Aquavista99,
I got 4 really nice frags from you out at the IndMas Frag swap recently - Sky Parade, Blue Demon, Purple Plasma and Raptor. Could you post a picture of each so that I can ID the frags better? I believe I know two of them but the other two frags look similar?
Thanks Rick
-
Let me dig them up for you if I can find where I saved them. The Raptor is over the top nice too. I took a few new pictures of various corals I am growing out recently as well. May need to take some new pictures of some of the frags you requested. :) The fuzzy Reef Hero Blue Demon that you received from me is a favorite too.

Wow!👍
-
Lightning in a bottle is a nice piece Tim. If you dont mind when you come up with a new av99 coral are they corals that you have imported and grow out to see what it blossoms into? For instance your orange crush has been a great coral that is offered by quite a few people now. How did you get and grow out that coral? Always wondered where the corals come from when the different collectors grow out to sell.
Jeff
-
Thanks for the compliment, Jeff. The Orange Crush was a local find many years ago. It came from Joel at Aquariums Etc back in 2005 or so (ie, from an Indo shipment he received). Back then, you could buy a colony for the price of a frag today. Over time, the Acropora Florida coral I purchased many years ago turned into something special. I don't import corals, just a hardcore hobbyist with a passion for the sticks going back well over a decade now.
My AV99 Orange Crush mother colony - photographed top-down in 2011 if I recall ;)

Tim,
thanks for sharing the pictures, great looking corals and my frags look really good as well.
Cheers!

Hey maybe one day you will be the next Jason Fox :)
Jeff

Jason Fox has amazing tastes in corals. If you visit his website, and click on "about," does the featured coral in the background look familiar? I am pretty sure I know where that coral originated from! ;) I have some of Jason's gems too, like the Homewrecker, Jolt, Fox Flame, Crazy Fox and others...
Hey maybe one day you will be the next Jason Fox :)

Blast from the past. My Reef Raft Canada Gold Stick arrived from the first and only release in 2012. When we moved to our new house in 2013, it was one of a few survivors but went dormant for almost 5 years until recently.
First picture is the original RRC Gold Stick mother colony

thanks for not blue lighting your pics. I hate to get on r2r and see all the people drooling over corals that have unreal coloration that you dont see under any normal lighting. Then try and make a fortune off sales. Ive been drawn down that route and wont again. (our common buddy crt is bad for that) Really weird how a coral will not grow for what seems like an eternity then all the sudden start to grow.

Behind the scenes....AV99's grow-out system. Local SPS hardcore collector for well over a decade. I will post pictures of my dream display tank soon. It's almost complete after many years in the making with total water volume exceeding 1,000 gallons when complete (display is 600g custom on-sight Reef Savvy build).
AV99's grow-out system (its very old school but works for me).

That skimmer is just a baby. Give everyone a look at your new skimmer to wet their appetite for your new system.

Love the updated pics Tim! That Orange Passion looks like it needs a trim...I think we’re going to have to discuss that. Looking forward to next week!
-
My favorite is the Raptor. I don’t know why that isn’t more popular with folks. I think it is truly unique and beautiful coral.

That is an awesome skimmer! You have more flow in your skimmer than I have in my tank. That old school bali green slimmer is very unique!

By invite I was able to meet with Tim and check out his collection. All I can say is WOW! Per the pics below, Tim really took care of me. Filled my whole frag rack and half of another at more than reasonable prices. Colonies so big I had to frag them up. Unbelievable colors under my hybrid T5/LED’s. Can’t wait to see how these things do.
Thanks Tim!!

Yes indeed. Jesse helped me clear out some room for some new arrivals. ^-^

I believe....this Walt Disney is the most beautiful coral I have ever seen in person. I am completely blown away by it!

I knew the WD would explode with color for you under your T5/LED fixture. It looks nice under my daytlight halides too ^-^

And the thing is, it looks good all day long! I ramp LEDs and then knock them down a bit when the T5’s come on for a few hours and then ramp down LEDs in the evening to straight actinic. The other corals look good in certain combinations but this WD is beautiful in ALL the combos. I love it!
-
AV99 is the real deal. I got my first frag from him at the IndyMAS swap and was thoroughly impressed. Going from his MH to my T5/LED set up had me a little concerned, but it took a very short time for my frag to return to looking as good as the day I bought it. A testament to the health of his corals!
Thanks Tim!
PS I still need a Matt V Rainbow from you!
Sincerely,
Toby

Awesome stuff! PM sent!

Stick addiction is contagious. ;) Glad to share the WD with you too!

Today I came home with 5 new frags that I picked up from Tim. As always his corals are the best. If you ever get the chance to go shopping with him jump at it. Not many corals that he does not have. Had to climb a 25ft ladder to get them but that is another story :)
Jeff

Let’s see what ya got?!
-
Thanks again for the helping hand, Jeff. Much appreciated. Glad to send you home with some nice sticks too.

how in the world do you get polyp extension like that our of your corals? I'm about to sell off my rig and find another hobby!

Just takes time and a little luck and then it should all come together for you. :)

Looking good!

Quite the collection! I have trouble taking a photo of the jolt, it’s so blue, it’s hard to believe the color in the picture is accurate but it is.

Nice Tim! Are these pics under the new bulbs? You got some nice color going on.

Thank you, Paul and Brian!

Agreed. Its a difficult coral to photoraph for me as well.

Thank you Jesse. Yes, the newest round of pictures were photographed under Hamilton 20K 400 watt Halides. Trying to adjust white balance is a challenge for me under blue light.
As for coral color, its an optical illusion. To the naked eye, the same corals look different under daylight lights versus blue lights. I prefer daylight as that is the way I see the corals on shallow reefs in the wild. When you put them under blue light without making adjustments for white balance, they look crazy Lol.
Here is a recent picture under heavy blues ... Its a smaller colony of my RRC Pretty in Pink ::) Just having fun with this image.

Even my blue corals look better under blue lights. AV99 Blue Thunder and Oregon Tort shine under the Hamilton 20k lights.

Thank you for nice compliment! I have made some progress on my big tank as well. Goal is to move coral and fish over soon ... its the slowest big tank build ever.

Everything you see PVC wise is now complete. Still not complete but getting close to the finish line.
