Received my first box today. Adam was very communicative and helped me pick some hardy sps (my firsts).
Things were packed well and the preprinted label is nice. I ordered 8 but got 9 pieces. Pictures taken a few minutes after placed in tank.
Sounds like a fun adventure
I always say, “Lucky is the indecisive BC patron who’s mind is not easily made up.” Well, to be honest, I don’t actually say that verbatim, in fact I have never said exactly that once. But, I do suggest something very much to that effect, to anyone that elects to have me assemble for them, a pack based on their tastes, budget, skill level and their needs. Rather than hand pick a custom pack from the site.
Now I hate to play favorites and I really don’t with customers at all. Everyone will get the best cut I can muster of whatever they have purchased. But here is the low down on grab bags. When you extend to me the courtesy of selecting and cutting your pack, it is a gesture that I appreciate wholeheartedly and I tend to return it exponentially. Meaning, grab bags seem to always include larger choice cuts and are exceptional samples of my expansive collection.
You see, when I get to pick the pack out, I’ll skim over some possibly more popular, but ravaged, over fragged and abused mothers. Instead I go right for the prime cuts of personal favorites, underrated and under appreciated wonders, and coral that I am able to cut larger healthier frags from. Often I’ll include gems not even on the site yet which can be the greatest reward of all, as many of you can attest to. And no duds either. These aren’t a means for me to dump all my less popular stuff. My systems are cramped enough as it is. I do not have room at all for anything less than highly desirable.
I call them grab bag packs. I absolutely love to do them and always go a little overboard on them when I do! So if you are one of the less picky reefers out there, maybe your just starting out with sps and don’t really know what you want, or maybe just cant quite decide. Perhaps you simply have enough faith in me to pull it off for you, or maybe you just love surprises!
If you are saying to yourself, "Hey yeah. Thats me", then explore the option of a Battlecorals Grab bag pack. I am 100% positive that you will be delighted when you open that box.
And I invite any of you that have gotten grab bags from me to chime in, post pics if you want, and let me know how I did on yours!
mine too!Tracking says something will arrive tomorrow morning
Got a battlebox and a few other pieces I really wanted from Adam this week and I must say, I am blown away. This was my first online coral order so I was skeptical but the corals speak for themselves. There are a few frags that I got from local hobbyists but ALL the chunky ones were from BC. Adam was in contact with me through the entire order and got me my box within a day of placing the order. I'll definitely be buying from him again.
