Caleb's first reef tank

[Impunitus]

I hit up Pet World in Greece as it seems like they have ordered ESHOPPS before. If they can get what I need in a somewhat timely manner I'll save myself the trip to Buffalo/Syracuse.

A bit of a pain to do an hour and a half one way with a 2 month old, otherwise I'd be all over it. If either Low Tide or ARC could just get the tank shipped to me, that would be preferable too. As it stands Pet World needs to take delivery, and then will drop it off at my house. Knowing I have to build the stand, I'm not keen on having the tank unboxed/off a pallet outside of my house which just getting it shipped to me would allow me some flexibility on.

Also dropping this giveaway thread...would be a nice pump to have!

I think my 70 was drop shipped to me via a Pet World in Cali.

Same name but I think this is a family owned/operated store. They have some salt stuff but I don't think I would ever buy lifestock here. Coral would have to go into a dedicated quarantine system for a month before I felt comfortable putting it into our tanks. They're a nice group of people but their salt tanks are ridden with sick/beat up fish and other pests

POTO delivery got here! Waiting on the suction cups I ordered for the frag they they so kindly printed and sent my way as well. Had to do some reorganizing of existing frags, but have the SPS higher up so it gets good light.

Once I have the suction cups I can put all my SPS higher up and leave the more flowy stuff down lower.

I'm hesitant to glue/epoxy stuff to the rock given I may be tearing down, and don't want to try and rip this stuff off in a few months, so racks are getting very full.

Left to right on the new sticks. Not the best pictures, I'll work on getting better :)

Already getting PE on 3 of the 4, Red Panda is being difficult. I'm not one for names, but putting the names here so I don't forget them, and in the event I'm successful at growing them I can properly name them if I ever end up fragging them.

POTO Side Chick

POTO Boomerang

POTO Ultimate Shortcake

POTO Red Panda

POTO Holy Grail Branching Hammer

TSA Holy Grail Hammer w/ POTO HG Hammer in background. I like both!

Grafted Monti is doing well, looks like its starting to grow a bit of pink in the top now

Bali Slimer is starting to color up in the tips and is getting great PE. Would like to find the 'fuzzy' version of the slimer as I think this is an OG based on my googling.

Duncan is getting a new head! Can sorta see it under the right most head in this picture

Thanks again @Pieces of the Ocean !!! Once I get the suction cups I ordered I'll be getting the sticks and other SPS I have on their own higher up in the tank. Can't wait to watch these things grow.
