My SPS & Clam Tank

[jonelder68]

Yes. I am really liking them. The flashers look incredible when they display. I had to start using my screen net. It was a worthwhile compromise.

Tomorrow is the day the fish and corals arrive. So exciting! Unfortunately, I might also be harassed by an unsolicited blasto.

from the auction you and Eli were talking about?

Ya flashers seem cool. Wish I had more room. Would love some. Going to finish off with probably some chromis and a yellow eye Kole or whitetail.

Half bleached, dinky thing. I’d be okay if I ordered it, but it was basically thrust upon me.

Let’s see how it arrives tomorrow…

You pay more in shipping than coral?

It was $14. Shipping and stuff made it $64

dang. That’s unfortunate.

Well, that worked out well for you.

It’s a good thing I have a microscope because that “thing” is smaller than a piece of mysis.

Package came! Besides for that mess, the acros and fish look great!

POTO Judgement Day

Wow! Trippy! Assuming it only looks crazy under heavy blues?

It’s very bright, but it’s still too small right now to see much detail from afar.

This is the blasto.

well at least for now you can put it in the tank and it won’t be seen for years. I’m sure you’ll grow it out to be a beauty though .

Or just send it to Eli

Thank you! We are supposed to trade acros within the next few months (if he could manage to grow his lol). He keeps offering me his zoas and soft corals. I keep telling him, “NO!”

I don’t like zoas. How many times do I need to tell him this? He even offered me a bubble tip anemone because they keep splitting on him. Then he’s offering his staghorns.

Anything BUT the high end acros.

HOWEVER, he wants my top ones. Hmph. I don’t trust him. Knowing him, I’d probably receive a box of aiptasia and ich, so he knows he needs to send his loot first. I told him directly I don’t trust him. Haha

Imagine I give him this thing in a box with a ribbon on it.

He’ll never know what’ll hit him.

 

[jonelder68]

I do love BTAs but I can see it walking all over your acros. Sounds like he’s trying to sabotage your collection

 

[jonelder68]

I’ve got Dino’s for trade that’s all I have to offer so I can’t say much

Haha. I was actually just about post, saying that you’d be a much more loyal trading partner. I was going to say I’d prefer your dinos over his ich.

I’m setting up a coral QT specifically because of him. What an honor!

 

[Miami Reef]

But I already have your loot aside, Jon. It’s on my frag rack.

I got you a Walt Disney, Orange passion, pink Cadillac, and a no named tenuis thing.

I’m just waiting on you to fix up your dinos. Hurry up! lol

Also, sorry for the last package I sent. You were a good test subject. I gained a lot of shipping experience by practicing on you. I appreciate the learning experience, and now I’m ready to send you your goods, unspilled.

 

[jonelder68]

I’m trying I’m just hoping lights back on doesn’t cause a resurrection of them. Every time I think it’s smooth sailing

Smack!

This moment was gold! As easy as taking candy from a kid.
