soprano replacement growout

[Tabasco1]

Just thought I would post here. I am ok with the RDPE as the replacement for the soprano. Could we please get a re-cap of the others that will be replaced? Is the entire replacement pack being replaced? Did 2 make it? If so which two made it? I am not able to tell anything from the pics.

Thanks!

Hey guys, quick update as I'm still staying for my qualifiers (wish me luck they start friday).

I had four frags of god of war cut, each 1 to 2 polyps and six frags of arm 2 cut 1 to 3 polyps each (these guys were starting to look bad so dragged them good)

The frags of god of war look good
Two of the frag of the arm 2 came u glued and even thought it is in my drag tank I can not find the missing polyps for the life of me. I cut smaller frags just in case of something like this though and will cut some new ones off of the original. There is about 8 polyps on it still.
I plan to cut up the pink hippos and laser lemons next. When I cut them do you prefer I do one to two polyp frags in case of a frag or two melting or unglueing?

Did the replacements get shipped?

Thanks!

 

[Tabasco1]

Bump bump!! Where are we on this? Did we decide on the RDPE? Have they shipped and been recieved? Are we still waiting on anything for this?
Thanks!!

I am working on my PhD in Mechanical/Computational engineering...and maybe a second bachelors in computer science with an emphasis on parallel algorithms. Yes ^we whey with rdpe..

Sorry it is taking me so long to reply...I have been working on my qualifiers (which will be over this friday) and broke my phone (which is how I access r2r).

I am working out the final shipping details and the polyps should be sent soon...akwarius wants to be paid the shipping fees for the replacements, that is what I am waiting to here about. The replacement drags will be a little smaller but they are free...so yay for that. Sorry I have been so slow to reply, please just be patient with me one more week.

 

[Tabasco1]

Thanks! Let me know if you need help facilitating with Akwarius if you are too busy. I'm happy to help. Good luck with your qualifiers!

 

[Tabasco1]

Bump. Any update on this since the PM? Are we final with the RDPE? Do we just need to send over payment for shipping? When is the expected ship date? Is everyone on board with this?

 

[oigimsar]

I'm on board....just waiting to hear where to send the $.

 

[bct15]

Go ahead and send it to me...

[email protected]

I'll send it to akwarius. Yes we had selected the rdpe as the replacement. Sorry about not logging on in a while, my phone is broken which is my primary source of getting on.

 

[Tabasco1]

I'll send this afternoon. Do you think we should take communication to email until you can get on the site regularly? Whatever is easiest. I'd still like to get regular updates. How's it going with the main grow out? I don't need/want anything until I return from vaca June 17 anyway so I am not in a hurry, but would like to know.

So, is this the "Real Deal" RDPE? What is a Real Deal RDPE anyway? Is that one that is lineaged to CC? I don't really care as long as it is real pretty and stuff :nerd:.. but just curious.

 

[Tabasco1]

Pmt sent!

 

[Tabasco1]

YO! Am I the only one who has paid? Do you think we should send PM or direct email? Would love to get this show on the road.

BCT-Also, I meant to ask since you are the main contact for Akwarius, do you know if the the RDPE has been cut? I hope so and has been healing during our long organizational period. It would be my preference that the frag be healed at least 2 weeks before shipping. For the others too, but the RDPE is my main concern.

Thank you so much!

The replacements are getting here Thursday, I think it had been cut for a while...not sure but that is my guess

I paid last week and I thought someone else had already paid too.

 

[bct15]

Yes everybody involved payed their share...

The replacements arrived today, here they are soaking in 18 oz of aquarium water and the dip the original seller sent with them

The **** beach wasnt in there and the psycho trippin did not need to be replaced. I have some polyps that are similar to **** beaches and psycho trippin. The rdpe is quite small but looks like it has been on the plug for a while. They are all in the frag tank and nothing is open yet.

Above is a shot of the rdpe.

 

[Tabasco1]

Thanks for receiving! I hope it opens up soon! Did we only receive 4 replacements? I thought this is what was supposed to be replaced:
Soprano morph
Black magic
Psycho Trippin
Blue rhino
Princess Toadstools
Eclipse
**** beach

Subbing the RDPE for the Soprano Morph.

 

[bct15]

Rdpe still hasn't openned and is not exhibiting the typical bright colors on the protective sleeve (the thing the polyp retracts into). I'll keep an eye on it, the eclipse have opened but are very very tiny, the blue rhino looks partially opening, the other polyp isn't open fully yet either. I'll let you guys know how it works out in a couple more days.

 

[Tabasco1]

I was wondering about this. Have we communicated this to akwarius? I thought there were 6-7 in the replacement including the black magic. Is that what we received?

Thanks for the update!
