Excuse me I was looking for more pics of your new frags but can’t see to find them........
Attica Attica Attica!
Nephew has been over for basically 4 days straight. Busy. Frag pack comes in tomorrow. I broke down out of boredom and wanted to shop local. @cultivatedreef is out of maine, and about 15 pieces I have had were through them. Live sale a few years back. Decided to check them out and they have some sweet frags packs for cheap. Love the site too. Due tomorrow via UPS.

Plan is to make a zoa rock, as I have for a while. Hopefully it grows out quickly and I can get a nice deposit on it.

Hehe

Wowie zowie. Looking sweet. I like this look better than the frag jungle ;)
Thanks sir. But changes were made already... Been up since 8 prepping for delivery.

Been Following this hot wheels truck icon for the last hour.

While ive been waiting, I began prep for arrival on the right side of the tank with a fresh rescape.

Gonna be a fun putting together the zoa rock. I managed to make a really cool feature and create more surface area under the hydra.

We shall see how things look once everything is settled and open to determine final resting places. I feel weird doing all this, cause I know it's all getting sold... but I'm gonna share a mental #honestyinreefing moment with ya'll. My mind and soul are already out west. The anxiety and downright boredom of not working during this shutdown has made me depressed to be blunt. Im hoping between becoming active here on the forums as reefsquad and having the tank beautiful between now and when it sells, I will keep my mind at some ease.

Will share more pics later after this man in brown arrives with the goods. Have a great day everyone. Cheers.

Zoas:

Thanks again and a big shout out to @Cultivated Reef for the second order I have placed with them. Sps are chunky and some of the zoas came already open when I got them less than an hour ago.

Highly recommended. Super personable and quick reponse times. Cheers.
