I was really surprised to come across a current article with my name in it. Definitely worth a read!

Hey great to see you Bret! Thanks for the great deals homie! I’m very excited to be getting back into the hobby. Blessings!!

That's pretty [language filter] cool frank

Shoot me a PM @softy, if you've got a true watermelon and you'd to sell it

Ok awesome Garrett. I definitely want some BGM

Very nice of you to offer. To be more specific, I'm looking for one that is bright pink or red with green eyes and rim.

What do you have Garrett? I'm down to check out your shop. I'm really just after a nice watermelon colony. I don't care about the brand name.

Who's got a watermelon chalice they want to sell?

Nice tank! Rose bubbles have always been one of my favorites. That lobo is really nice too. I saw that last time I was at rosecity.

ReefKeeping NorthWest is not meant to be competition for this site. It is meant to be an informational resource for reef keepers all over the northwest. It is not a club however we do have programs that will be working directly with the pnwmas club. Such as our "Corals for Kids" program which will be donating corals to the PNWMAS "Tanks for teachers"and other similar programs.

I encourage everyone to check it out and join the discussion. We can even add a forum for the PNWMAS club if there is interest.

OOMG Brad.

One is OME and the other is just ME.

So what you're trying to say is Brad is WRONG.. What you're trying to say is Brad is WRONG (laugh)

The original mummy eye and Oregon mummy eye are distinctly different in pigmentation when grown side by side. There is only one Oregon mummy eye. So to call it the original Oregon mummy eye seem a bit redundant and seems a bit redundant.

That is an awesome chalice. It was very interesting to read the story. The Oregon mummy eye has a great home grown story. I originally purchased a small frag with just 3 tiny eyes from Nick at Rosecity for $40. Chalices weren't going for that much back then. I let my frag grow for almost 2 years before finally making a frag to trade with Perry who owned OIAB at the time. He put it on ebay and it was selling for $200-$300 for a tiny frag with one eye. later that year the NW-CFM happened here in Portland and I met Steve Tyree and in conversation had mentioned this awesome chalice. He was immediately interested and gave me his contact info. so I could send him a photo. As soon as he saw the photo he was sure he wanted to make the coral an LE or AE through reeffarmers.com. I chose the name Oregon mummy eye because it closely resembles another popularized coral on the market called "mummy eye chalice" and I also wanted to give Oregon some props. The rest is history.

Here is a the photo of my original colony that I showed to Steve Tyree.

That's a very nice chalice. To me it looks similar to the pink boobies or vivid echino.

I'll take backup duty if needed.

Didn't know you had a shop Isaac, I'll have to check it out. Been years since I've seen you, hope all is well.

Thanks Pete,

It has been a long time. It would be good to see you.

Hello fellow reef enthusiasts,

I am in need of some one to help with shop maintenance this Saturday from 1pm-4pm. The job pays $10/hour in credit toward coral.

This is a one time gig. I have a regular helper that will not be available this weekend so I need a fill in.

Thanks.(fish)

I really don't care if you buy local or not. Last time I checked this was a free country. I am interested in buying a large colony of BGM though. That is a great deal and on the BGM too. Sooo. hook me up with his email so I can buy that entire BGM. : )

Shoot me an email at doncoraleone@gmail.com. I no longer accept PM's here. Thanks!

I'm interested in a 10 eye piece of the BGM but I would like it cut and healed before shipping. Maybe you can pass Aarons contact info. along to me. I might be interested in buying an even larger piece from him.

The Emerald mummy eye and original mummy eye were originated by a guy named Jeremy that also created coralpedia. He is the person I purchased my seed colony from. Just letting you know.

Locally there is a colony of the true emerald mummy eye with 13 eyes for ..........never mind..............
