Hey everyone,
Sorry I haven’t been around. Hope everyone is doing well! I have been really busy with baseball (only 3 weeks left) and for some reason I’m not getting alerts on the thread anymore :(. However, my tank has been going crazy! A lot of new corals and things are thriving! I’m getting the hang of this now!


I want to shout out the best coral dealer I have found so far.

Reasonable prices, great shipping, amazing customer service! Don't get me started on the VIP (it's a must) here are all the corals I bought from him ( Reef Racket). Everything is healthy and thriving!


My torch island is amazing and the center piece!
