Can anyone tell me what this is?

Just kidding! It's an RTA Hidden Forest Birdsnest. It fell down today so I figured why not go ahead and move it over. It's like half of my tank... Probably need to frag it some.

Moved the other 2 Micros over too so they're mad at me. Their rock is currently soaking, hopefully it'll be in the tank soon.

See the tumor? Definitely a bounce. Christmas Favia Bounce. What's that make it worth??? I can call it the TB King Kong Bounce Ultra Green and Red?

Did a small water change yesterday evening and used the water to start the saltwater soak on the two Aragocrete rocks I made the other day. Also, I decided to make 2 more rock racks, 1 for the Bowers and 1 for the Alveoporas. Also moved the Galaxea and Sponge - Galaxea wasn't happy but the sponge was doing good. Also moved the Hollywood Stunner to the front corner. We'll see if I like it there. Transferred the 3 Gonis also and a baby Astreopora.

Adding a Red Digitata:

I took 3 smallish frags and am making a twisted forest of Digi that should grow together into a nice chunk with bunches of branches

This guy is sold:

A nice Milka Stylo. I've got 2 more Milkas left and 1 Rainbow so I'll likely sell another one of the Milka Stylos and keep 1 and the Rainbow.

Fragged a couple more of the Slimeball Anacropora today. Probably going to frag some more Red Digi tomorrow and Thursday I'll frag the Birdsnest.

I can't give my stuff away.

I've got a few more things people want to buy. After that I may be done... I haven't seen many Joker Nems locally so I know there's a small market for those. My Birdsnest is the RTA Hidden Forest (I'm pretty sure it's the Blue Zing or very similar) which everyone has the standard pink or green Birdsnest here so I should be able to sell a couple of those. I've got several people that are asking for frags of the Slimeball Anacropora so maybe...

Not a ton of things, but for being "easy" stuff in my tank, it seems like none of it is standard.

The new new Aragocrete rocks are getting close to being done soaking in freshwater - pH was only 10. Old new Aragocrete rocks are currently soaking in aged saltwater and have been for a couple of days. pH hasn't risen in the bucket and parameters are the same as the tank so I can move them over whenever I suppose. Maybe give it a few more days of soak. I dunno... I added phosphates so they hopefully won't strip the water when I add them to the tank.

I love how only you would have construction site looking frag holders! Those are cool! Did u 3-D those?

Yep! They're a ParlaQuatics design (That's Projects with Sam for those that don't know).

Should have figured- I’m still wrapping my brain around the mat roller he made!

I'm getting ready to design a few different frag holders. Previous racks were egg crate or Aragocrete or both combined.

Excited to see - you’re getting fancy. Pretty soon you’ll go metallic like @stoney7713

Nope! Metallic is PLA. I'm using PETG.

They have what she is talking about in PETG too, it's not quite as shiny silky but it's rainbow color changing.

For the real shiny silky look PLA wins. For urchin hats and such it doesn't matter.
