Although those are some nice pics you took Nikki, they don't do the corals justice. This whole shipment was absolutely INSANE!! Every single acro has wicked colouring and there are some huge colonies aswell. It's going to be tough picking the ones that I want. Thats the only complaint, is that there is too much selection and it is very hard to limit yourself. :neutral:

I would suggest that if you are in the area today, to stop by and take a look at these EXTRAORDINARY CORALS!!

As for selection, ha ha ha. Variety is the spice of life isn't it? ;) Will power and self control my friend :wink:

Those corals look great. I hope you have some stuff in stock like that when I'm there in two weeks. BTW what brands of salt do you carry?

Adiction

Hi, my name is Keith "Haloreef" and I have an adiction, an Aquatic Adiction. I can not seem to stop buying SPS corals. It is starting to affect my home life. I did not get home untill 3:30am. this morning because I was helping unload the shipment at A.A. Well, at least my wife knows where I am at all times!
I do not know if any of this shipment lost any color in shiping but man is it bright and the photos do not do justice to the SPS. and some of the colonies are huge!
Granulosa, Suhorasohni, Torts, Tenuis, Montis and stuff I don't have a clue! Yet!
Thanks again guys!

You know me "DaNiki"... see you later today!
Keith.

Nice stuff. Any fish? And what was the dates again that is hard to ship by plane? I thought Dan told me from Dec.14-Jan.5 By the way this is Bill from P.G. and was wondering if my fish that I ordered came in.

HOLY COW!!!! is the most polite way i can put it. i have never and i mean never come home with such a big box of stuff. every killer was a 'oh my god look at that' even with the box i took it doesnt look like i even made a dent. the sps is by the far the hottest shipment i've seen. every piece fully extended, rich color and no sign of death. there was even a colony with a family of acro crabs. i got some wicked rhodactis and zoas for the new tank too. i gotta say the pics do not do justice. absolutely well worth the drive to see guys.

Makes me wish I lived closer, i guess I'm just gonna have to hope that one of the shops here buys from the same supplier and gets some of that great coral here sometime soon.

Ha Thanks for the help last night. It was greatly appreciated! And of course for the laughs today as always. I think it's time for you to get the other tank up and going though! You are out of room in the current system and I don't know how much more you can fit into it before you are going to have to start bringing stuff back :twised::mrgreen:

Hi Marty,
It was nice to meet you today and we are so happy you made your way out to see us. We look forward to seeing you again :) We would love to see pics of how those corals are looking in your system next time your out this way.

Colin,
It's always a pleasure watching you 'like a kid in a candy store' checking out every coral and making decisions :lol:. You may have to sign up with Keith for meetings in the future:razz::mrgreen: I am glad you claimed those Rhodactis because if you hadn't you know where they would have ended up ;)
You picked some fantastic pieces!!

Dan and Nicki at AA

Yes, I agree Haloreef does need a intervention. His problem is coral. When he comes home from the store he is " Happy as a clam " "Guess what" he says - an proceeds to educate me on coral and bugs in the water etc etc. (I groan but he can seem to hear me)
If he is not at the store he's saying " I have to check canreef, it will only be a minute" Well a minute in his head is 45 minutes for the rest of us!
-obviously dinner gets cold as hes checking out canreef
-House work does not get done. Coming home late 3 to 4 days a week, because he's at AA.
-He was only was able to get two snow tires onto his car, well thats not going to work out to well now - is it?
-he can not remember what day it is !
- not getting enough sleep !
- has only purchased one christmas present - Humph!
- denying he has a problem (while talking to me )and then admitting online he has a problem - sheesh!
I wish I could put a device on the car so it has to bypass the store - I need a "lock" on the computer...oh who am I kidding ...he just went to the "gym" and I can bet he is on his way to AA right now. I will start sending grocery money with him so you can feed him.
bye for now, Wife of Haloreef. ( probablly see you this afternoon as usual , guess you should show me how to work the till! )

keith you enable my addiction to hobby. if i just stay away from you i would be fine, but no you are just a big leach and mooch of AA like me and we just feed off each other. no i just need to learn to distract you long enough so i can steal the 'sweet' one off ya at the store.

Haloreef

12-08-2008 04:33 PM

Addiction

C'mon Colin, I enable you? I think it may be all Dan and Nikki's fault.
You may be right though, you and I will have to stop going into the store at the same time. It's just a control issue. Hey if you can't be bothered to show up on the nights the shipments come in you will have to settle with what I pass over. I will bring in your frag of Christmas Tree Milli. this week end.
I was in on Sunday again still tons of great stuff up for grabs.
Man I hate Mondays. AA is not open and it's like going cold turkey!
Keith.

So this is where Hidden Reef used to be?
Did the store layout change much?

niloc16

12-10-2008 03:04 AM

it is in the same location. the layout is somewhat the same but looks alot different. they are changin up the tanks. where the planted tank used to be they are turning into saltwater. its gonna be killer. they are replacing the lighting on the tanks, there is too much to list. its awesome in there. you gotta check it out, i'm addicted

Aquatic Addictions

12-10-2008 05:37 AM

Colin and Keith...lol.. you two crack me up :razz:

Argon.. The layout is the same (for now) , however we have done extensive work to all the fish and coral systems. We have re-done almost all of the plumbing, added new skimmers, new lighting, RO Units, reactors etc. We had to have custom supports made for the larger tanks and finished installing those last week (that was a job that we never want to do again!) . All the 'Behind the scenes' equipment that keeps the tanks in healthy working order were our first priority.
We have plans in the works for alot of changes over the coming months :)
