You're based in the US right? That's will cost a fortune in shipping won't it?

Anyhow, the scape looks awesome, can't wait to see it when it arrives :star-struck: what tank is it going in?

I'm in northern California, and yea, shipping it is definitely a premium. I'll be putting it in a fiji cube 81 gal, so the way he made it fits it nicely. Build thread to come so stay tuned!

waou you waiting since 4 months already, I would not have the patience for that
I see it as paying for art. He's good at what he does so I wouldn't want to rush to get something sub par. Hes been a great guy to deal with and I don't mind waiting as long as it's quality

That’s incredible. My imagination is going crazy. The coral placement opportunities. The open bottom for water flow and swimming. Super cool

I said the same thing when I saw his work. Tabling across lining the edge, bottlebrushes I'm the front top and some staghorns along the back. While it limits the number of pieces I can get, I guess I save $$ on not having to fill up the whole tank right? Haha

This is my bonsai reef structure I had made for my nano :)

Of course the only pics I have quickly available both have major laziness on my glass cleaning buuuutt you get the idea of how the structure looks. I’m not done filling it in yet, my 75 has been more of a focus lately for me

**Update

Although the pics were provided of the finished piece on 12/18/23, a tracking number for the package was not provided until 1/4/24.

I've been checking the tracking number daily and if shows that the label has been created, but not in the system one month from being created.

You're the 4th person I've heard is awaiting updates.

I'm currently being ghosted and have yet to hear from him for a week now.

How did you even order? There’s no website

Also the structure you posted is very similar to one on instagram that they posted previously. Are you sure this was actually made for you and not something they made, and sold, to someone else in the past?

The transaction has all been through Instagram dms and bank transfer.

I thought he might be using a recycled pic, but when going through his whole page, didn't find one exactly like it.

For those who did place an order...how are you communicating?
