Nicely colored SPS minicolonies and frags - Abbotsford - Page 3

I'm very disappointed and now a little frustrated with the frags I got..........

They were "supposed" to be FRAGS, and unfortunately I got COLONIES!!!

I had to pick up a 2nd Frag Rack, thinking it would be enough to hold all the frags. Got the Styrofoam box home, started unpacking (which was very well packed), then that's when I noticed the sizes of these buggers! At that point I didn't think my 2 frag racks would be enough.

If they were just "regular" frags it wouldn't be a problem, but I'm talking HUGE pieces here. The Purple Cross is about 6" and the Tri-Colour is about 4" all around. I was forced to spend the night moving things around and mounting the majority of the beautiful pieces.

I wasn't fortunate enough to go myself to pick up the pieces, but I have a great friend that did the pickup for me. Even though I didn't go, I think I still managed to grab a piece of EVERYTHING. Haha!

Be forewarned, if you're not looking for COLONY sized pieces for FRAG prices, don't go to Denis.

Thanks again for all the goodies Denis!!!

lol.... reefie, was tough for me to decide if you were being serious at first... because it sounded like u were sincerely frustrated... I honestly feel bad for you that you were not able to go out and see denis' system... I have gone out there 3x now... and almost have the entire "Denis collection" lol... I left one last piece just so I could go back and look at it again some time ;0) It truly is the nicest system I have EVER seen in person!

Just wanted to say thanks to everybody that came over and also those that didn't make it in person.
I uploaded new pictures in my photobucket gallery.
Enjoy.

I would love to get some frags off you but I'm far, far away on the north shore.
Can you let me know next frag time and I'll jump in.

Thanks reffie(ken) for the frag I got from you this weekend.

Cheers,

Hi Ginu,

Anytime you feel like going for ride, let me know. I keep my frag tank stocked pretty much the whole year, it's this time of the year I actually have time to deal with it. That also explains the size of these frags, most of those were year old.
Just shoot me a PM when you have time.
Cheers.

I was drooling at home looking at the picture of your tank when knowing that somebody got so many nice big frags from you and I got nothing

Why you live too far from me, Denis ? I would love to get the yellow tort frag from you, but I think I have to spend more than $50 gas for that frag

This is the only reason Dennis can keep these frags in the grow out tank for that long. Just imagine if he was in town... I think his tank will be have a lot smaller colonies.

What "special" ones??? Rich, I told you to grab me one of EVERYTHING! You're supposed to distract Denis and when he's not looking grab his "private" collection!!! Haha!

Hey I'd be in for some "special" ones too. 😉
