Welcome! If you don’t have anything going on this Saturday you should come check out our annual Expo and meet some of the club members.

I will try and get there as this could be a fun time. I have only about an hour or so drive.

Back in the day we had to feed them about 2-3 times a day with phyto, as they are one of the best looking coral in the ocean.

I am still getting the parts needed cause I am being really picky. The tank should be here Wednesday from The Coral Reef. Trying to figure out how to build a stand

Let me know.if you need corals. Frags or colonies. I have both and I'm getting ready to exit the hobby for awhile I do believe I have to move and I don't really want to have to drag everything through another move. I'm sad because I have been going for a decade strong but sometimes you gotta leave for awhile

Manose · Oct 3, 2018

That is so sad to hear

I have just about got everything for the tank ready to go. The tank should be here tomorrow then I will start on the stand.
So it will be quite awhile before I can house corals.
