Thanks Brett but I'm fortunate I suppose, that's really my only set back since getting back into the hobby after a 20 year hiatus. Nothing compared to the trials and tribulations of the late 80s early 90s

That special little acro you were after has weathered the storm just fine- I have more beauties than I lost and the I'll tell you one Im really looking to add in is the Frag Farmers Snow Cone Prostata, It makes the Snipers Bubble Gum and Jose Rainbow look like a digitata :eek: and green one at that-meaning it makes them look "ho hum" in comparison :)

I had a nice colony of snowcone but lost it a few months back when I had some issues, definitely a piece I'd like to replace.

I got snow cone from Jared a few years back and it's just starting to show its brilliance, I think I moved it around to much. It's definitely a must have IMO

We'll need to talk around the first of the year, I have one person as a back up but wouldn't mind an extra.
Maybe we can swing a trade :)

I afraid this tapatalk app is making me lazy, it allows me to post cell phone pics that really don't do any coral justice, mine or anyone's [emoji19]

Ya time flies for sure....
Thanks for the compliments Ben, and Eric LOOONG time hope all is well....


The old tank had a few areas of concern that I just wasn't sure about somI had Envision build me basically the same tank but this time only 2 openings vs 3 and a few other minor mods. The last few months consisted of a temp tank housing all LPS while I loaded my frag tanks witht the SPS.
I got rid of a few large colonies, the red planet was the largest which was funny using a sawzall to remove it from the rock :)

The new build sports 6 QD40s, and 2 RW18 for flow within the tank and I went with less rock for a much more open view obviously which sacrificed some space for the sticks but most colonies made it back in and a few treasures I had been growing out

I've got a few more things to get dialed in and then maybe sit back and enjoy the tank :)
