yeah buddy that’s what I’m talking about out of all those sick corals there’s something about a red goni that never gets old to me
It don’t get more red than this one it has a yellow / green marble base like a grafted monti.

I used to do mixed reef with basic lps and some nice Millie’s and acros but got a lil bored and wanted to do something different so I made a high end lps dominant tank. Then. I missed having acros. So I recently added a floating shelf up high and threw in a few and will add a few morep

I’m friends with the owner of bsa if you need anything hit me up in dm and I’ll give you some secrets for deals and I’ll tell him you’re a buddy of mine and to hook you up

I dont have a 3d printer but I’m friends with a reefer who has a 3d print business and he makes cool stuff. And when I come up with something I want that doesn’t exist, I explain it and he makes it for me

Frag grow out shelf I designed and had made

It takes standard 2x2 ceramic tiles or can use 3d printed ones with holes for plug stems so you can just drop a new frag in and let it encrust onto a grow out tile

Also, the model that u can just drop a plug into…I always complain to my wife that I have to bone cutter the stem off a plug and send it flying across the room to mount a frag on a bigger tile and she said invent it. I said, silly lady someone’s done that by now and I can’t wait to tell her I was right ha

Sump Molly is ready to eat some dinner…anyone else have any fish in their refugium? I’m aware it “defeats the purpose” but it’s a cool little freshwater throwback mascot for the tank

I’ll do you one better. Single hole was rev 1 for acros and anything encrusting really to be grown out with a nice base on a 2x2 platform

V2 tiles turns it into a automatic zoa prolongation system. Turn 1 plug of zoa into 5 plug of zoa!


The shelf is compatible with both the single and 5 hole tiles. You can swap out anytime and just keep spare tiles to replace ones you use

And we have a 3 tile version but it failed my beta test due to insufficient magnet strength so we are upgrading magnets

The locker one - also failed beta test. It’s too tight and you can’t even force a plug in. We are making new version with the slits 1/16” longer and then I’ll test again

Well, i told her I was right and showed her a picture of the printed tile with the hole for a plug and she said that’s really nifty…I think she was making fun of me but I can’t be too sure

Wives. At least they humor us with our hobby

Then walk away thinking “he’s happy about a plastic square with a hole. What a simple creature”
