Reef Squad Needs Your Help – Coral Pack #1

[Diesel]

“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever” by Jacques Cousteau

The Reef Squad is here for the members to assist in all things aquaria. It’s now time to give the members an opportunity to help out the Reef Squad and pick up something nice for your efforts!

Steve has been assisting members in any way he can for the last 5 ½ years. It’s now time to turn the tables a little! See the full story HERE or go to the GoFundMe account at: https://www.gofundme.com/2l9g0n8

Our first auction thread contains the following delicious collection of min-colonies from the world-renowned Diesel tank as follows:

1. Mini Colony of RR Rainbow Blossom
2. Mini Colony of ORA Pearlberry
3. Mini Colony of Tyree Space Invader

These are mother colonies pictures below, I'll frag and post the Mini colonies Saturday as I leave early in the morning to Dallas for two days. Here are the rules in the not-so-fine-print:

· Bid increments of $10 minimum please
· We will take the bids in the order posted
· Auction will end on Sunday 8/28/2016 at 8:00 pm CST
· The highest bidder at the end of the auction wins the pack
· Yes, shipping is included, but limited to the US.
· Winner will make payment directly to the GoFundMe account – link above.
· Once donation is verified, shipping will be arranged with winner
· 100% of the funds will go directly to Steve and his family
· It really is as simple as that!

Bid early, bid often and bid high. We thank you in advance for your prayers and donations.

RR USA Rainbow Blossom, we all know the value of a frag.
Now you got a chance to get a mini colony.

ORA Pearlberry

Tyree Space Invader, old pic but the colony is almost a volleyball size.
You can see the Green Bright coral on the sand left.

What lighting are you using Ben? I am curious about the acclimation to my lighting.
This might be good info for people to know to keep these beautiful corals happy.
$360 (can I pay on the first when I get paid?)

I know Ben is traveling the next couple of days. I'm nearly positive he uses an ATI Powermodule.

Todd, it's all T5.
I can fill you in on the bulbs combo I'm using but they all Giesemann bulbs.

Tony told me that just the mini colony from the Rainbow blossom is valued at $1500+
If you win it that's a heck of a deal.
Will be back in Houston tomorrow to post some pics of that.

Steve, this all for you my friend, the value that the reef community get from this is so much more than any value a coral can have.
