slooow acclimation- no need to risk the preciouses.



Oh- and two things I actually need to bring up-

-First, the rainbow magic is being babysat at Annette's tank, and either due to not getting it done, laziness, or the soul crushing feeling that is the Lakers playoff series, Mike didn't have it on hand- he's just going to mail it down later on once the frag is ready- so just stand by on it.

-Two- he had the Blue Eyed Flamethrower next to the SC Shocker for us- and pointed out how similar the two are, to give us a bigger variety, he offered up a Multi-Eyed Purple Urkle. Scott and I made the non-executive decision to change it out for the B.E.F- so we'll be getting a Purple Urkle (would you post a pic of it Scott?) instead of the B.E.F. It'll be coming in the mail with the Rainbow Magic, so if anyone isn't happy with that change, please let me know ASAP and we'll get it corrected. Would have asked you guys first, but it was just a case of Mike pointing it out while we were checking them out in the tank. Basically the Shocker is an even nicer looking piece than the B.E.F.


Better pics to come later on guys!

LOL, I thought the blur was a mesh screen over the acclimating frags. I'm good with the last minute change.

I wish, but Mike said he would hook it up with a NICE sized frag. This one will be shipped down with the Rainbow Magic.

The Shocker- this thing looks amazing in person, incredibly bright

Pink Diddy

Fallen Sun- has some growing to get going on it, but saw the mother colony and totally a nice piece

Pot O' Gold

Golden Superman- Piece is looking a bit rough, Mike offered us a big piece or a colored up piece- I went for the size as I'm confident the beauty will come back to it, and bigger means faster for us! Mike's also got our backs if it doesn't shape up.

The other pieces are still to come! With Memphis having problems I may have to just drive back up to LA to pick them up, but no biggy, worth it if we get the stuff so we can have all pieces in our control and growing IMO. Oh- and the Crazy Fox is at Scott's (SD Actuary's) so a pic will get put up of it shortly- for now he's going to be growing it out as it was already in his tank, and no reason to switch things up on it for no reason.
