Coral Free to a newbie

[Caseyoidae]

Newbie here! Here's my tank. Can you post better pictures so I can see what I'm getting? The pictures you posted aren't very clear. ??

Sweet Jesus playing lead guitar for Lynard skynard that is a gorgeous tank!

I like the spirit of this thread, good on you @Arnaldo24; although I wouldn't have had the idea or energy to deal with it in any way, shape, or form.

Having said that, I'll also donate a 5 or so frag zoanthid pack to whomever you choose as a holiday gift. Or maybe to the runner up if you prefer. Your call, but happy to contribute if you don't mind a minor thread hijacking. I'm not going to take part in this thread again until the 27th as per my previous paragraph, though. lol

This is awesome dude. Thanks for the donation. Im guessing Winner takes all!!! lets see how it goes
Im not just giving away whtever i dont want. Im actually fragging my colonies. Those that seen my tank can vouch for that.
but as much as i wanna hook up a newbie to the hobby im not crazy to give it to some1 that has no idea how to care for them.
reason why i ask for a pic of ur tank, ur equipment list n ur levels etc Posted here.
So we all can see if u capable of caring for this animals. Having NO corals doesnt put u first in line
So far too many pms (that im ignoring) and so far no1 has actually posted full info.
anyways. Still over 2 weeks.

[luv2bhated_ink]

My tank. 155 gallon. Tank officially started on jan 22 ... Been taking is slow since everyone said don't rush a thing. SO i have went the D.I.Y route i have 2 T5 lights, a eshopps skimmer. 2 jabeo wave makers so far, made my own sump out of a 40 gallon breeder tank. So far all I have is 2 clowns. 3 chromis. 1 bangaii cardinal. 2 cleaner shrimp. 2 gobys and 1 wrasse and a chocolate chip star. a bunch of hermit crabs, had a bunch of aster snails now just there shells that the hermit crabs keep switching in and out of. you can see them in the picture all over the place... 2 hammer coral. 2 anemonie cause 1 decided to split and 1 zoa right in the middle . someone had gave me 2 stick corals to try to see if they would survive but they didn't because tank was too new when this happened, ??‍??‍ you can see them just chilling on the bottom of the picture, i thought they looked cool so left the skeleton in there... Its definitely a work in progress ?? . might be getting some l.e.d for christmas not sure yet depends how much that wife loves me lmfao

I’ll add in a small RBTA, some zoas, tubbs Stellata frag, a frag of neon green nepthea, frag of milka stylo and a frag of bubble gum monti.

It can go to whoever Arnaldo chooses.

 

[f8thless]

Nice gesture!

 

[aclman88]

Might as well give it a go. I have a 20 tall that I upgraded from my 5 gallon pico. Have about a year of total experience under my belt so far. Running two AI Primes, seachem tidal for its surface skimming and a diy aqua clear 70 refugium. Dosing with a Jecod 2-channel doser. The more I talk the more I realize I may not be a newb anymore.. amazing how much you can learn in a year. PIcs of my frankenstein setup:

I know there are a lot of donations going to a winner, but I want to also help out someone who is very green (like I was not too long ago).

I would like to donate some hardy beginner corals for a runner up to cut their teeth on. Someone who has a very new and bare tank:

- Green palys I just fragged
- Half dollar size chunk of gsp on a rock
- Pulsing Xenia and Kenya I can clip fresh
- Blue/Green Mushroom
- Possibly some zoas I may be able to get a frag of (if I can get them off the rock)

 

[Arnaldo24]

Ok i dnt think this thread is complicated but I guess the magic word free makes people quickly pm me to see if they win it
Doest work like that. I literately had a pm saying when can he pick up his tank is empty and no it wasnt a joke.
please read the rules. Its simple.
i will not give corals away to some1 i think has no clue of wht hes doing or because he dnt have money to buy cuz this hobby is too expensive SMH
I do love all the fun comments keeps this thread alive. Thanks guy
Ps: if u offer i will reach back on the 27th ( dnt hide @nanoreefer22.

[92CornerReef]

This is an awesome gesture. Someone is going go get a great pre x-mas gift. I can add in a frag of green monti, slow burn monti, orange setost an pavana chip. i can also throw in some dry rock if needed.

 

[Eisman SL65]

Bro if you find someone that's deserving I'll chip in as well. Free hermits and some surprise cool mushrooms and maybe a leather or 2. Let me know.

 

[Arnaldo24]

Thanks guys i do appreciate all the generosity u guys r showing.
i do wanna find that person that will take care this corals and make his tank a bit better and hopefully pay it forward when hes ready. Isnt that the whole point??
Anyways. Rules r simple and rules r rules. So far no1 has posted the requirements here or pm. Some thing just cuz they send me an empty tank im gonna unload all this corals right away lmao

 

[Arnaldo24]

Plus i wanna do it on this thread publicly so its all legit and no funny games. Not trying to get it for me or any1 of my friends. Hell i already told 2 of my friends to f*%#^ off. No freebies. Lmao. U know who u r.
