There's something fishy about this build...

[Mschmidt]

I'd wait till the weather improves to get a battlebox. Adam is great with shipping but why put him in a position that may make him have to resend an order. Plus if you wait a month or so they may start up a new grow out that you can hop in on too. @Mschmidt seems to have the dl on the grow outs.

not super inside scoop, that would be @Reefing102. but he will definitely hold till the weather improves.

I'd expect something after the spring comps wrap up, but can't promise anything.

Fine, fine. He does have one millipora that is out of stock that looks awesome so maybe that will come back in stock. https://battlecorals.com/products/dirty-rainbow
I do have $600 of free coral, so I'm thinking a mix of battlebox and individual selections as I do not want more than 10 frags.

He may have something like that, or be able/willing to cut what he has too. My next box will be letting him choose for me, largely because I want more hardy and he would know better than I.

I've let Adam pic frags for me several times and I've never been disappointed.
Except for when the nems when on a rampage and killed every last one... *sad face*

Adam can definitely hook you up. Be sure to tell him if you want a strict quantity of frags cause he likes to give freebies too lol

With regards to future grow outs, the next ones will likely be advertised around April or so.

Almost there...

Made it. Never was a Reader's Digest type reader. You miss too much of the real stuff.

Wow
That is some incredible commitment!

Reef cleaners sending the package overnight with no warning. That's the unlike them. Anyway, time for some chitons!

This will be their theme song. @Fish Styx want to give this music video a review? The protagonist has the sort of back you are in to. Nice and short

I always get an email from him telling me when he's shipping... In fact I just got one yesterday saying he'd be sending Monday as long as our weather improved.

Exactly
That’s why I’m surprised. Last time we organized a delivery day that worked for both of us. Luckily today does work for me. It is very cold though. 20F right now

I just missed the kukenthalli shrimp he posted today. Was gone within the hour (I was presenting in a meeting and couldn't just "oh hey, just wait a tick while I buy some rare aiptasia eating shrimp!").

I’m just hoping these are the right type of peppermints

I think John has a good eye for his inverts. But I don't know if he send wurdemanni or bogessii pepps.

Bogessi have the black tails.

The LFS near me had the ones that only ate aiptasia but they closed which is good because they were awful in every other way.


Update is that the shrimp and crab look happy. Chitons and creepy knob haven’t moved
