Afrokobe's 25 Gallon Cube

[Goaway]

That is very heart breaking to hear. With good news though, I hope the bjd stops. Nothing is worse than losing it all. It happens to us all. We lose a few :(
I guess I found another awesome build to follow. The pictures are well worth it.

Do you remember the name of this chalice?

its been about a week since the last coral had any signs of bjd, so i am hoping its gone as well. This one is fun dip echinata from BSA corals.

Thank you. Beautiful piece.

I do love that glitter bomb. It's on my list for a year.

You would hate to know how much I paid for the mini colony. $175 :eek: It is a good 3-4 inches long and about 2 inches wide. here it is more zoomed out:


If i had a saw, I might be cutting up frags lol

Yup... Pure seething envy... Frags go from 200+.

Big grats!!

I am going to pretend to add a 0 here.

That’s a lot of bling in a 25g, nice tank!

haha, feel free to. It was an absolute steal from one of my local groups here. They had an even bigger colony for $225, but I passed on that. No one else locally seemed to know what they were looking at!

Thank you! I definitely went way too hard like I do with all my hobbies. Lost some corals from my impatience, but its been a good learning process.

also, I've been banned by the gf from buying corals for now lol... I did also just buy a ring to propose, so the new corals will have to wait a while.

 

[Goaway]

Omg...

 

[Goaway]

I live in the wrong city.

 

[Goaway]

Let us know how the proposal goes :)

What lens are you using? Fantastic shots!

I am using a sony a6000 with the stock 16-50mm kit lens

Wow, for a kit lens, those are some really good photos. I'm using their G Series 90mm 2.8 and my photos suck. Obviously there is some user error going on! LOL Better break out my owner's manual. :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

You can send it here and I can do some test pictures for you ;) That lens is on my list to buy! After the big tank upgrade at least, my tank isn't nearly big enough to take advantage.

Your tank looks great! Your coral photography is awesome, they all look so good.

Cleaned up the tank a little for a full tank shot. Moved some coral over to the new tank.


I want to get a good picture of my Gramma and Midas Blenny, but both dont stay very still. Have to settle for the damsel.


Probably my favorite coral in the tank
