And most recently, I received this amazing pack from fellow R2R hobbyist @FarmerTy on Friday. Ty's frags are some of the most colorful frags I received in a long time and he is a pleasure to deal with.

Left to right top:
RCA Baton Rouge
BC Hungs Truly Unbelievable Rainbow
Palmer's Millepora

Left to right bottom:
Watchguy123 Blueberry Wine
Vivid’s Confetti
ORA Pearl Berry

The RCA Baton Rouge is an eye catcher too! Credit Ty for the amazing photographs as well!

 

[justingraham]

[aquavista99]

I asked Santa for a new camera to photograph my reef.

That is one great list, I am looking forward to some updated pictures

 

[aquavista99]

It is stunning to see in person, Justin. You will be very happy with that deep-water gem.

That Hung's should be amazing. I just got one from Adam at BC myself and is the one frag I'm most excited about seeing what it becomes.

 

[aquavista99]

Agreed! It’s been on my wish list for a while too.

I really want to add a Moorish idol. A group of tangs will be added as well. May include adding black and gem tangs too.

FYI, I recently had to remove my MI after he developed a taste for sps polyps. For the first several months he focused mainly on zoanthids, consuming hundreds, if not thousands, but then he made the move to SPS and that’s when I had to fish him out.

Looking forward to pics of the new system.

I love mine but @stylo has a point. They can turn. I can’t keep coral alive so mines doesn’t have any coral to pick on except a few torches and leathers

 

[Reefer40b]

Just got to stay, that this is amazing and it was great seeing this come together! Oh and Merry Christmas, I hope you continue to have great success with all those SPS!

Aquavista99,
I am joining the party late but this is a sweet build you've got going. I do wish I'd chronicled all the electric work and water line work we did before the build. You detail out nicely all the pre-work that needs to go into a build of this size. It really helps people to see it goes WAY beyond just getting an enormous glass box and calling it a day.

I never thought to mention it to you but I'm actually from your neck of the woods. My wife's family lives in the greater Cinci area and I've got family members involved in the local clubs there. Such a good scene you all have. (that's where I got hooked up with Chris and man I'm glad I did!!)

I saw your notes on my build, thanks for looking. I am really excited to compare so of your details as I used a good portion of the same team you did when putting mine together. I loved the pic of your little one climbing around inside. It gives perspective to how big these things really are.

I would love to see a pic of your grow out system. It doesn't have to be of any high quality. I'm not judging corals or anything - of course yours look ridiculously amazing based on what I've seen. The growout/frag is the final element I am considering putting in-line and am curious: 1) is yours separate or plumbed in-line? 2) size/setup? 3) If separate are you replicating the same conditions lighting/flow/placement/etc. that you have in the DT? Always curious when you have such vivid, high-end corals in a grow out how do you insure environment replication?

Cheers,
Andy
