Living Reef Orlando's Farm Build Thread!

[Living Reef Orlando]

After nailing the first QT tanks, we decided to stage our MOTHER COLONY tank! This massive system is a 550G mother tank, 350G frag tank, and an INSANE 400G sump.

Would you guys like some updates on this mother colony tank?

More lights, more stands, more sumps, and more tanks featuring a whole lot of mess as we continue to stage massive systems!

Make sure to watch/follow this post to keep updated as we build a top tier aquaculture facility!

Hey everyone! As we continue to post you are more than welcome to ask questions and suggestions to this thread as we build this out! ;Happy

Can we just skip the store and go STRAIGHT to the farm...LOL!!! ;Hilarious

Just kidding, I need to see the 800 at the store.

Throwing up some more tanks! What do you guys think this one is for?

Peep the massive sump! If only it would stay that clean ;Woot

You can't skip the 800 gal lobby tank. That is a sight to see.

Awesome thread and build!

Stringing and staging lights is no simple task! These are going right above our SPS grow-out and mother colony tanks.

Strung and ready to grow - our LPS tanks and in-take are maturing up and already pumping out crazy beautiful coral.

We only have half of the farm setup. Who is ready for the other half?!

Remember to keep following the farm build thread!

 

[Living Reef Orlando]

We are steadily working on bringing you guys some crazy coral very soon!

In the meantime, have a little timelapse of a quick photo-snapping session in the farm.

There will be an update regarding a new infrastructure addition to the farm very soon!!

Can anyone guess how many frags we have in these tanks??

 

[Living Reef Orlando]

The farm has been particularly busy these days!

We have been meticulously checking these coral and tanks day-in and day-out as we approach our Coral Mayhem Live Sale on 05/08-05/09. We hold ourselves to the highest standards and make sure these coral are in TIP TOP shape as they arrive to you!

Check out the sale HERE!

SUMPS HAVE ARRIVED.

Thank you to Luna Reef Customs for these MONSTER sumps!!

Monster-sized clownfish for reference

As we grow we continue to expand our aquaculture facility to ensure this hobby remains as sustainable as possible. We want to continue to bring top-tier corals to new and older reefers alike!

In addition to these new sumps, we also have 3 new show tanks so we can travel the country and bring our HOT corals TO YOU. ;Happy

Very cool following along.

That awkward moment when you thought it was a good idea to take a panoramic of a reef tank...

All jokes aside, our LPS mother tank is coming along super well!!

INTRODUCING... LRO'S GONI ISLAND

We can't wait till we show the rest of this beast of a tank!!

 

[Townes_Van_Camp]

Very cool. I’ll make the trip down from Jacksonville when you are taking visitors

 

[Living Reef Orlando]

That would be awesome! As soon as we start allowing people back in we will let everyone know!

 

[DazAquariums]

So can I take a tour and touch stuff and things?

 

[Living Reef Orlando]

We are always up to no good... Especially Ann ;Woot

At RAP we are unveiling a new setup - here's a little behind the scenes shot. Think it seems a bit bare bones? YOU'RE RIGHT. This is just the beginning of this little project.

Wait until Saturday for us to unveil what we have been working on!

What is the lime green Goni in the right of the pic, I’ve been in search of this kind for a while now?!!

 

[Living Reef Orlando]

Getting these sumps ready for the next expansion to the farm! The quarantine tanks!

Guess how many tanks we are up to now

 

[Living Reef Orlando]

Our Acropora grow out tank is doing work in growing out straight fire!!

The farm is expanding and this tank is definitely the star - check out the video to see for yourself!
