Hi there reefer friends of R2R.
It's been a while that we have seen a auction for a good cause from the Diesel but here is one coming at ya :D
Most of you guys have seen my threads for what happened in Houston and other cities over the last 7 days.
I still can't believe for what happen, but with the many fundraisers out there I wanted to stand out and not because I don't care about the none reefer hobbyist as I have done my fair share and donated tons of hours trucking ppl back and forward and I dropped a good amount of $$$ the JJ Watt fundraiser, pretty sure many of you guys donated already to the cause.
This one is different, I wanted to stand out and make a difference to help the hobbyist who lost their tank or livestock or and damage done to their system due to this unprecedented storm.
Not only in Houston but where ever the storm hit from Corpus to where he is now.
Here are the links locally and on R2R.

Great idea putting this together Ben. I'm next door to my Houston Folks in Austin but as a community, if it affects one of us, it affects all of us. Ben asked if I would be willing to donate and I happily jumped on board.

I will be fragging the corals this weekend and will update with a picture of them. In the meantime, here are some pictures of the mother colonies so you have an idea what they look like.

You heard the man.................... happy bidding.
Thanks again my friend.

Why is it called a yellow acro if the acro is green? Lol where can I get one?!?

Its an old classic from central Texas... Back to the day of old school MHs with 10k bulbs. It was a nice yellow in those conditions but looks more lime green under T5s and LEDs.

If you don't mind it's a one time deal for now and you can get it if you go for the whole pack, c'mon you want it ;)
 
Well I want it but my dad says no!
 
I'm not allowed to get anymore corals until I have all the ones I have in there forever spots and when I have my doser online!
 
The sun is out again and homes are starting to dry up.
Let's give this pack a BUMP.
The bidder that reached to $400 mark will get a limited R2R T-shirt personal signed by Diesel himself.
Last year these shirt went as hot cakes for the Toys for Kids fundraiser.
 
Less than a day left.
This pack sold for a lot more than it's on right now and free shipping, can't beat that deal.
Remember the autographed R2R Diesel T-shirt is included if it reaches $400.
 
Sunday Prayer bump!!

I must say last month Ty had some acros for sale locally and ppl jumped on it fast as they know his corals are awesome, tank grown to perfection.
We all know a pack like this runs far more in price.
These are not just corals, just try to find a pearlberry or the rainbow milli from ASD, not to mention the Foxflame.
Just a few hours left, and don't forget who we are doing it for.

If pack is out of your range make a small donation to the gofund
 
If I hadn't just bought a bunch of corals, I'd go for this. My little 17g tank is now littered with frags all over the place.
