So I have discovered the joys and excitement and irritation of online coral auctions the past few weeks. 12 hours later after buying five or $600 worth of pieces on auction and not getting a single $5 or $10 one to go along with them. I realize that I've have upwards of 20 coral flags coming. And sadly I need a new tank quickly .
In the frenzy that is auction buying, acquired half a dozen pieces of favia along with eight or so mushrooms that are amazing .although I have to say I am quite disappointed in how small some of them are.I guess that's another learning lesson for me. Now I'm confronted with the realization that if I really want to do the things that I want in reef keeping. I'm going to need two more tanks. 125 to 150 gallon or bigger. And at least one more 65 or so. Because I want everything!!! I currently have a 32 bio equipped with Steve's LEDs and a 65. And as I was new to the reefing business neither are set up the way I should have. Hindsight is a wondrous thing.
I think it's almost more fun to just buy large pieces whole colonies instead of little frags. I guess I'm too impatient lol. So more tanks here I come followed by many more auctions I'm sure. Thank you all for showing me so many details of reef keeping in these forums It's quite amazing The amount of knowledge you can get if you pay attention.
Here are some of the pieces I have either won. Or already have in my tanks.
Thanks again everyone. Especially reef to reef for these forums
