Sierra_Bravo's "What did I get myself into??" 120g in-wall build thread

[Sierra_Bravo]

Next time have them send it to me Scott. I won't ignore them like that. I'll make them feel welcome in their new home! [emoji12]

What goodies did you get?

I'm sure all wayward, lonely, and helpless little frags would find comfort and warmth at Ty's Frag Orphanage and Foster Care Center.


I posted them a few entries up. Wolverine, Pearlberry and Red Diablo are the ones I'm most excited to have.

Clockwise from upper left:

Hawkins Echinata
WWC Yellow Tip
RR Wolverine
ORA Pearlberry

Dipped and in the tank. I changed the frag plugs because you just do, but they were as clean as it gets - nothing came off in the dip. Very healthy, great color, and nice sizes. The only thing I'd say is I wish they had been labeled in some way but it wasn't hard to figure it out. My first purchase with Todd @CherryCorals ; great job!

Nice selection in sps my friend. I've heard nothing but great things about cherry corals. Curious how the wolverine and pearlberry will look in a few months

Me too. I have higher hopes for the Pearlberry than the Wolverine in my tank, to be honest, but the Wolverine was at a ridiculously low price during that live sale and I got lucky snagging it.

P.S. - I haven't forgot about that beer I offered to have with you. Travel for work and my daughter's volleyball has been kicking my rear end. If you think reefing is expensive - try club volleyball!

Mystery wrasse and chromis shoaling.

A friend of mine had a daughter in club softball, I can imagine the work that is involved. No rush on the kickback my friend. We can chill when your are free, no worries

Corallite growth from my little frag of ASD Rainbow Millie from FarmerTy. Finally moving!

You have a really nice tank. It's always good to see other people from San Antonio.

Yes, I have already RSVP for it. I'm really looking forward to it. I was worried I missed it.

Did you borrow the PAR meter from MAST?

Did you borrow the PAR meter from MAST?

When I checked my lights? The first two times, yes, then I bought one for myself. Just get in touch with Alton on Maast via the PAR meter thread or PM; he manages loaning it out. He likes to make you meet him at some ungodley early morning hour, probably to have you suffer with him since he has to work that schedule himself. . . @alton

Thanks

I'll be there too! Not selling this year but as a participant! I'm looking forward to it!

your build is absolutely amazing. Loved your tank set up, the front shelf, the plumbing - everything was very well planned and executed.
Great job sir!

Thanks very much - I appreciate that!

Top is Fraghouse Red Rage, which to me looks a lot like a Red Planet, which is the second picture, but just not as bright. The Red Rage took on quite a bit of green where I placed it. I'm not sure if it will table or not.

Well encrusted BC Grape Juice, which has been the best and fastest growing frag that I received from @Battlecorals . Four month growth from a two week-old fresh cut.
