Aw thanks @richiev! I'm about to get my hands on the club's bandsaw so expect some Dragon Soul torch frags soon :cool:

Lid is on and the tank is cluttered with frag racks so it's not in the best state for photos, but figured I'd snap quick pic of the tank with my iPhone today: FarmerTy Eternal Flame starting to take off :cool:

When I first got it, it was more-so white/green with hints of red. But when it grew out, it turned pure red. My frags still turn white/green after I cut them and they encrust, but the bigger the frags get, the more and more red they become.

That's the good 'ole fashioned ORA Red Planet.

I'm not exactly sure what is the cause of it, but the tank has been steadily improving for the past month or two in terms of coloration & growth rate. I changed salts from Tropic Marin Pro to Red Sea Blue Bucket and I've been doing large, 20% weekly water changes so I imagine one of those two...

@phatduckk How's the tank doing? I'm considering an upgrade to the Reefer-S 850 and I'm curious what your thoughts are with it after having it up and running for close to a year now?

Haha I need to start more DBTCs but it might be a while before I do the Dragon Soul :p

I was doing a water change today and snapped a top down photo of the maxima for you :) The TSA Bill Murray is really getting big too! :cool: I added a New York Knicks torch to go alongside my Dragon Soul torch colony that's growing really well but still isn't ready to be fragged (tissue...

Thanks! My two year old daughter loves to look at the tank so here's to hoping my son does as well. Definitely. There are a few reefers here in North Marin (shout out to @SepToob) so when the time comes, I think the help will be there. As for the new tank, I'm torn between doing something like...

I ended up selling the monster toadstool on the left to create a new SPS bommie so the full tank shot won't look that great :( I also have a bunch of frag racks in the display right now too :rolleyes: Once the left side of the tank starts to grow in, I'll take a new FTS and share it. I dose...

How's the Deltec skimmer treating you so far?

I'm not sure when/if I'll be able to upgrade, but the IM EXT 200 Peninsula is very high up on my list so I'm loving all the detail & thought going into this build! @SepToob - if you do pull the trigger, I can help get the tank in place. I even have 4 sets of suction cups and a (mostly) healthy...

I visited High Tide Aquatics for the first time today and really enjoyed my visit. I love Ken's passion for quarantining. He truly cares about his fish and takes their health very, very seriously. For those that haven't visited recently, he has a few rainbow tenuis colonies that look...

Thank you! Yes that toadstool is a monster and started as the size of a half dollar. The SPS junkie in me wants to get rid of it because it's taking up 1/3rd of the tank and sometimes I worry about softie chemical warfare, but it's the home to my clownfish and any non-reefer who sees my tank...

Thank you! It's so great to have BAR to share this hobby with all of you :cool: I'm still catching up on responding to DMs but rest assured if you're not able to get a bali green slimer frag this time around, there will be plenty of free trimmings in the future so I'll make sure everyone gets...

Thanks for the interest everyone! I'll be in touch with everyone as I hear back from the first few that reached out. Also, if you miss out on this round, rest assured there will be more in the future as this is my biggest colony (see right side of pic below) and requires the most trimming :p

Hello! I have a small frag tank in my sump that is dominated by 15 bali green slimer frags. They're big (some are 4"+), they're full encrusted onto frag plugs, and they're free to anyone willing to come pick them up. I live in the Glenwood neighborhood of San Rafael. I'm also happy to throw in...

Some of your acro pics are droolworthy! Which one is this?

Thank you! I agree this could definitely be a driver of the coloration issue. My phosphates are always between .08 - .12, but my nitrates are typically between 0ppm - 3ppm. I have been dosing nitrates because of this and I'm trying to dial it in right now as I'd prefer to have Nitrates stable...

Did a slight re-work of the right side of the tank: (Before) (After) A few reasons for this: The MP40 on the right was always blasting a coral no matter where I positioned it so this arrangement enabled flow all along the front panel without hitting any corals directly, which means I can...
