One of these days I will be getting a new one [acronym:764c2d942a="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:764c2d942a]..

Thanks Again,

Nice [acronym:677e49dde8="Broken or cut pieces of coral which will eventually grow into a new animal"]frags[/acronym:677e49dde8]!!! The tort looks great!! Can't wait t see the growth on the birds nest...looks like an ORA birds nest, was it on an ORA plug?

04-07-2004, 05:00 PM

They were all ORA [acronym:ce300b0205="Broken or cut pieces of coral which will eventually grow into a new animal"]frags[/acronym:ce300b0205].. So yes the birdsnest was an ORA.. I cut the plugs off all of them.. The Green Digitata that came in was in 3 pieces but I look at it as they were all pretty good sizes [acronym:ce300b0205="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:ce300b0205] (Broke in shipping) I will have pics of the Scripts Green Stag and the Green digitada after they have opened up a bit...

a Tip of the Stag broke of in shipping as well as a tip of the tort.. I was able to save the stag tip but the Tort tip fell somewhere in the tank

Ohwell they gave me 35.00 in credit as a sorry for them being a bit broke [acronym:ce300b0205="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:ce300b0205].. Plus still the 10day gaurentee that they all survive [acronym:ce300b0205="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:ce300b0205] [acronym:ce300b0205="For what its worth"]FWIW[/acronym:ce300b0205] the Green digitata doesnt look like its going to be Green [acronym:ce300b0205="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:ce300b0205].. But well see Lol

I usually get all my corals from Either Etropicals.com for [acronym:c793d609d9="Broken or cut pieces of coral which will eventually grow into a new animal"]frags[/acronym:c793d609d9] or Liveaquaria.com for Colonies.. The colonies are awesome however not as hardy as the [acronym:c793d609d9="Broken or cut pieces of coral which will eventually grow into a new animal"]frags[/acronym:c793d609d9] as the colonies come from the wild where as Etropicals.com [acronym:c793d609d9="Broken or cut pieces of coral which will eventually grow into a new animal"]frags[/acronym:c793d609d9] are all ORA.. I have had a few issues with them but they have more than made up for them... I would highly recommend either place as they are both owned by the same company..

Well I was messing around taking some pictures of stuff today and came up with a real nice one of my Blue A. Tort.. So I just had to share... Its been in the tank since Wednesday Apr 7th 2004

Enjoy,
James

reefrunner69 · 04-13-2004, 08:37 PM

That tort looks happy!!!! Love the shape!!!

04-13-2004, 08:39 PM

Thanks I hope it stays happy.. But from the looks of it unless I make some major disaster happen It should be just fine..

Well The bubble Coral is gone Unfortunetly however I picked up a Gold TearDrop Maxima as a trade for the Bubble Coral... I didnt get exactly what I wanted for the Bubble but I had to get rid of it as it was extremely too big for my tank... Here is a picture of the New TearDrop that I got Today.. Its Pretty small But they wouldnt let me get the larger one that they had there for a straight across trade..

I will have another pic later when it opens up a bit more.. Its only been in the tank maybe 45mins as of this picture..
