JoJo's No Funny Business Office Tank Thread

I’m now 100% positive that my next coral purchases will be through SBB. The amount of different gonis they had was awe inspiring…..and the fact that they tell you it’s “tiny” on some of them is great.

Look at this thing I sooo want it

It doesn’t look like this, that photo is enhanced

Someone on here bought one recently and posted pics

Talk to Steve or Thuan. They have most of the SBB Euphyllias I believe.

One of the TSA videos showed an amazing LPS display tank in their store that had a pink and blue frogspawn (may be a pink one and blue one next to each other). Looked awesome.

Done and Thuan said it’s not like the picture…. Makes me wanna cry

 

[Reefing_addiction]

But Thuan did recommend two that she says are great

Happy Monday everybody!

Round 2 of shipping bag testing. Results: Fail

Tested different temps and times for sealing, and every time there are always at least a few holes. This thin cellophane bag (advertised as able to seal and hold water!) is trash. Probably good for making cookie bags, and that's it.

Now I'm on the hunt for new bags to test. Recommendations welcome!

SPLAM TIME!!

Dragon lady bounce has migrated over to the RFA garden:

Beach bum monti appears to be keeping it together:

The Meat Corner:

Remaining pink neptheas looking pink:

Pink birdsnest looking awesome (@TangerineSpeedo )

Pavona and slimer looking ok. Still haven't taken back the cloves...

OMG, cloves!

Psammy looking good. Holding its own against the monti cap.

SPS island battling it out for limited space. Blue monti in the back growing well and looking gorgeous (@TangerineSpeedo )

Back of tank shot of the blue digi:

Spotted nem crab waving hello

I see you

Zoa garden

And look who's growing in the back corner away from everything else!

Pectinia being big and.. big

Bounce spot:

Euphyllia garden:

Photobombing astraea who also wouldn't let me scrape that part of the glass. Anyway, carpet shroom behind it growing well.

And that's the mama shroom. Ridiculous.

Adeeb-adeeb-adeeb-adeeb a-that's all folks!

What's the mil on those bags, 2-4? Maybe 6 mil?

6 Mil Heavy Duty Poly Tubing Roll - 6

Cut to length special size bags for odd shaped or extra large products. Popular heavy-duty thickness. Roll converts from 1" to 3" core. Eliminates the need to stock an expensive variety of bags. All-virgin film meets FDA and USDA specifications. Poly Tubing Dispensers . Seal with Poly Tubing...

Otherwise if we do not need to rely on any oxygen transfer for the low mils, vaccum seal bags? (Sans vaccum). Just spit ballin'..

For shipping coral, do we need oxygen transfer? If there is some air in the bags and the bags are fully sealed, is that going to be enough? How much air is usually transferring in an out of a bag that's been double-bagged, twisted at the end and stapled or rubber banded?

Was also looking at the vacuum seal bags as an option.

 

[907_Reefer]

That was my thought as well, probably don't need to worry about any O2 transfer for corals and can just go with the thick stuff..? #NotAnExpertHere

Vaccum seal bags stand up to a pretty good beating in my experience.

@Goaway see above

That's spendy.

 

[JoJosReef]

That's spendy.

You know, self-appreciation is a critical component of one's well-being. Amirite @Reefing_addiction ??

When black eggcrate is blue…assume some heavy editing has been done

How do these look as far as risk of heavy editing?

 

[08TRDOFFROAD]

That’s one I’m not fond of… I do have two frogs that are green…

I want to collect all the colors though so @JoJosReef I’ll make my own rainbow darn it!!! Lol

I could have a tank full of all the varieties of hammers, torches, octo, frogspawn, etc and be a very happy man!

No, That piece isn't worth it to me. Someone else, yes. But to me. Nopes.

 

[08TRDOFFROAD]

Hammers only? Or torches too?

If torches also…look into Todd’s torch or a cotton candy! Brilliant shades of bright green

Both!

So you know the bags you get from the local LFS or even ones they ship corals in…those seal up real nice

I usually try and leave a little air in the bag
