My Big Beautiful Budget Breeder Build

[Retro Reefer]

any idea why your photos are so blue?

I run heavy blue spectrum.. my led’s are running 80% blue and 20% white, my t5 bulbs are 3 blue+ and 1 true actinic. I’m also using a iPad for photos which doesn’t work that great however the last photo I posted the colors are pretty accurate to what you see in person.

My new scoly got his first feeding this morning, 5ml of chopped mysis, omega pellets and reef roids.. it engulfed the mixture instantly and even tried to pull the pipette from my hand.. lol

Not sure my clown should be looking at that scoly as a host..

As long as there is food for them, more the merrier I also have a 40 piece CUC coming from reef cleaners this week.. algae is coming on strong and I want to hopefully stay ahead of it though the ugly stages of my new reef.

Love leopards!

We used to have two females named Nina and Simone.

Once was leucosticte(sp?) and the other albino.

Yeah they are fun, This little thing is spoiled to death.. lol. I have had some different ones over the years but she is really special, loves to socialize and is smart as a whip, you would think she is a cat or dog

I have a crested now. Cool to watch but not a real pet like leopards.

Yes all of mine have been basically specimens in a cage for observation, this one will paw at the glass until you take her out, thinks she is missing something.. lol

I am currently trying to decide between a leopard or some sort of chameleon, I have had snakes in the past, I've always wanted a chameleon so now just to find the right one!

Chameleons can get rubbery bone disease and die very easily.

They are a lot of upkeep so I have never had one. Always wanted to, but knew better.

My buddy is a reptile expert/breeder and he kept one for years but complained about the work. LOL.

A guy in work breeds reptiles, I will be getting him to find me one!

Gecko’s are much more personable than chameleons and live much longer (up to 20 years or more) so get a young one and have a friend for life

She’s been watching way to many geico commercials, now she wants to learn to walk on two legs

 

[Retro Reefer]

We have a lot in common, both of us are really lazy.. lol

Thank you so much! I’m very pleased with it so far, as soon as I’m confident no undesirables are hiding in rocks I’ll start mounting corals.. stay tuned lots more to come!
