Jen’s not being rude she just had a really long day at work. She is a Master Sgt serving in the Air Force and has a year left to retirement.
She’ll be on as soon as she can to thank you Y’all as soon as she can.
Right now she has to concentrate on keeping our country safe….lol
Thank you all for being so welcoming to her.
I’m about to make the coffee and she’ll be waking up soon to go to work but she has a long horrible day tomorrow she said.
Thank you both for your service! My son just signed up recently for another 2 or 3 years.

@VintageReefer your corals are amazing!!! I would like one of each please... lol
Thank you! I am no really a “fragger” but I do sell things at large discount occasionally to make room.

Usually a panic situation when I’m like “what the heck did I do…ups says I have a 40lb box of coral from SBB coming…where am going to put all this!?!?”

I’m a self admitted addict. I buy stuff and figure it out later. If I can’t fit it then I hit up my friends and am like hey you want sick Goni/Cynarina/whatever? Huge discount because I need the space I’m desperate lol!
 
Add Steve is cichlid dad :face-with-hand-over-mouth:
I will inform Luis Steve, this is his his list. He has really been struggling at being the intern for this thread so I try not to be to hard on him unless you want me to. ;)

So what do you want to make my friend had several cnc machines and 3d printers and said he can make anything with them.
Nothing at the moment but I’ll keep you in mind! Thank you !

Yea. Avoid lol. Get some starter coral to work with. I don’t sell unless I feel confident the buyers tank can keep it

I can always offer advice and guidance on coral selection!
