We both don't want another tank. I need to farm my digi and do serious trim.

Yep. Hubby DIY hanging from ceilings. was the only way because I don't want any brackets or arms getting in the way when I clean

What is everyone's regime as far as handling SBB corals on arrival? This is my first shipment with them.

Some vendors have extremely good pest management (SBB I believe is one of them from what I've read and seen here!), but pests in this hobby are just part of the necessary evil and happen to everyone at some point.

As I'm staring at my front door and continuously updating my UPS tracker, I've gotten my dip and inspection station prepared of Coral Rx, Bayer, and all of my cleaning tools.

What do you do?

Float for 30 mins for temp acclimate. dip with kcl for about 15 mins, inspect, plop them in

Looks clean! I have very high, vaulted ceilings above the tank so nearly impossible x.x my plan was to clamp on back but with a eurobrace.... it's sketchy. Now I'm diving into 8020 builds with the stand or wall behind, I'm lost haha

How high of a ceiling are we talking about.

SBB is fantastic in regards to pest free corals but even Shane will tell you to dip everything you put into your tank.

Float for temp, KCl dip for 10 mins, rinse and place in tank is how I have been doing this.
