Saw your shot in the POTM contest, really great tank. Where do you like to source your corals? I'm starting to add a number of SPS recently, was wondering what your secret is.

Hey I really enjoyed reading and the pictures of your build. I especially like how you had such a lost and kept going and didn't let that stop you enjoying the hobby.

Few fts to update my build threat. And hopefully once all the chaotic that is happening right now is over, my plan is to create a website to sell some excess frag packs. The intension is to create an affordable market for reefers.

Hi! I am new to the hobby and just came across this build thread. Your tank looks amazing! If I am reading this right, you started the tank at the beginning of 2020, and it looked like this in June? How big were the frags you started with? I thought it took a lot longer than six months to grow acros that look like that!

Where you get them. As in, who's your source.
hi, sorry on late reply, all my corals are either from local reefers or from online shop that sell brown out mariculture and wild pieces. I started out with mostly wild and mariculture pieces about 4 years ago.

Curious: do you have a QT system and/or process?
