Not exactly reefing, but I took advantage of this insanely warm weather to clean out the small pond (one of those molded ones like 200-250 gallons) in my back yard. The kids decided it would be fun last October to stick about 10 gallons of white pine needles in it..... I also found out the previous owners thought it would be a good idea to stick about 300 lbs of granite rocks and another 200 of rocks and sand down there. Also added a small waterfall/filter on it. Got it up and running, just need to clean up all those rocks and add some rock/design around the waterfall. Once it warms up a little more I'll move my 1 koi from inside to out. Might get a more colorful one this year if I can find one I like.

Very happy with the quality. Shipping could be improved. No heat pack, frag in a bag. My recent orders from reeftide included a nice styrofoam cooler, heat pack and frags in small plastic cups in labeled bags. Very impressed with their stuff, they are my new go to i think

Good to know, thanks! I'd be driving to pick them up myself, so shipping wouldn't be an issue :)

First two frags in the tank now to figure out where I want to place them. Should I take them off the frag or cut the stand off then glue them where I want them?

Very cool, congrats! It’s personal preference on the frags. Sometimes i find a perfect spot for a plug knowing the coral will overgrow it anyways so no need to remove
