Honestly though, besides social media, I just try to advertise for the vendors I like. It's the best support sometimes. Free advertising and it helps keep the threads moving for them.

Here is what I got, these should look amazing:

Straight out of the box, this is my first time ever having a torch shipped to me and my 3rd torch ever, I've always been an Acro/SPS guy..... but dang, do torches always have this much POLYP EXTENSION in the bag?!?!

Next out of the box was my SBB acro, just like the last time I bought acros from SBB, healthy looking.
1661400284712.png

After temp acclimating my torch and acro for about 10-minutes, it dawned on me...... oh $%&@, I must have over looked the freebie in the box. Then I found this hiding behind some newspaper wrapped cold packs! At first glance, I was thinking, what the heck kind of coral is this, since I've never owned a Goni before, but figured it out pretty quickly.

Literally minutes after I put the torch in the tank!

And then it happened, my lights turned on before my eyes. I literally yelled WHOAAA to the point where my wife and kid came running into the room. These pictures aren't even under LED's this is T5's; ATI 8-bulb T5 with ReefBrite XHO strip. No editing, this is exactly how it looks. BRIGHT AF!

As far as a care bears, it looks like it...blues are kind of heavy. If its bright as hell it is.

Stop breathing over the top of your tank so much.

On a serious note, yesterday morning before I got my package, I was looking at the other corals in my tank with a flashlight thinking, please don't be the day I mysteriously have poor polyp extension issues.

You may be on to something. The next trend of dosing in reef tanks, makes the corals really big really fast.
Yes but if it lasts for more than 4 hrs call your doctor/vet

Not to mention poor SBB Coral and their hard work.

I hate when that happens. we put a lot of ice packs and a lot of Oxygen in the bags. So they can go 48 hours. Also we cover all shipping delays.. Let's hope for the best!

You can post pics here also when they arrive it will be good to see if the bags are clear or cloudy. if they are cloudy on arrival that is no good. If the bags are crystal clear then its good news!
