Why not make life easier?

Shout out to @Supreme Reefs @A Reef Creation and @The Coral Dudes ! Supplying my first few frags for my new setup.

Pretty excited about the livestock once I can take a pic I'll update.

Nice little frag starter pack.
These pics are 10min after lights came on this morning so they are still opening up.

Blow innovate marine rack I got 50% of at arc pretty sweet deal. Nice Japanese toadstool from supreme reef and really fat polyps of UC from arc. Duncans and a blasto from the coral dudes.

Don't know the vender of this shroom/Yuma.

The coral dudes torch.

This is pretty much for me to judge how my tank is doing and figure lighting/flow.

Cool man. I'm jealous. I love utter chaos. by far my fav

How are things going?

 

[smiley28]

Need to make an update but I've been being very lazy I'm working on it and keeping up with tank maintenance but here are some pics from the last week or so after lab or later tonight I'll give a bit more info with frags I'm particularly excited about

Also put an example of how blue the lights are early in the morning and then the rest of the pics will be pretty white with a bit of blue to show true colors and so my phone can take a clear pic without a filter

Love the scarface polys.

Love the scarface polys.

Thanks Mark! Randy at ARC gave me a deal on those 3 polyps. Also here is my attempt at a few other recently picked up pieces.

Also!! These pics are with white all the way up! I don't take pics for a living so cell phone pics it is..

This is a CB rainbow infusion from SCC (Shipwreck Cove Corals)

Can't remember what Randy called these but I'll def ask

Pink rhino/chuckies bride from ARC

These things have serious potential Randy at ARC has a display colony where the polyps are massive I was surprised to find out they were the same polyp just diff lighting made one grow a bit differently

Another polyp from SCC this is CB fangbanger which I missed during the livesale and still they hooked me up with a deal

CB spacemonster from SCC during the livesale

Edit:excuse the dirty glass please I don't move the rack ever for cleaning atleast I haven't yet

Not zoa/paly but a piece I love from Shane at Coral Savers this particular torch looks very similar to my first coral purchase ever you can't tell but it has slight highlights of gold

 

[Marktheshark83]

Very nice dude. When you have some frags definitely let me know. I wanna buy some. I don't think I have have z's and p's you don't have lol.

I'm definitely going to order some soon.

 

[smiley28]

Also yeah those are scarface polyps I couldn't tell when I first saw them I thought they were like queen kraks or something cause they looked a little pinker


And here you see the pink coralline has taken off and I'd like to mention the pod population is doing well I'm just waiting a few more months to really let everything mature before I get a Dragonette

 

[Marktheshark83]

Very cool. I have a huge pod population. I got a mandarin a few weeks ago. He's been on happy fat lil guy

Looks great! I'm eventually going to do a 75 gallon without a skimmer, just a lighted fuge with chaeto, GFO and Carbon, and maybe some marinepure. What fish do you have right now?

So far 2 maroon clowns 3 lyretail anthias and a powder brown tang and think I'll top it off in 2-3mo with a green or red Dragonette not sure yet leaning towards green

So I'm happy with this selection of fish and I hand feed them daily which I enjoy for 2 reasons 1 I know they are eating and the powder brown I think has benefited from it the most as far as health goes and 2 the fact that most of the food is gone before it leaves my hand leaving enough for the clowns and a pretty clean tank that can be fed multiple time a day and I can dirty it up with reefroids or something

Also

Scarface in new spot look happy


Vivids pink cap from @WWC
