So I was lucky enough to get in on the $5 dollar bin deal Adam posted last week. I've decided I am going to try and document the changes these guys go through. I've always loved watching how frags morph as they settle in.
I've ordered from Adam several times now, and he doesn't disappoint. I love ordering a battlebox, I am truly the indecisive type when it comes to picking out corals. Usually at a LFS, I end up leaving without anything because I can't decide.
So my box came with no names on the bags, which is perfect. 1. I usually forget what they are anyway. I used to keep a list on my PC, but I couldn't match up the names with the corals if I tried. and 2. I just don't get into the naming thing. Several of them had significant growth on the plug, which is what I like to see. A couple looked like they had some issues when they got cut but we're recovering, those ones I took off the plug.
Anyway my frags got dipped in Bayer, I trust Adam, however I am of the opinion when it comes to pests it's not whether you are paranoid, it's are you paranoid enough...got them all mounted before the lights came on. I used the SWAG method (sophisticated wild *** guess) and placed them where I think they should go. I don't light acclimate, I don't like handling frags any more than I have to. I put them in place and tell them to deal with it!
I am rambling, here are the pictures (taken with a Note 8) of my brownies. Thanks to Adam, if you haven't ordered from him yet, you should. Anyone else that got a pack, feel free to post your pictures as well!
