watcha think? - new Rose Bulb

[mattseattle]

What do you think of my most recent purchase? I found this beautiful thing on E-bay for only 20.00 bucks! I dripped acclimated it for 2 hours then placed it in my tank. Within 30 minutes it was fully expanded and swaying in the water.

That is awesome Matt... so how much including shipping?

 

[reedman]

Nice indeed! I want one!

 

[NaH2O]

Very nice, Matt!

 

[Montanarocknreefer]

Very nice RBTA and great price!

 

[mattseattle]

i still haven't figured out the adjustments on my digital camera. the picture i posted doesn't do it justice (of course). it's much more red than the picture shows.

it was 50.00 total with shipping. even arrived in a thermos. great transaction. i couldn't find any locally for less than 80 - 100 bucks.

Cant wait for it to split so I can trade it with you with something



Usually, the olympus is more on the green side. So if you have IRFANVIEW.... Ctrl-G-> then bumped down the green by 10 or 15 then your good to go...

Or if you want you can always force your setting to make it more red a little bit on your camera settings.

Cant wait for it to split....

really nice deal matt....

Really nice score and great price too.

Just feed it everyother day or so and soak or inject the food with selcon for those added vitamins. Just watch it grow.

Seattle LFS's are really over changing at $80 - 100 dollars. Should be in the $40 - 50 range now adays.

[mattseattle]

yeah i've seen them higher than 100.00 dollars as well. liveaquaria.com wants 199.00 for the same size as what i got for 20.00 which is the 5 - 7" size.

crazy!

nope the shipping on mine was 33.00 and the anemone came in a nice igloo thermos.

some online places do charge 50 or 60 for shipping though.

I have been in the market for one myself. The cheapest in my area, the east coast has been for $80. You got a great deal!!! Anyone interested in a purchase of some nice corals, check this site out. www.drmaccorals.com

MWSALT:

Not sure what Dr mac has to do with Matt's nice new E. quadricolor, but it is usually considered BAD form to mention non-sponsors unless people are asking for opinions on where to purchase something.
