Red_Beard's 75 Tank Build

He's on Instagram, right?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure yet. I need easy. I really liked the Pink Cadillac before it died but I really haven't had time to window shop his site. He's on Instagram, right?

I'm going up in a couple weeks once I get the algae scrubber tuned in and hope to get a creamsickle and maybe a honeymellon. Those are nice and a bit easier according to him. Best just to ask him directly.

I'm thinking I might do the SPS Classics Stick Hunter pack and ask for Honeymelon, Palmer's Blue, Blue Thunder, and let him pick the rest... But I need to find room for 10 sticks.

I think that sounds like a solid plan, i would, with all that blue/green, also ask for some bright yellows or oranges. It will make all the others pop even more

If the Birdsnest goes away, that's the bulk of the blue/green.

I am living in rack land myself right now. (Not as much fun as it sounds). I tried to get the more natural looking ones from aquarocks. I have several of their products and do like them, but this rack I got for my acros isn't the best. One of the holes wasn't drilled correctly so a frag plug wont go in it. I had to glue the snipers blue next to the hole like a noob.

It also has this weird split level thing going on so one of the frags has a gangster lean.

Trouble in rack land I myself have been trying to get this rack out of my tank for months now and each time I’m close something comes up. Like currently I’m in double trouble: 1. I have a battlebox and contest frags coming next week. 2. I cut a bunch of corals and my frag rank is t quite ready for Acropora yet

Maybe one day the frag rack can be removed. Also some weird algae is growing on my rack currently. I don’t like it, it needs to go.

Adam has been emailing me since I placed the order. The original link to the contest frags came as a direct message here.

Honeymelon, palmers blue and blue thunder are all in the blue/green family. Just saying, with your current asks, some orange and yellow would really make those pop. Clearing up that birdsnest will really open up some prime real estate though for sure!

They have some great options. This one was the only problem I ever had with one of their products.

Dang, this one i think might be perfect! Stick it on the back between the islands. Only problem, or maybe feature? is that my center brace shades that spot a bit. Might be good to get new stuff acclimated on though.

I signed up for the honeymelon growout on the Socali forum, but not enough entries for that one--apparently I scare people.

I was also looking at the ATL Joleen and TSA Carolina Reaper.

When are your frags coming in? Mine are supposed to get to me next Thursday. I’m chomping at the bit over here lol
I mean I’m sure they’re growing just fine in Adam’s competent hands! But still I’m anxious to get them in.

That Carolina Reaper is a very good pick, gorgeous piece. I haven't seen much of Joleen but from what i have, it looks like the flesh might go solid red on you if you cook it, or stay green depending how much light it gets. A lot of the red/green tables are like that. Those bright red polyps look really neat though!

Mine are coming Tuesday!!! That means i got 2 full days to be all "oooh look at these fancy corals" to stoke some envy ;) I did end up ordering that frag rack from aqua rocks too, hopefully i have somewhere to put them all...

hello sir ! thank you for your purchase of our 8 holed shelf ! I see your comments about the rock and holes. Im 100 percent sure you are displaying it upside down ! the holes are handdrilled at the correct placement with slight angles and if displayed upside down you will not be able to place the plugs correctly ! Happy reefing everyone !

Hahaha that is certainly possible

If that thing is upside-down I will laugh my rear end off and display the pictures here.

To your credit, 7 of 8 work great upside-down. I hope it fishes the gangster lean. Stay tuned everyone.
