It’s been a few years since I posted a sale thread on R2R, but my 300 is all grown out now and I’ve got a lot of awesome SPS to cut frags from. For those who weren’t around when I used to sell frags please take a look at my feedback and buy with confidence:

https://www.reef2reef.com/xentrader/gws3.17954/

Full tank shot of my 300:

Everything is cut to order and pest free. I typically allow at least a week for frags to heal before shipping. I also have a lot of frags already cut and healed, so if this is your preference, shoot me a PM with your wish list and I can tell you what I have that’s ready to go.

I am old school from when 1” frags were the standard. You won’t find any 1/2" nubs here. The only time I’ll cut smaller frags is if the growth pattern prevents a full 1” or if my colony is too small to cut 1” frags. Sizes are marked accordingly below. If I have a large colony that’s growing well I’ll cut frags larger than 1”.

Shipping is a flat rate of $60 for Fedex Priority Overnight. Standard 2 hour DOA policy, although I rarely experience any losses in shipping when delivered on time.


Pink Panther Table 3/4-1” $120 (Another one of my favorites, will turn all pink with reddish polyps in high light. In medium light its polyps will be red and the base develops green.)

Tyree Pinky the Bear 1” $100 (I think this is one of the most underrated acros.)

RMF Candyland $150 1” (Another one of my favorites. Very transformational colors. Starts out orange and green and then the branches turn bright pink as it matures. Pics below are of the same colony as it grew out. Direct RMF Lineage)

Vino Monti $250-500 depending on frag size small to large (Absolutely incredible monti and grows fast. I believe this is the same exact coral as Juicy Fruit Monti. Blows away Beach Bum and Kung Pao IMO. Lineage The Reef Shoppe -> the originator)

You mentioned Homewrecker. Your colors are AMAZING! Any chance you've got a Homewrecker colony of your own you can just show me/us??? I'd love to see it.

I'm awestruck !! Most of them are some very high end stuff.

Can you share some details on your system? Lights? Filtration? Additives? etc...

+1. Very interested in that and your nutrient parameters you mentioned.

Thank you! This is my passion, I spend and incredible amount of time and money on it, so I very much appreciate the positive feedback.

Here is a TOTM article from one of the local clubs, I think it will answer most of your questions for the system the 300 is on:

I do have a homewrecker mini colony. For whatever reason I cannot get that coral to color up to it's full potential, and for that reason I do not post it for sale. I don't want someone to spend that kind of money and get a mostly green frag. I have seen Jason's colonies in person, and the pink and purple fluorescence is insane. Below is a picture of mine from the beginning of the year, it is much larger now.

Currently on that system my Nitrates test at 25-50 ppm and my phosphates are about 0.3 ppm. Perhaps HW needs ULNS for the full fluorescence to develop. I went through a period about 3-5 years ago where I struggled with low nutrients and killed a lot of SPS with GFO. Personally I have much more success keeping nutrients higher.

Thank you. I will do discounts on larger packs. For smaller packs it depends on shipping. Shipping to West Coast by Priority Overnight is painful.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. There are a lot of great private sellers here too. I have bought from and traded with a lot of the reputable ones over the years and almost always great experiences.

Thanks. I'm on the east coast. NC. I'm going to look through your stuff in the next day or so. You have shipped before. Ups or fed ex? Makes a difference where I am. FedEx delivers in an air conditioned truck here. Ups goes with regular delivery. Either way I get it later in the day.

Yes, I have a lot of experience shipping, always with Fedex.
