Are you a long-haul pilot? Just curious, with the one week gone, three weeks home. Also, this thing is just incredible!

I guessed offshore oil platform. Lots of guys in Houston do that sort of thing.

Pagoda cup coral ( it was one of my first corals I bought when I started the hobby 15 years ago. So I had to get one again)

Yes I did to pick up a CUC. May have thrown your name out there

Humblefish is selling QT’d fish now too, FYI. Can’t get any safer than buying from Dr. Fish himself

I lack the money, patience, and ability to make something like this.

I can occasionally hammer a nail in straight though.

Added some more frags today from Coral Collectors. My 7 year old daughter Kara is such a big help.
