I was wondering how I missed following your thread, and then noticed you had kind of a (ahem) long gap between updates Hahahahhaa! So true. 😂 Thank you for the kind words, too, Teeny!

WV Reefer Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Welcome to the TOTM club. 😊 I can’t believe I missed this thread either. It’s so funny when a tank slips under the radar. Very well deserved. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2 Quote Link to comment

I'm cracking up with the <fill-in-the-blank> and Dirty tank threads. Your GIF game is on point and your tanks are beeeeutiful! On the other hand, this is definitely a blink and you'll miss it thread. All whopping 3 posts.... Gotta get better about posting stuff..... 🙂 2 1 Quote Link to comment

The posts and the little side conversations are what make life entertaining!! 1 Quote Link to comment
Lula_Mae Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Congrats on TOTM! I love that Natalia's bowl inspired you since I'm pretty sure her previous tank was a Nuvo 8 zoa tank. Also find it funny that I was the last one to post before the long hiatus lol. 3 Quote Link to comment

Also, promise this frag is looking better today - this was about 3 seconds after it went in my tank... I, too, succumbed to the allure of the LC Black Friday sale lol. Got my first-ever acans, a fat ricordea, blondies and petroglyphs (both of which I believe I discovered in Natalia's threads and fell in love with. Not my first time trying them but hopefully the last time I need to lol). 2 Quote Link to comment

It's so funny how hard it was to get them for a while - I remember searching and searching, then suddenly Legendary had them again. I hope Natalia comes back some day to see how much she's inspired us. And I really hope that sculpture bowl of hers is doing well. 1 Quote Link to comment

The OG one is several years old at this point, I believe. My little frag of 3 polyps of Petroglyphs is looking fluffy, they were open in the bag! And my blondies came with an extra polyp and a baby forming. I've always been impressed with the corals I've gotten from LC, they are always really nice. I just have a hard time keeping things alive the last few years lol. 1 Quote Link to comment

This is probably the fourth time I've tried them. I killed the frag I got last month by dipping in too strong a Lugol's iodine solution trying to rid it of stupid coral eating pods (they ate my scrambled eggs zoas wholesale). 1 Quote Link to comment
