Artificial reef and corals?

[Zoaelite]

I would die to see what the mark up on that fake aquarium coral is. REALLY, 1.5 grand for a piece that's 30" across?!!!

Daniella, that orange sponge looks great! You have me thinking...I have always liked sponges.

yeah, but those ruins are ugly, sponges are still pretty.

I surely would not put that in my tank. yuck but hey...it's only a matter of personnal taste.

I love sponges, real or artificial.

Wow, who knew that I would have gotten so many respones from this thread that I started..What I would like to know is the cost of this tanks these guys do after their installations and also I was also curious about their "pre-boxed" saltwater that they use. How you guys ever seen that or even heard about that?

wow!! And people say i'm ignorant. Maybe he likes those ruins. It's a good thing your on my ignore list as I only see your posts when i'm logged off.

lol!

Those ruins aren't mine, but I do like them. What I like most is that he has them in a reef tank which is not very common, and then he posts the pic in his signature which shows up on every one of his posts. I like it. I'm sure he likes it, and I'm sure he doesn't care what others think about it.

I kept it for two reasons:

1. My sister gave it to me on my birthday and that's more important than getting a "yuck" from someone for keeping it.
2. And its gonna look good when it blends in coralines, zoas and monti caps take over it like those artificial reefs in the ocean

I don't think anyone ever said that. Other things, sure, but not that

[Madreefer]

Well yea you know what I mean. I've been trying to behave

[daniella3d]

Like I said, matter of personnal taste. I say yuck to coffee, can't stand that smell of it, hate the taste of it with a passion, yet so many people are addicted to it and can't start their day without it.

I never liked anything that looked "human" made in a tank. No matter what it is. I think it just look out of place and unatural spoiling the scenery. Yet it does have a point, it make the scene in your tank look larger in scale.

You could have a chalice grow on it, or a turbinaria.
