Thinking of pulling the trigger first time buying from you, what you guys recommend? Lol
My humble suggestion is to go with something that has been around for a while and has a good track record of survival. I think you will find several good options that meet this criteria.

Would love to see some pics. We love it when Hobbyist grow out our corals it is very satisfying and the biggest compliment we can receive! :)
My SBB corals are doing great in my tank. Here's few:
SBB Tropical Train Wreck "Colored Down" when i bought it. It's coloring up just nice.

My clip on camera phone isnt doing my SBB Rainbow Rare any justice but this more about the speed at which it is growing/crusting. (I remove all frags from plugs and reglue to my own brand new plugs)

Even the BKCHEM Crack Juice I got from SBB is crusting nicely.

Hey Tony - How long have you had the Rainbow Rare? I got one in from Shane last week but it Rtn'd the next day...just chalked it up as a loss since he threw in a really nice freebie. In some cases acro's just do that.

I sincerely appreciate that Shane. Not sure what happened with it. The others you sent are doing wonderful. Thought that it might be due to the personality of the coral, or the tank. Polyps stayed mostly hidden from the time it went into the tank. I've found when they act like that in a system its usually due to some random condition they don't like in that particular tank.

For Comparison here is another redish/ Pink one.. this one is super Rich Deep red color and slightly Different from the Oohlala which is more Neon Pinkish less red

Here is the SBB " Pinky and the Brain" you can see the different coloretation. Do you see the difference?

Really beautiful coral man. After a 5 year hiatus from the hobby due to accident and injures. I’m finally able to care for a tank again and you have truly inspired and educated me. I have a little 40 cube percolating for the last month. Hopefully in the next 3 to 4 months if the tank is ready I can make a purchase from you. i can’t deny the results your having and I will be adopting your method but it’s certainly different than what we used to do 30 years ago. My first reef tank had an under gravel filter lol. Then 20 years ago it was the quest for ULN, now this. Very cool you gotta love this hobby.

Just took to the plunge and bought my first SBB corals during the sale they put up last week. Excited to see first hand, although I didn't splurge per se. Look forward to seeing the baby "Nuclear Sunset" mushroom in person. Also, look forward to growing out the "SBB NO name Grab bag". I cannot wait until the "SBB NO name Grab bag" becomes the new Walt Disney in a couple years! ;)

Just spent the last 30mins reading through 33 pages of awesomeness. You’ve come such a long way and I’ve learned so much about acros. Keep the fire coming, I hope one day I could grow coral as awesome as yours @SBB Corals

Super bright! What would you say is the brightest colony in your tank when viewing the colony from the side / through the front panel of the tank?
That is a great question!

the Pinky and the Brain is deff the insane brightest rich color in Blue and daylight. The color is super rich and bright

Here is a picture through the front glass.. do you see the colony how it pops amongst the rest?
