Anyone curious about my Red Sea Reefer I won

[4FordFamily]

Hey team,

I never did say or do much with that blessing of a Red Sea reefer I won on here. My tank accidents really put the nail in the coffin. That said, I sold my other tanks but I still have this special tank. I'll do something special with it, I just need to get this move behind me and figure out what to do with it at the new house.

I'm likely going to set it up as a quarantine for coral and inverts so I don't infect my display tang tank that remains. After I'm OK with the coral where I'd like it to be in my only DT, I may turn it in to a tank for my daughter. At 3 she's not very demanding on what she wants in the tanks but I see that changing.

I just wanted you all to know, especially those that made that opportunity possible, I'm very thankful for this opportunity and when money and stress improve again, I'll do something special with it.

It's even more important to me now that I lost two other display tanks worth of fish/coral and killed off my quarantine tank full of fish. A gift before the storm. Thanks everyone. Also thank you all for your continued support and kind words. We are the best online community on earth.

I figure I can sit and feel sorry for myself or I can count my immense blessings. Stuff happens to everyone. I'll recover somehow.

Here is an update, while I shuffle coral and inverts through quarantine to rebuild my 180, it’s becoming very handy!

Here it is full of Monti, some sps that are allegedly easier/hardier, some frog, hammer, mushrooms, etc.

Any sps ID are welcome, other than the red Monti I do know that one!

Yeah, I’m pretty awful. In fairness, nothing neat was in it until this weekend!

Only because Rev isn't eligible to win prizes on here!

Is that a Hydnophora colony? Given to understand that it may be a bad idea to place it within sweeper range of other corals . . .

Looking pretty good!

Love the reefer tanks. I love the contests here. We won an ATI test and the reef nutrition pods. I say move the thread and you have to update every week

Haha that’s my kids toy box. If I wanted a tank in the loft, I had to have a place for their toys and they lazily throw everything in there

Yeah, well we gotta get rid of all the nasties in my DT before it comes home. I'm so impatient, and so tired of algae and bacteria!
