Collection only unfortunately, he does not have the boxes and heat packs to post. May be worth PMing him to see if you sent them to him, whether he would post then.

Will PM link to the thread.

just one pic for you tonight.

These are two out of 4 corals i got today. From a sound bloke in nottingham. Lovely tank he had aswel. Just unpacked them here. They mucased up after going in the tank, then lights went off so il take propper pics soon.

Nice large pink hysterix and a decent sized green acro.
Hysterix is probably4 fists size and the acro as tall my hand.

Then i got frags of these in the post. Not much to look at thoughas they are quite small.

both montis, plan on having my tank dominated by montis - different colours. They grow quicker and are easier than acros ime

 

[TigerIssey]

That looks a nice hysterix Ben. Acro seems a decent size too.

Is the purple one Montipora digitata?? I do like that one.

You are going to need a new camera if you want to photograph the polyps on these chuck.

Look forward to the piccies

 

[ben1987]

yeah digitata it is.

i know about the cam too! added to the ever growing shoppin list. The more i get into my corals the more i want to do them justice when showing them off to you guys. Car insurance month though, reckon they will be my last buys for now.

Car Insurance is a nightmare if you are under 25. I went down for me again last year, I don't pay much on a Shogun Sport 3 litre V6 auto at all (may as well insure it for just sitting on the drive at the mo though, been 10 months since I drove it), Yet I did when I bought it 2 yrs ago. Less than £400 a yr for me now. So glad, I can remember £1000 car insurance bills, but I did have a penchant for sports cars.

What do you drive??

Its my Birthday month this month so will be having more than usual. I had the Torch off mom but will get money from Andrews mam and dad, his sister, my auntie etc not forgetting Andrew himself. There will be a shopping spree at the end of the month I think (29th is Birthday, think its a Saturday too).

 

[ben1987]

its only a corsa sri, 2005 one so not like its worth much either. But its still 650 quid a year and im 21 now. Although when i was 17 it was nearly 2 grand. It will be getting sold in a couple of months though i hope. Got my advanced test in about 6 weeks. So as long as i pass il be getting shut and buying something for the weekends as il be in 1.3l diesel L car for work im sure il look so cool

You know your into this hobby when you use birthday presants up on corals I bought my torch in december with some birthday money actually.

You can say that again.

I was lucky I think, I think it was people my age that got the car insurance upped for younger people. The most I paid was £998 on a Nissan 200SX Turbo. Most of the cars have been about the £800 mark to insure but the Nissan was the worst, I was only 19. I lived when Max Power was THE magazine to buy and everyone had THE sound system in the car. I even had the pioneer stereo that had the picture of the twin towers rotating on it or something else. Everyone congregated at Maccies on a Sunday evening in THE cars to have. My first car was a nova and that cost enough to insure. My boyfriend before Andrew had a Sierra Cosworth, full leather, heck that was fast, you were always pulled by the police aswell, someone that young cannot have cars like that, you had to nicked them in there eyes.

You could still get leaded petrol when I first passed my test too.

what annoys me about insurance these days is its half the price for women as a pose to men Lol
i got a mock up quote the other day for a 1998 golf gti i bought to work on...and it came to 4000 quid!
looks like im going to have to go on my mums insurance.

Ben you have made my day, I am 31 at the end of the month

Truck, we us women are supposed to be more careful drivers, I have to say the first time I insured the Nissan, my dad insured it for me, it was cheaper for me to insure his carlton GSI than the Nissan.

Nice to see you posting again by the way.

I got a quote for a Manta GTE just before I passed my test, they wanted £3500 for that, shame I would have only paid £400 for the car from my dads mate.

I always had wicked alloys too, a set of TSW Ribs went on my Celica that I only got rid of 4 yrs ago. Problem then is you need modified insurance.

This year could be a problem, got to get a left foot accelerator fitted because of my leg and have to fill in forms for DVLA to decide if I can drive with the disability. Will need specialised disabilty insurance then.

Have always been in to cars, my dad always worked on them when I was a kid.
