Here's a little update from past Battleboxes I've received from Adam. I have another on the way this Saturday and really am excited to see what I get!

Here's some random pics of past corals I've received from past orders.

Magic Wand. This one is neat! Super polyp extension on this guy!

Figured I'd try again with the Space Laser. Pic isn't much better. Very nice one though! Can't wait to see this guy grow up!

For those that have the SWK Invalida. The area I have mine in isn’t full strength light...do these guys like intense light and high flow?

I haven’t seen mine take off that month ch in the last 2 months, so I’m thinking a relocation might be in order...

@Battlecorals ?

As always thanks everyone!

I've had mine about 2 and a half months. It's growing good. I have it at the top of my rock work. Getting lots of light and flow.

Ordered another Battlebox and Adam just slammed it. As usual, it was perfectly packed.

Gave him a wishlist with 4 priority groups. Asked him to just round out the box according to his taste depending on what he could do from my list. Told him a couple of types I was looking for.

From left to right: Awarewolf, Bubblebath Unicorn, Pro Corals Rainbow Acro, Reef Ready Grape Juice, Sun god Prostrata

I asked for 4 and got 5. He sent 4 from my top two groups and the Grape Juice was a curveball not on my list. Love them all!

Color in pic doesn't do justice of course but look at that PE and encrusting. The Awarewolf and Sun god have a beautiful bright yellow at their tips. The PC Rainbow is almost 2 inches and a nice chunky Unicorn

. I was going to try for better color pics but honestly I just ended up mounting them on the rock along with last weeks order. Anyone who's wondering what color they are can look at the website which has been spot on for colors.

Thanks again Adam.

Just received my third order, but first Battlebox. As always amazing service and amazing frags. Adam replaced a few frags I lost in a battle with Dinos...which I have won as best I can tell. He replaced 3. I ordered a 6 box and Adam gave me 9!! Some of the frags.

Picked up my own battle box this week as an addition to my snipes blue grow out order! Extremely impressed with everything, the corals are incredible, the shipping was outstanding, and communication from Adam was awesome.
When I was cutting these open to acclimate, I didn't even realize these were double bagged and after cutting through one and seeing no water come out I thought Adam performed some sort of shipping voodoo to keep them in the bag. Nicely done!

I asked Adam to pick them out for me, only stating I'm under LEDS, and overall, I'm very happy with what he sent. In no particular order I ended up with the Dragonfly, Shades of Fall, Paletta Pink Tip, Fox Flame, Secale, Rainbow Brite, Vivid Rainbow and Bohemia Talk. (and the snipes blue)
Also, Adam, whats the story around the Bohemia frag ? I'm not seeing it on the website or on any other posts. New, old?

Pictures taken about 8 hours after putting into the tank.

Just got mine in today. Had him add to the sniper's grow out order.
Only request was a stag or two, and a spath if he had one. Thats about as far as I can get, if I had to pick the others, I'd probably never place an order, or end up in the poor house.
As always, he hit it out of the park!!

Honestly, I my jaw just kept dropping lower and lower with each bag I pulled out of the box.
I'm the only one at the house right now, and as I unpacked the box, the dogs kept looking at me, and then at each other, like "What's he yelling for?? We're all just laying here.."

Here's a few more with T5 only on. Kessils shut off before I took these.

DO you mind me asking what PAR or where you keep your Soda Popinski also how much flow on yours. Mine is doing nicely and just starting to color up after a few months.

No idea on what the par is. Don't have a meter, yet. It's about 14" under a Kessil 380we(80%int and 60%color) and 3" to the left. I also have 4 t5s over the tank. Best guess would be 200-250 par. It was actually in low flow for months as well. I just added a small Jebao in that area to help though. Doesn't seem to be a super fast grower for me but it is growing upwards for sure. Not encrusting much, which I find kinda odd.

That’s why i asked mine is encrusting nicely but no upward growth lol. So I was curious. I have crazy flow in my tank. PAR is at 140-50 on that piece and it seems to really like it there. But as you can see it has not colored up yet. I assume it’s because it is not ‘ready’ yet and still encrusting.

Lowering alkalinity and increasing lighting intensity has helped me with coloring up some of these. My alk runs around 6.5dkh. I dose it to 7 max. Kinda doing this as an experiment to be honest. I also increased the intensity of my Kessils from 30% to 80% in the past 10 days.

My system has low nutrients. I got sick of dosing no3 and po4. Thought I'd see what happens with a lower alk target instead. Seems to be paying off but it's only been a month with it that low. Used to be mid 9s.
