Long-Time Reefers — What Still Gets You Excited? 🧠🔥🐠

To all the seasoned hobbyists out there—

You’ve seen trends come and go. You’ve grown colonies, tackled pests, chased that perfect spectrum, and maybe even fragged more than you can count. But even after all these years… there’s still something that sparks your curiosity, right?

We want to hear from you—the reefers who’ve been in this for the long haul:

👉 What fish or coral STILL gets you excited?
👉 What have you been chasing for years but haven’t added to your tank yet?
👉 What piece would instantly reignite that “first time reefing” feeling?

Whether it’s a rare deepwater wrasse, a no-name bounce that blew your mind, or just a coral you saw once in someone else’s tank and never forgot—we want to know what’s keeping the passion alive.

Let’s shine a light on the next big additions to your reef.

Drop your wish list below — stories, photos, and holy grails welcome 👇

My display tank has been full for a while. So maybe an upgrade someday?
 
Grafted acros. “Spliced” if you will. Every frag is unique

We definitely love our grafted pieces here!! Kevin is constantly looking for new pieces that have the possibility of grafting.

We also love other grafted pieces that aren't acros like the Raja in Pajamas

How big is your tank right now?
It’s a standard 75 gallon. I am considering upgrading it in a couple years to a 100 gallon or so. I have to keep the 4’ long footprint.
