Wisco Tank/Build Updates

[littlebeard]

Not exactly reefing, but I took advantage of this insanely warm weather to clean out the small pond (one of those molded ones like 200-250 gallons) in my back yard. The kids decided it would be fun last October to stick about 10 gallons of white pine needles in it..... I also found out the previous owners thought it would be a good idea to stick about 300 lbs of granite rocks and another 200 of rocks and sand down there. Also added a small waterfall/filter on it. Got it up and running, just need to clean up all those rocks and add some rock/design around the waterfall. Once it warms up a little more I'll move my 1 koi from inside to out. Might get a more colorful one this year if I can find one I like.

Awesome. I'm watching a few of the items they just posted on ebay right now. Were you happy with their quality and health?

Very happy with the quality. Shipping could be improved. No heat pack, frag in a bag. My recent orders from reeftide included a nice styrofoam cooler, heat pack and frags in small plastic cups in labeled bags. Very impressed with their stuff, they are my new go to i think

Good to know, thanks! I'd be driving to pick them up myself, so shipping wouldn't be an issue

 

[Zach B]

Definitely worth it then, just remember how small some of them are

I wanted to pick them up but couldn’t with the kids and our schedules unfortunately. You won’t be disappointed by the quality

It is funny how “big” online pics make some frags look. And then you see it in person and go what the heck.

First two frags in the tank now to figure out where I want to place them. Should I take them off the frag or cut the stand off then glue them where I want them?

Very cool, congrats! It’s personal preference on the frags. Sometimes i find a perfect spot for a plug knowing the coral will overgrow it anyways so no need to remove

Anybody else have any tank updates or cool photos of their tanks/fish?

Just getting out of the uglies, finally stomped out some cyano and the gha is nearly gone. She's still a baby, long ways to go.
