Bubba's SPS Journey

[Daniel]

WOW! That Carolina Reaper is a stunner! Looks great even as a frag... can't wait to see growth pics

This one isn’t too much of a looker as a frag but the colony I found to be incredible. The polyps get this bright yellow towards the bottom and when they move around with the flow it looked incredible.

Their mother colony pic to give you an idea of what I meant about the polyps.

I got a piece of this from TSA a few weeks back. I love it. It's also a fast grower!

Hello Paul, how are things going? Has the new tank settled in yet? Hope all is well.

Whoops, must have been talking to his reef girlfriend and forgot he'd started talking to you again Bubba :p

As this one is growing larger I am liking it more and more. It has this nice copper sheen to the body and the polyps have this yellow that contrast nice against the body. Throw in the purple growth tips and I think it's gonna be a stunner.

I must give credit to a local reefer for having one of the nicest Walt Disney's I have seen. This is one I picked up from him.

Wow. With all the new Tenuis out there it's still hard to beat a good Walt Disney. Anything about his set up or something he was doing that was different?

Nice looking cherry bomb and Walt Disney.

He did things differently than I do. He said he barely feeds but doses a capful of phosphate once a week. He runs radions with diffusers and had his corals only a few inches under the water to give them as much par as possible. He said his corals get around 550 par under the Radions.

I grabbed a few corals from Top Shelf Aquatics yesterday. I will share the pics over the week.

I already have a Cherry Bomb but theirs looked so nice I figured I would grab another.

Looks really nice! I thought about grabbing one but the Krazy Krayola ended up taking my money haha.

I recently picked up a frag of the Twisted Sister from TSA. Looking forward to seeing it grow out and hopefully looking like yours. That is stunning!

 

[Dvanlier05]

You take amazing photos and have some great corals. I think i would go broke living close to TSA. They are my favorite vendor.

Hey bubba I was wondering if you had some recommendations on some pieces worth picking up from TSA. I got some gift cards for christmas and I am itching for some stunning pieces. I am thinking for sure the CB Maleficent but haven't really got to much further.

That’s tough as everyone likes different stuff and has different budgets.

If budget doesn’t matter I’d get something like RRUSA angry birds, Biodiesel or rainbow fusion.

If on a tighter budget I’d get pearlberry, pink lemonade, fruity pebbles.

I would say i have a moderate budget. Like 3-400ish.

Somehow I missed all your updates of new rebuild . Awesome to see you back !

Even if you have the biggest budget , if there’s one acro you have to have is a true Pearlberry . Nothing quite like it ;)

To change it up a little I decided to practice taking fish pics.
