Spencer7 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Awesome, thank you! Do you have any regrets when it comes to your equipment choices? Where did you buy most of your frags? Overall, I like those dimensions. Just the corner overflow (vs. falseback) gets me. 48"x30"x20" would be a nice 120g setup Quote Link to comment

Thrassian Atoll Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Holy smokes!!! Goals for sure. Stunning!! Some amazing stuff you have there. That last photo of the ASD Strawberry Lemonade looks like a frag of WWC French Tickler I just picked up from a local. I really like that Rickys poison Ivy and the Battle Corals Houdini. So, do you ship any frags? 😂 Quote Link to comment

I have the WWC French Tickler and it is one of my favorite corals, it does look different than the ASD Strawberry Lemonade because it doesn't have the yellow tips and the pink and blue is much more pronounced in the body. Yes, I do ship frags just shoot me a PM. 1 Quote Link to comment
