I feel like if I got a battle box, Id go for quality. Im thinking of requesting one or two specific pieces and maybe sending a FTS of the tank and letting Adam pick the rest. I think some surprise would be part of the fun.
Yea, depending on the contest frags, i'll be asking for yellows, oranges and reds. I have a lot of greens, pinks, and purples. From what I gathered the battlebpxes are a great deal!

If was building a battle box right now, Im requesting these two. The RR blue flame spath is at the top of my list.

Those 2 are really good pieces and would give some very nice contrast!
For sure though, the surprise aspect is half the fun with a battlebox.

If you want top notch stuff, get the more expensive ones and select fewer pieces. Like $3-400 and 4 pieces or $5-600 6 piece.

When I read the first sentence above, I was like, "Me! I hope he says I do."

Yet, another disappointment you have provided.


I do not see a Bumbu Lab sticker! HA!
Awe, you know you hurt me too. Wanna see my emotional scars? :)

Sadly no, no bambu pri ter for me yet. I eneded up getting a new golf bag and another meridian for my tank instead :/ back to saving up.

I am posting this here so we get the official answers; @Rocks reef - ok, we know you want dark blue. Which of the dark blues would you most like? Also, what would you like to be printed on the front or do we get free reign? Don't worry about what it says on the bottom because that is reserved for us.

Also, @Red_Beard - did you get the proper measurement for the vial that was a smidgerino off?

Different blues;

Nothing further than "another 2mm". I figure I'd add 3 for some wiggle room

You know what would be funny and very disturbing? Is if we made a couple of the bottoms of the vial holders angled. So, you know, people like me would get mental when looking at the vials in it!

I was thinking of a $3 to $400 box ans picking only 4. I appreciate you mentioning this, Ive always kind of wondered if that's how it worked.

Yeah I would have to have these two as close together as I could put them!

Thank you! There are some very nice pieces for sure. Would be really great to be in the top 3!

Some very bum luck with your white bugs though, but your collider has some solid mass already. When it does branch, it is going to explode! Will be really cool to see how that contest shakes out too
Thanks man, I think my collider has some catching up to do. It now it seems like it’s gonna settle in. 🤞🏻
I’m planning to run it back with the next contest if I’m interested in the coral!

How did I lose track of this thread when everybody was talking smack? Probably better for you skimmates, in any case.
It is never too late for a little smack talk :)
Besides, my skimmate stinks way harder than yours anyways!
