Sale update: The Sale is going to go live tomorrow at 9am EST on both Facebook and in the sps sales forum on R2R.

That being said, I’m going to post the list here first at 8 am to give everyone following my thread an hour head start on the shopping.

Thanks again for all the support and good luck tomorrow!

How is the sale going to work for those of us on the West Coast who sleep late and have lots of disposable income? Is this going to be an auction, or fixed pricing and the first in line gets it?

And for funding the new build - What if someone had just a ton of equipment you might want.... Hmmm....

What time during the day do you dose Acropower? I'm currently dosing it around the time my lights come on, this seems to be what most people suggest.

Here we go!

Fund the Build Sale


I’ve been letting everything grow out for the last few months just for today. I’m going to be selling a set number of frags per colony. Because there are so many frags available, over 100 in all, Ive decided its best to do a cut to order type sale. Here is how its going to work:


How it works: Below is a list of every coral in the sale. Next to the name of the coral is the price per frag. Below the name of the coral is a string of numbers which indicated how many frags I’ll be cutting off that particular coral. I’ll update the post 4x a day to list the buyers name next to the coral they purchased.


Discounts: Free Shipping at $400 and a 10% pack discount for any sales $750 and over.


How to order: PM me with the names of the frags you want and I’ll send you a total price for the pack shipped. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of the order to secure your cut.


Pictures: Colony pictures of everything listed can be found between what’s posted here in my thread. I can only do 20 pics for the post so I’m going to post a few updates pics but a pic of everything being sold can be found in this thread

WYSIWYG pics will also be supplied once the frags are cut.


Frag Size: All frags will be ¾ or larger. Tabling acros will typically short and chunky due to the nature of their growth.


Payment: A 50% non-refundable deposit is be required at the time the order is placed to secure the frags. Final payment is due 48 hours prior to shipping. Friends and Family is preferred.



Shipping: Shipping is $50 flat rate for any order under $400. Standard DOA rules apply.

I've been dosing the acropower throughout the day on a doser. I just try to automate as much as possible.

Hey everyone, Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm not crazy about not being able to edit the post and having to put that huge items sold list in the comments over, and over, and over, and over. So if you made a purchase you will be getting a message from me in the next few days with a picture of your items. If there is anyone looking to still make a purchase please PM me for availability for now. I'm going to do one more sales post in a few weeks once this round ships to clear out the remaining items from the first sale.

Well its been a crazy few weeks. I hit RAP orlando for the first time and it was all that it was hyped up to be. There was a decent selection of sps and lots of vendors showing off their new gadgets. I'm def going to be upgrading to the new Gyre models. They improved the ability to direct flow and reduce algae growth on the impellers.

GHL also has the IonDirector (i think thats the name) coming out soon. They said the official release will be at macna, and its a similar unit to the KHD but will measure Calc and Mag. Speaking of the KHD, it was a godsend while i was gone. I spent 4 days traveling and didn't have to worry about my alk once. Its a pain to set up but def worth the investment.

So I get back Monday night and notice I'm missing some fish. After some searching around for a few i found my blue throat trigger on the carpet. Now fish jump, but triggers usually don't. Plus i had a hippo I've owned for years jump just a few weeks ago. I did some research and found that stray current can cause fish to jump, so I picked up a multimeter to test how much current is in my system. Low and behold I'm sitting at 80 or so AC volts! No wonder my fish were jumping ship. I ran through all my electronics and the culprit was a small heater I had in my 60....I don't know if Im more mad at myself for not catching it sooner or happy its fixed now. Im not sure what impact is has on coral but this might explain why i still had some random losses here and there despite most stuff looking better than ever. At minimum it was a stressor to the environment. Lesson learned, get a grounding probe kids....and test for stray current

Anyway, the build is coming along. Floors got finished this week.

Next step is finalizing the stand design and to get that built while I wait for the tanks. I decided to scrap my Geo sump and just have TankMe USA build a sump along with the stand. I'm hoping to have them in house in 8-10 weeks.
