buddythelion Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Also a zoa/paly apparently. Any pics? Link to comment
1.0reef Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If I took pics they would look like an orange poison oak leaf, I'm looking for one right now. To give you an idea of what they look like imagine your nightmares but without the black dots and instead have very thin black lines. Very pretty Link to comment
1.0reef Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Like these? Very similar, under your lighting the centers would be orange except for a tiny area around the mouth, those are beautiful! Link to comment
buddythelion Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Nice Very similar, under your lighting the centers would be orange except for a tiny area around the mouth, those are beautiful! Thanks guys, I'm sure they are similar. But we'll never know unless you post a pic 6 gallon! Anyways, when I order from someone and they meet my satisfaction (look exactly like what they picture them as and come in alive and healthy), I definitely try to go out of my way to show my gratitude to show their hard work. So here's my review and unboxing video of AquaScapers, the same people from the infamous Coral Morphologic: I've made an unboxing for these guys back when they were Coral Morphologic. Been ordering from them with nothing but praise and I recommend almost everyone I meet when someone's wondering where's a good place to order online. With one of a kind ricordeas, unimaginable vice zoas, insane corallimorphs, and the idea of trying to bring aquaculture into the hobby, Coral Morphologic has definitely out done themselves with us hobbyist. Now Coral Morphologic has progressed beyond and has separated their coral aquaculture business from their art/science works, creating a whole new site dedicated solely to selling aquacultured corals. Congrats Coral Morphologic team, AquaScapers still provides the same high quality service, grown over frag plugs, and the infamous air bag pillow we all know them for. The only kick is, now they have the most bad *** website I've ever seen. The wait was surely worth it, and I love how they still keep the picture of what is sold that week so customers can refer back to the pictures and look at them in anticipation of their coral (I know I was). So, here's my unboxing. Go ahead and order people, as this is exactly the kind of service you can expect and be confident about. They're still the same company we all know and respect. And as always, watch in HD! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGHR9uSj-R4 (Excuse my tiredness, just came back from a long day at work) PS: try to spot the Dwarf Golden Moray Eel. Link to comment

Red Halos: Saphira: PZ Speckled Fire Ice PZ PPRPE (After some time, the blue is FINALLY starting to kick in) Some of the lotus eaters (3/4) from the AquaScapers order: Some more zoas and palys (the last, 1/4, lotus eater from AquaScapers is the blue one on the far left) Link to comment

1.0reef Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Beautiful eel! I am SPEECHLESS from those red halos If my Tangerine Dreams get their color back and get bigger I want some Red halos! Link to comment
buddythelion Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 lolol So if she is your queen of the tank, then the picasso pair are the prince and princess? Definitely, except the gal picasso is definitely the one who wears the pants in the relationship. Beautiful eel! I am SPEECHLESS from those red halos If my Tangerine Dreams get their color back and get bigger I want some Red halos! Thanks 6 gallon, they really are super nice! I still want to see pics of those tangerine dreams! Here's some better pics of the Red Halos: Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 PZ Speckled Fire Ice Wow, these are very nice! I'm a sucker for bright orange or red Palys and Zoas. Just wondering if you have had any luck with one of my favorites, the 'Darth Mauls'? Great little eel, too! Link to comment
1.0reef Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Why don't you come and see them for real! Link to comment
buddythelion Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Wow, these are very nice! I'm a sucker for bright orange or red Palys and Zoas. Just wondering if you have had any luck with one of my favorites, the 'Darth Mauls'? Great little eel, too! I've tried Darth Mauls 2x, and they always end up melting (Even after 3+ months of having them and getting them to grow). I have nightmares, which look very similar to Darth Mauls but are much hardier. The Speckled Fire Ice is one of my favorites. They're bright, easy, and grow at decent rates. Why don't you come and see them for real! Miles away vs a pic away... Link to comment

buddythelion Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 I wrote a review for Planet Zoa on R2R, thought I'd share it with you guys! Hello fellow reefers, I hope the effort I took to make this review is worth it and you guys read/watch it! It's long, but all the more to show the effort I'm willing to go through to be thorough and probably the best way for a customer to show their appreciation. I always take the time to do a proper review for people whom I have pleasure doing business with and Travis, the man behind Planet Zoa, is definitely up there with my other favorite places to get my coral fix from. I've already done a review with my first order from him, around the time when he first opened his official business ( Planet Zoa feedback with pictures, Great place! ) so look there for pictures. But honestly, what's better than pics? Videos! So this time I've made a review video for Travis to show everyone exactly what you can expect from a top-notch seller like him. A little back story: I saw all of the insane packs that Travis was posting for such great prices and decided to ask if I could have my own custom pack. He gave me a deal I couldn't refuse, as I'm sure all of you other R2Rers have noticed in his sale threads. The list of zp's was finalized, and so began the wait. He even sent me pictures of the Florida Oranges under different lighting when I asked for some pictures. And now about those Florida Oranges... Man, those guys. Travis hit me up a week later, telling me that everything was fragged and looking good. All except for my Florida Oranges. But no fear, Travis noted that he made two frags, so hopefully things will go smooth. Another update later, looks like the single polyp was a goner and the other frag, a 2 polyp frag, was still holding on. He asked if I wanted to wait to see if they'll pull through and I agreed without hesitation. He updated me weekly, and finally after a long wait, for both of us, Travis PMs me telling me that they made it and are good to ship the following week. Travis deciding to wait and try on these Florida Oranges rather than give up has definitely impressed me, as I'm sure some other businesses would have shipped them out anyways or would have opted for a replacement. But not Travis, he had hope for these polyps and the patience paid off! Also note, the wait also meant my other frags were more fully healed. Double whammy! I also asked if I could order some more Speckled Fire Ice since my last ones from him were a favorite and I wanted another one to use as a propogating frag. He threw it in for free, without me asking. This guy definitely has my business. Also, do note that I only ordered single heads/polyps of my corals but look at what I get (2x agaves, FL Oranges, and 4x acans). Here's the vid and trust me, watch it to look at all of those super nice zoas! You won't find a vid with that many nice zoas in one line on youtube too often. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oncl54TuEjE...player_embedded Pics pics pics: Some from an older order: Yodas: Space Monsters (When I first got them they weren't colored up and looked really diff from the Space Monsters I knew of so I thought they were not Tyree. After a few months they've colored up and look very nice, my apologies for earlier): And now onto the new goodies, down the line: CAOs, definitely a LOT brighter then my CARs. Florida Oranges: Vampire Paly: Blue Agaves: God of War: Hellz Kitchen Acan: Link to comment

buddythelion Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 :wub: :wub: :wub:A MA ZING! Hey. You. Get those pics of that orange paly already! Diablo also had a new shipment of z+p's as well. Should check it out. Idk how pricing is going to be though, I bet it's going to be killer. Anyways, Here's my Hawaiin Zoa order from last week: Some Hawaiian PE with metallic purple spots: Freebie Hazy Purple PE: Blue Agaves: The blue agaves weren't as speckled/mottled as I hoped, and Jon has been over the top so I asked to order some more agaves from him, ones with more white patterns, and he's throwing in 2 polyps to make up for the last ones. Talk about a great guy! Should be arriving tomorrow. Link to comment
