my account had 5000 posts on this thread but that didn't even come close to happening. I still need over 300 more. It didn't help that my family and I were traveling yesterday.

Other than a few times that it got monotonous for the most part I've really enjoyed having conversations and posting memes back and forth with other users on this thread. It's also a little ironic that I've shared way more information about my tank and personal life on this thread than I have on my build thread. Although I only have a build thread to enter into giveaways, and I only update it when it gains me an extra entry.

I was originally hoping to have my order delivered tomorrow because it's my birthday and I've already taken off from work, but after my phosphates were high and I realized I'm going to work on getting a refugium hooked up, I'm adding some extra power heads, and I'm dealing with my new lights. I figured it'd be best to wait until all of those things were done.

BTW I think it was you that mentioned adding GFO for the phosphates. If so thanks for the suggestion. I added a tiny amount to a media bag and the next day they had dropped down to .08. I've have GFO sitting around because I tried using it once and it didn't go well, so I was nervous to use it again, but it worked great. I ultimately want to maintain it with chaeto, but for now it worked well, until I can get my refugium running properly.

I'd love to see pics when you guys, and everyone else, gets their orders. Since I'll be waiting a week or more I have to live vicariously through everyone else.

Mine ship tomorrow. I know what i'm getting though for the most part, so not as much anticipation as with a battle box, but still exciting. I feel like i'm the only person that didn't order a battle box.

I've never ordered anything other than battleboxes. You can't beat his prices by getting the corals that way, plus I oddly like the not knowing what I'm getting. If there is a specific coral that I want I just hope to get it in a battlebox, then when I don't get it I just have to keep buying more boxes hoping to get it.

Please post pics anyway I love seeing the frags that he ships out.

ok, i will try. i have ordered battle boxes before and i love it, but i have a lot of acros. i have gotten duplicates (not Adam shipping the same coral, but acros i already had from other vendors or hobbyists) before, there were just some specific ones i wanted this time and with limited space i'm getting picky about the ones i want to add. Even so there is usually one i wasn't expecting, and its a nice surprise.

I gave Adam some ideas of what I wanted but I’m excited for the surprise of the BattleBox.

My box just came in. Everything is floating now. Here’s the list:

There was also an Acroberry in there.

That said, most are showing polyp extension out of the box. The ROAB and Blaze came off its plug but still appear healthy. I gotta say, the frag size on most of these is incredible in comparison

Looks good. Make sure to post pics when you get them in the tank.
