Yes, they are sick!

Been so busy I haven't updated in a while. The gold torches didn't make it. All 4 died probably due to shipping but not sure. I did pick up a wall frogspawn and a browned out bonsai since though.

Hopefully the seller made it right for you! I really like your new additions!

I didn't get 4, just one. We are good friends and he took a pretty decent loss on the other 3. They are pricey though! I'll definitely try another if they become available. I absolutely love the gold torch.

Picked up some armor of the god's yeterday and s nice fat bright green RFA (for $15!) today. I was told the armor of the god's where the 'real deal' but google shows so many variations who knows. The name isnt what attracted me to them. They went right where all those red dragon eyes once where.

I took all these photos with my new phone. (htc one m9) It seems to do pretty decent. Alot better than my old phone!

Here are some better photos taken with the camera.

Gonna get me one of those fancy cameras that i know nothing about one day.

For now the little power shot will do.

drstratton · Feb 23, 2016

Wow, that takes some nice photos!

Thanks. Yea it does pretty decent considering that I bought it brand new many years ago for $100. The gel filter helps alot with the color under the actinic photos though.

drstratton · Feb 23, 2016

I have some gel filters and I need to try and use my Canon, I'm just not happy with the pictures from my phone. I'll think my picture is focused, but most times they come out blurry and the color isn't that great either!

I got the ok from the wife on upgrading my lighting. This is what I went for. Looks extremely similar to the radion's diodes for alot less chedar. Still was higher than what I wanted to pay along with no reviews yet that I could find. 2 year warranty and serviced in the USA. So excited for this to show up!

My current lights have been good to me, but the particular fixture I have has 1 powercord, 2 channels (blue and white) and NO DIMMERS! I have made it work but Ive really wanted to go full spectrum with a built in timer for a while now.
