I def won't do that again, frag swap noob over here, only my second trip. The frag itself is healthy and fully expanded now. I'll try to grab some pics next wk, won't have time this wknd.

Torch pics: under extreme blue More neutral light If you squint hard enough, you might see a couple of the tentacles glow a hint of gold. 😄 1 3 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 LOL did they paint it gold at the swap and the color came off? if you are ever down by Chicago area, I will frag you a head of real gold torch =P. Actually, now that I think about it, my gold torch initially was not that gold. Took almost 6 months for the gold color to intensify so this may still turn around for you! 2 Quote Link to comment

And yes, that’s sorta a great news. R u talking about the gold torch in your evo? Does that mean they like high light? I’m hiding it from too much direct flow under the Montis right now.

My red planet has not shown much of its signature red/green color combo until now, it only took 2+ years and a lot of up’s and down’s (many more downs than ups). iPhone pic, but colors are spot on Journaling: the alk consumption is increasing. The alk was around 6.5 dKH last night, bumping up the doser’s daily run-time by 2 minutes. This gets me to 10 minutes over 5 doses. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

For some reason, they prefer encrusting on my LR and creep up the rock instead. 3 Quote Link to comment

That one is about 6" across the two sides, it's a single colony with two wings. If you look up a few posts, you'll see how each side extends up from the center in the FTS. I've always had pretty good experience with Monti. Give it time, steady supply of alk and ca, and it will take off. 1 Quote Link to comment

WAMAS serves the whole the DC Metro area. Only other one I know of somewhat local is CMAS but they are located in the Baltimore/MD Eastern shore. WAMAS does a good job of splitting the four meeting locations between VA (usually Tysons/McLean area) and MD (Bethesda area). 1 Quote Link to comment
