Yep! And with dinner we made frozen strawberry margaritas with it. Got it directly from Ninja, they keep selling out fast. But definitely worth it. Matt splurged when we both had a trash work day last week lol

Yeah I see it's out of stock everywheres!

How long did it take? Hubs will literally have iced coffee or even better a frappe every day no matter the weather. And I hate blending.

Less than 20 minutes? Sign up for the in stock notification, that's what we did.

Frappe spiked with Kahlua for a nice afternoon snack earlier.

This machine is pretty amazing.... I think frozen sangria is what I need to make next

Oohh I love shiny new things

I fully intended to get more tank stuff done yesterday, all I did was place orders

Did receive the connector pieces to try to build the light frame for the peninsula though.

So I've been looking into monsteras, and there seems to be different types, which is the go to? What am I looking for? Naturally attracted to variegated varieties, or anything different, weird/special.

You looking for big leaf variety or smaller?

Big bucket of salt sitting here staring at me....

Hopefully we can start to make some light frame progress this week so that I can finally get this monster started. The big hold up has been positioning - we need the light frame done so we can figure out if we need to move it at all. Moving it with water in any capacity will be impossible.

Maybe I should order sand too....

Maybe the more parts I have sitting around it, the faster we'll actually start to move

Will peer pressure help?

Yes, keep it up lol

Doing great! All aips gone, no harassment of anything else in the tank (I was worried about the big rfa and tube nem but they're both perfect). Gets along great with all the fish, super social, etc.

I spent my entire morning building 3 carts of gorgs/softies all totaling over $500 combined

One can dream

Yes.

Probably the smaller leafed varieties at least for now. I would love to live in the jungle but I do have a smaller house....

I'm about to walk out the door for work now, will follow up later

I still say Swiss Cheese but @danieyella is going to have way better suggestions.

Okay so, the big guys are deliciosa - you'll find variegated varieties more easily, but they grow into monsters. If you see anything suggesting they stay smaller, it's a lie or it's mislabeled.

Swiss cheese are a common smaller leaf variety, but also seriously easy to over water - those are the adansonii.

My personal favorite small guy is Rhaphidophora tetrasperma or "mini monstera" - I don't think it's possible to over water them, I'm pretty sure mine could live in a bog happily. Finding them variegated is a little more common than adansonii in my experience.

There's other types as well, but for smalls those 2 are my fav.

 

[Mhamilton0911]

Nice. I'll write those down!

I have seen the thai constellation one pretty frequently, is that the deliciosia type?

Any good online sources?

Yes, I've only ever seen deliciosa listed as Thai constellation.... Other more common varieties are mint, albo, sport, aurea, etc.

I've had luck with eBay and Etsy vendors for all kinds of plants to be honest, I just read reviews before I buy

We've gotten all of ours from locals. We only have Swiss Cheese and the normal Monstera variety. Our large Monstera recently has been getting Scale Bugs.

 

[Mhamilton0911]

Well I'm taking a chance here. Got a rooted single leaf of a variegated Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, and a pink princess philodendron too. Small but pretty.
