Frag swap goodies :)

[mr_X]

Jason Fox had some nice stuff, but most of his prices were absurd. There was a single paly on a plug my GF asked about- he told her it was 200 bucks. I asked him to turn up the whites on his LED fixture and when he did, it looked dull brown.

BTW, did you notice, just about everyone was using Tao fixtures...lol.

Yeah i saw his stuff, just to rich for my blood. It was either the Taos or kessil 350s lol

My pieces-

What'd the purple guy? I know the green deep water and pocilopora. Nice pieces.

 

[mr_X]

That's not a "deep water". As a matter of fact, there is no such thing as deep water acropora. they just don't live in deeper waters due to their lighting needs. That's just a marketing tactic.
My camera isn't picking up 100% true color. It's a red tabling acro, similar to ORA's red planet, except it doesn't get any green at all.
the bottom pic is a green stylo, and the middle is some kind of acro...I forget what he told me.

 

[Sniperhank]

Still really cool X. Nice pieces.

 

[mr_X]

Thanks Hank. The top one was 25, the stylo frag was 10, and Jason Fox's green thing was 30

 

[Sniperhank]

Still great deals from my point of view. My pocilopora was 15...not including shipping and everything else I ordered with it. Those pieces would have been pretty expensive from anything other than a swap.

did you get the top one from the guy in the back to the left of the stage? I picked up one that looks very similar to yours from him along with an ora green acro.

Nice pickups!

no. The top one was from a guy just as you walk in the door....first isle, about 3 tables in on the left. Just across from those people with the deli tubs with all the cheap corals in them.

I wanna go! Only a 12 hour drive for me...

 

[mr_X]

I've driven 10 hours to pick up a puppy....it wasn't too bad. Gotta book a room and go home the next day though...

 

[Gregcoyote]

But that's a PUPPY. One of the most wonderful things in the world. I too would drive for a puppy. But a frag? Not so much. Wasn't it colder than heck? I just got back a few weeks ago from a job in Chicago, it was -35F.

 

[mr_X]

It's in the teens and single digits, but the swap was inside. My ex GF lives in Chicago. She's always complaining about the horrible temps.

 

[Gregcoyote]

Your on the east coast right? This last arctic storm cooled that area off.
