You've got some NICE coral there, FreddyCheeks. :D How long have you been in the hobby? How big is your tank?

I gave up the hobby almost 4 years ago.....sold my 180 gallon SPS and bought my Blue & Gold. :54:

Been in SW for about 5 years now. Now all I have is the 40 pillar. Broke down the 75gal so I could get Fred.

GREAT video!! Really nice, clean tank! I bet you can't wait for your frags to grow into big colonies. :)

I see you are a fellow Jersyan, do you mind me asking where you get most your frags from? When I was in it, I mostly avoided stores, but LOVED frag swaps and got a whole bunch of my stuff from fellow reefers. :)

I would say about 90% are from trades or other reefers. Joined the local reef club and they have meeting with raffles that I got some from as well.

I keep hoping to get a bio cube, I need to dial it down and quit adding to my critter list. I love the beauty and calm of the reef, I love to dive.

I did it for 7 years and finally got out of it when I want to concentrate more time to my birds as my reef tanks took up majority of my time. I see you have LPS, SPS, Mushrooms, and Zooanthids.

Yeah. There's less mushrooms and more pretty sticks now. LOL. I have been slowly trading my larger colonies of lower end stuff for higher end stuff.

Wow. So beautiful. Nice video too. If you want some snails, there are tons of big ones "walking" around outside on the pathway every night. I don't know where they are going or coming from, but it's every night. I can ask a few if they want a home in a beautiful aquarium

Nice tank. I think saltwater tanks are great but with my dog, my bird, tightness on time and money and the fact I never even started a fresh water tank makes me pass. I will just admire the ones that others have created.
