Wow, I can see purple on the right and green on the left. That is going to be an amazing coral!

Here’s a crappy picture from my cell phone. RRC Rainbow splice is definitely growing.

I know that piece set you back a pretty penny! I’ve been wanting to see how this grows for people. Keep us up to date with progression shots

Just found your thread here, @SawCJack00 , tank is looking gorgeous! I lived through Irma myself, as well - thankfully my place did lose power or even internet, so I got VERY lucky with my tank, such that is it/was. Your rebuild is incredible and loving the new corals!

Will do. i think it will be a fast grower once it starts to branch. it has encrusted quickly, and the colors are really brightening up!

Thank you very much!. I'll be doing an update this week with some new pics. Glad you made it through Irma OK. It was crazy in my neighborhood...

oooo excited to see new pics! I was on the mainland for Irma, and the Keys got hit MUCH harder, but still was a bit lucky regarding power. Personally it was horrible for me because I broke my ankle and had to get surgery the day before she was due to hit, so it was a painful and confusing 5 days -_____-

Ouch! Yeah we got hit hard. I ended up with a roofing nail going completely through my foot. Fortunately I had some Cipro (to treat anemones) that I took, and it did not get infected, but the medical director for the national guard came by my house and inspected it, then made a record of it, so I am officially a casualty of Irma...

I feel like you should put that in a resume somehow. Or at least find as many ways as possible to casually bring it up in conversation. Because that's crazy. But awesome.

Should be able to get a full update done this weekend, but in the meantime, here's a crappy cell phone pic of my JF Fox Flame...

AZMSGT · Aug 27, 2019

Those corals are looking great Bill. So envious..

Blutspitze · Aug 28, 2019

Fox Flame pic is looking pretty good, IMO. Especially for a cell

Just read through your build thread. You have an AMAZING reef. I have an SPS reef that would love a piece of that Oregon Tort, or Walt Disney in it. If you are interested in selling some frags, please PM me and we can make something happen. I also have a build thread that haven't updated but will be resurrecting in the next week. Again awesome reef...

Thank you very much. I'm way overdue for a thread update, but I've been so busy lately that I just haven't had the time to do it. I will definitely be doing a major thread update soon. I do have both of those frags cut and fully healed right now. i'll shoot you a PM.
