Krakens should be arriving to your tank soon. This will be the official picture thread for your monthly photos.

Winner gets a $500 gift card!

Quick reminder on the rules:
  1. You must submit an initial entry picture and monthly pictures thereafter. If you need to miss a monthly check-in, let me know in advance so it won't be counted against you. 2 misses and you're out.
  2. The first one to fully encrust the structure will win.
  3. Have fun!

Got it in the shade under a frag rack for a few days to settle in. These look super nice, @Dust Bowl Corals really cool idea, and nice work on coral selection!
@evilexotica dang bro, very nice work on those krakens! What did you weight them with? Or is that a trade secret...

Thanks, is solid PETG... 100% fill
 
Dang, those have some heft! You must have gone through quite a few spools lol
More than a few...lol

Many failed attempts before having no real issues with the print.

I am now the owner of a small graveyard of misfit krakens. 🤣
 
This is going to be a cool one, well done @evilexotica those look very cool. @Dust Bowl Corals hat kind of cyphastrea is that ? I had it in my head you were using meteor shower but that looks different to me.
It’s a rainbow one. Thought about meteor shower but wanted to do something different as meteor shower some people already had
 
Well pretty prophetic. Saying “the package” not arriving til tomorrow. Seriously.
I can guarantee the kraken to be alive 🤣

As for the coral, I’ll have to send another

Thanks I appreciate that. And to think I was feeling pretty good about screwUPS recently.
