I don't want to sleep, you guys are too much fun!

What kind of torch is that yellowish one? 2nd from the right I believe

21 tails . Got in Riptide live sale in April.

 

[am3gross]

Yours looks similar to the Banana Torch that I have, the quick search online it kinda resembles a Hellfire. Either way, I really like the yellow in yours! Nice tank also!

 

[steveschuerger]

Hellfires are beauts but crazy expensive. Would love a Tiger torch but not in my budget right now. in any case I have two separate shipments of coral coming. One this Thursday and the other next Thursday that should be close to finishing my tank in terms of residents for now.

You are never finished!!! LOL!! There will always be room for just one more!

I got a single head of the Hellfire in March, now it is about to split into 3 heads. Was super excited when I seen the separation.

My torches haven’t split(I think) but the large green frogspawn has grown at least one more head since I got it earlier this year. Was able to get a peach frog at a good price on live sale that’ll be coming next week.

Thats awesome, If I remember after I wake up, I will take some picks of what I got. I have the Pink frog, green frog, 2 normal hammers, a Banana Torch, Hellfire torch, and a dragons soul. That is the extent of my garden. Everything else is either Zoas or SPS.

 

[steveschuerger]

Nice collection of Euphyllia. The only zoas I have are two from a mystery mix pack I got. The only sps I can keep alive are montis and the various “pora” types . I’ve tried acros and I end up murdering them. I am getting a couple more acros , I think I’m finally ready to try again. Coming Thursday —spent a grand total of $14 for those three.

 

[am3gross]

Yeah, SPS is definitely a learning curve for sure. I just recently started having luck with it and got on the right track. Still have some bumps and bruises but so far everything is looking promising.

Those are some super sweet scores!

 

[am3gross]

I will say for me, I have had the best luck with the pieces that have actually encrusted the plug. if I get a frag that was just recently glued down it seems like they are a 50/50 on the success rate.

Got them from SBB, they sell via live sale here on R2R. If you’re in the market for more, they have really good deals when they have them. Their next one is October 5. Even if I don’t buy I’m probably hanging around for a bit

 

[i cant think]

Only one at the moment. A corccea. I have had it for several years. They are a bit intimidating.

I’ll help to enable you

My Tridacna deresa, currently in my 3’x16”x1’ tank. I’d love a crocea or Squamosa though. And I’m aware there’s a “small” size difference haha.

The Mango Tango looks beautiful, I’ve only recently began to actually grow acros outside of some of the beginner species.

I have a tiger that I got from SBB that I haven't gotten yet, haha
I ordered it like a month or two ago now, and it's just there, growing... I should maybe go pick it up, and the other corals I have there waiting for me that I probably forgot all about hahaha

Think of it like this. Cause it’s sitting there growing, it’ll be even more beautiful when you do get it.

Definitely pick it up!! Also, photos are a must when you get it

 

[i cant think]

I picked these two up today and under my lighting I’m extremely happy. Also picked up a few phone filters that helped me to get such good photos.

This thread was started in 2021. Is everyone still awake?

 

[steveschuerger]

SBB does grow good coral . This is the torch I got from the early August sale

@sbbyoy still have my stuff, right? Haha
Since you're taking photos this week anyway, could I get an updated photo of my tiger that's waiting for me??
