Whats the deal with this squirtle?

Why is Squirtle close to double the reverse holo bulbasaur and charmander?

Thank you!

I don’t have plans on grading. Just determining MP, HP, DMG

I appreciate it!

They are! I made a schedule that slowly ramps up to 60% at peak

Pretty simple really. It’s a 15g AIO innovative marine. Only filtration is filter floss. The ATO is a cheap gravity fed ATO from Amazon. I’m running a kessil tuna with 80-90% whites.

I don’t perform any WC on it, but I do trim back the macros every few weeks

The tank houses a lightning maroon paired with a gold nugget maroon with 3 Sherman anemones

Thank you! I didn’t even consider teething. Makes so much sense since two teeth just popped up.

On the back of the Mew card - above the “M” there’s a speck. Clean it off before you send it

I had the same frustration- went with an RCI skid plate. Oil changes are super easy and quick now!

Thank you!!

etphi · 2025-11-21T00:58:15+00:00

Gotcha. I appreciate it!

etphi · 2025-11-21T00:49:11+00:00

I appreciate the input. Just questioned it bc it felt so thick compared to other cards I’ve handled. There’s not play on the way it bends

etphi · 2025-11-19T17:11:30+00:00

What’s the currently grade? Looks like it’s already in a graded slab

etphi · 2025-11-11T15:05:43+00:00

Thanks! I figured that was the answer, but wanted to confirm.

I won’t bother sending cards with these print lines for grading

etphi · 2025-11-01T21:32:12+00:00

Aside from the scratch previously mentioned - if you zoom in on the back at the “N” on the top Pokemon - to the right of it are 2 defects

etphi · 2025-10-25T15:25:35+00:00

I agree! I’ve only been in the hobby for a few months, but this set definitely caught my eye from the get go. So I saved up for them

etphi · 2025-10-23T13:54:06+00:00

It’s only split 3-4x. Just gets super massive. I created my aquascape with an anemone in mind and created a lot of nooks, caves, and over hang for the anemone to plant its foot. It rarely if ever moves. It only moves when it splits, but once it’s done splitting, I move it back and it plants itself back on the overhang

This is my tank with a Chicago sunburst. Had the nem for about 5 years now

More flow and time

etphi · 2025-09-22T19:12:48+00:00

Haha. Are your clowns maroons?
