Desmond's 275 cube

[jsker]

it is amazing the size of the corals that you can purchase over there. He we get little bits and pieces and some live and some die. Then there is the wait for the corals to grow to the size you have now, that takes about two years.

These were my corals already just kept in a friend's tank after tear down. But yes we can be big colonies here but you pay for them.

I am kind of leaning towards spending more for established colonies lately

A nice hammer over here goes for about 100 to 150 dollars. My friend owns marine atore so i get 25% discount minimum. There is a really nice torch colony with about 12 heads 12 inches by 12 inches he has at the minute. Just try to figure out if i have space lol. I have near 40 frags of zoa coming in feburary.

@jsker managed to get this one picked up today.

The mrs picked out a little 1 inch dory. Excuse for an upgrade in time [emoji23] she was devasted when i got rid of the other one.

Purchased a duncan yesterday for $45, drilled the rock and attached it. If you look real close in the upper right of the duncan one can see two legs of my sally light foot crab. She just molted again
