I ordered 10 frags from Tidal Gardens to pick up. Trying to fill out my 4 month old tank with some “intermediate” level corals, including some montis, cyphastreas, stylophoras, birdsnests, a psammacora, a favia and an easier acro.

Give it plenty of room I keep 2, a space invader and a rainbow. I've seen sweepers over 6" on these guys. Sorry if your already aware :winking-face:
Thank you, I have a place, although low to moderate flow, should orient the sweepers towards the back where there aren’t any corals. I got the idea from watching my raja rampage chalices sweepers. If I have to I’ll keep it fragged to an appropriate size or , worse case scenario upgrade to a 110 gallon. I hope it doesn’t come to that as divorces are very expensive!

If they can sell them cheaper in a week period they could sell them at that price all year round. Give the reefers a break and lower prices all year round that’s a deal
Exactly.. The only thing I buy are things that are map priced like consumables that I will be buying anyway. I'll take the 10-20% for those and stock up. Other than stuff like that and tanks if you're in the market for an upgrade there were some good deals there. Biota did have 15% off yellow tangs. That was decent if you were in the market as they never get discounted. Otherwise nothing else worth spending on.

8 frags from TSA, I have not purchased from too many online vendors but i can say these were the cleanest frags I have ever purchased. I will be signing up for the next live sale without a doubt.

I bought quite a few, and all came in well, despite Temps, but my most expensive piece wasn't there, I'm hoping tsa will fix it

I’d been eying a Space Invader Pectinia for a few months but couldn’t pull the trigger because of the price. Saw this deal at Tidal Gardens and couldn’t not pull the trigger. I’m not getting it until December 7 as I’m working every day, except Sunday, until then.

Since starting with my first reef tank in February, I have been very apprehensive about getting to many coral. I wasnt happy with the first tank, setup was bad, aquascape made sand and glass hard to clean and a nasty ugly phase with dinos. Second tank much better, but not 100% happy. Hopefully third times a charm. Since I am not totally sure on my abilities yet, I have held back and only bought a few corals. But black friday sales got me with top shelf aquatics and tidal gardens. I should have almost all my wish list corals. Now were to put them is the big question.

Bought some two very cheap frogspawn and a hammer from FishofHex which had a 30% off sale (I also bought 3D printed holder for my Hanna checks and a DI Resin Packer).

Also bought some euphillia and favia from
Unique Corals and a few LPS from Black Label Aquatics. If I was in the market for SPS I would have bought a Battlebox but my tank is only 3.5 months old so I am holding off on SPS for a few more months.

I will be picking up some very cheap zoas from a local reefer soon.
