Thanks bud! It looks better than the one in the display. But it’s also getting more par.

FarmerTy Eternal Flame

are these to remind me how sh!tty of an acro keeper I am? cuz I have both of those FROM YOU, and they're nowhere near looking as nice.
My BM is getting there tho, need a little bit more orange down the branch/stem. The eternal flame is eternally struggling to put on vertical growth - i resorted to cutting it in half last week to see if that will induce the base to put out new fresh growth.

Hello all,

Longtime cruiser of the club, first-time build thread poster.

I'm not going to bore you with details of when my passion for the hobby began and my first fish tank... yada yada yada.

I know what everyone came for... pics and videos! Please be patient with me as I figure out how to post videos and pics on this forum. I got it down pat on my local forum so forgive the missteps while navigating the learning curve.

Shot these last night, enjoy!

Hello. I’m very interested in your tank. How much would you like for it?

My display BM is not nearly as nice as this one. I think it mainly comes down to par on this piece. More par, more of that beautiful orange.

The Eternal Flame bares my name… better look good in my tank. Haha.

First and foremost thank you for answering. Before I ask for price can you take some pictures of the filtration and the sump that you have? Thx. My price depends on what your filtration sump.

Man...the "grafting" on the Riddler is really unique and cool. Looks like someone went around the coral and air brushed or spray painted some colors in there.

doesn't do me any good when it doesn't look good in my tank now, does it?

Hey Ty, which do you think is better? Z's cotton candy or Mattv psycho asylum? I think it need some recent pics!

I sadly lost the Psycho Asylum with my sump upgrade in the Fall and the Z’s Cotton Candy lost color with the transition to the display system. So no current pics right now but Z’s Cotton Candy was a real eyegrabber at its peak.

Yeah, it only started to graft the last year I’ve had it. Even the frags carry some interesting grafting.

A couple questions that you may have answered at some point in the past 400 pages.

Do you feed anything for your corals and if so how often and time of day? Just something I've been thinking about for my own system, and interested to hear your practice.

Also, what lens are you using for your photos? Beautiful sharp images.

Thanks!
