mitten_reef Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 @xiaoxiy, got any room left on the SPS Canyon? 1 Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 my goodies arrived !! So far so good, everyone is nice and warm with the included heat pack, even though the temp outside is below freezing this morning here in MI. The box was very well packed similar to what I recall on my last order with CR - full insulated box, not just a bunch of styrofoam sheets as I experienced with another online vendor. Pics to come this evening/tonight. Thank you, @Cultivated Reef 5 Quote Link to comment

They are predicting 12"-18" of snow up here today! 3 Quote Link to comment
TheBig053 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Ran over to the Fedex Office Center during lunch to pick up my shipment, then stopped by the house to unbox and get things floating. Everything looked happy through the plastic bags. I'll try to get some photos up after I've dipped/acclimated later this evening, or tomorrow depending on how pissed off everything looks. Hah. Thanks @Cultivated Reef! Happy Birthday to me! 3 Quote Link to comment

TheBig053 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Well here it is.... Lookng all pissed off after a dip! I'll take an official contest photo tomorrow or Thursday when its looking a little more photogenic. I also just came to the realization that we don't own a ruler ai can use for this. More fish tank supplies to purchase.... ? The RFA I included with my purchase looks awesome. Here are a few photos. RFA is also looking a little pissed off/squinched up. Can't wait to see everyone's frags as they arrive. 4 1 Quote Link to comment

mitten_reef Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Here’s the iPhone shot of my frag. I put a standard frag plug behind for scale built out a special frag rack that extend into the center of the tank, utilizing the gap between my two islands. Found reasonably acceptable photos from the camera shoot the other night. semi-topdown first and front shot I really love how rich the purple is on the polyps, hope it stays that way @Nola Bear, does a frag plug constitute a scale? If not, it won't be until this weekend that I can get small plastic ruler to take my "official" initial photo with, just FYI. 5 Quote Link to comment

In fact I just sent a piece out to a person who made a point to mention that after receiving it that it was indeed the real Leng Si. Apparently he had purchased a few of them over the years and never got a true one. Ours is from a colony that is over 10 years old so I'm guessing its before most of the imposters haha! So let's hope I'm not misleading you 3 Quote Link to comment
Cannedfish Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Welp, @Nola Bear you have another fish-on-the-line! Just completed my order. In addition to the contest frag, I messaged @Cultivated Reef about the possibility of ordering a key party surprise acro frag. Despite the oddity of the request, they were incredibly helpful and were able to make it happen. So it will be exciting to see what sort of fun arrives, in the indomitable words of my law school roommate, "strange is fun when it doesn't necessitate penicillin." Basically, the next week or so will be like the lead up to Christmas without the underlying dread of hosting your in-laws. 4 Quote Link to comment

So let's hope I'm not misleading you I’m even happier to have found the holy grail of leng sy caps then! I had assumed from the spelling change from Sy to Si that it was a good look-alike, but I’d prefer to be wrong about that. :-) 2 Quote Link to comment
Cultivated Reef Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Do I have that spelled wrong?? Lol I suppose I shouldn’t be to surprised by that! 2 Quote Link to comment
TheBig053 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 First check in! A little pissed at myself for bumping it with the measuring tape and making the polyps retract but oh well. Weighing in at a hair short of 3/4"... hailing from Maine and training in Springfield, VA... Upscales "TheBig053's Competition Frag" Microladeeesssss! That doesn't roll off the tongue like it did in my head. And some cockeyed FTS for schnitz'n'giggles. Good luck ya'll! 4 Quote Link to comment
