You will hear a grown woman squeal, while jumping up and down, if that's a Duncan!!!

That's a nice Duncan colony.

I took this picture yesterday. I really like the peachy orange color this Alveopora colony turned

I am pretty confident that is!

Definitely is. I love mine. It’s my oldest piece.

 

[steveschuerger]

2 nice pieces I got free. Pectinia was from a fellow reefer, @Thuan , and the candy cane was from a vendor handing these out near the end of the Frag Farmers market I went to.

These are my 2 oldest corals. The Duncan I’ve had since late 2021 and the Goni since the beginning of 2022

Hey that Duncan looks great! Is that a coral that you have to frag often? I have a smaller tank. (40 gallon cube). It may get too big for me to have in there?

It’s never been fragged actually. Started with one polyp and it’s grown slow and steady since then.

Great pics!

Thank you!! I have been practicing a lot! I really want to eventually upgrade to a dslr camera with a nice macro lense.

I agree, so underrated and a total hobbit specimen you would see in the Shire! I have two little ones and I am always cheering them on!

Its a halfling for sure, lol.

I told him I have no interest in profiting on the item but I would like it to be available to benefit the community, and
I am sure others our there would like to have it

He has a Etsy store and 3d printing business and he put the kit in the store for 13$ for the shelf and two tiles.

Replacement / extra tiles were available in single and 5 hole designs for less than 10$

Everything’s color could be customized

Currently he’s replacing his printer and took the store down but it will be available again soon

Oh thank you!!! I must have misunderstood the Etsy part for where they were selling the tanks. I'll check it out! (Oh wait, do you know the store name? Or what the product is called?)

The tank and the shelves are both on etsy but different sellers. Tank is sold by current USA etsy account. Shelf is sold by a 3d printer hobbiest and forum member but his store is closed temporarily while he upgrades printers and takes a much needed break

Crazy orange man!!

 

[Wrassenaround]

Some of my favorites I've taken. The last one I submitted for May POTM so fingers crossed.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you that 1 month ago it was almost dying on the skeleton until I added a powerhead to the bottom of the tank , I didn't know what to do because every side I put it didn't work

You seem very good at saving corals! How much have you saved?

I wish I could save them all but a few months ago I lost a torch and almost a hammer due to a red emerald crab and a green emerald crab.
