Old mate just doing his thang

[@randomreefer]

Yeah he real cool. Love going there and just buying 20 corals at a time lol

[@ReefingAndAdventuresWithSteve]

Great video. A girl has got to eat. I just sold my first frags last week. I'll have to check out reef2reef. Thanks for sharing.

[@randomreefer]

Congrats on your first sale. I think my first sale was a toadstool leather 😂

[@phuphu88]

love this format!

[@randomreefer]

Thanks a lot 💪🏾💪🏾

[@robertfowler1741]

Great Job!

[@randomreefer]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@shipmate3577]

RBR, cool video. I like how you bring locals into your videos

[@randomreefer]

Yo thanks 🙏🏾 just trying to do the best I can to get other reefers some exposure

[@Reefkeepers_Archive]

Personally i always go for wild caught/collected coral, but it is always interesting to see other peoples systems.

[@randomreefer]

I’m not totally against wild caught but I much rather get one that a little more acclimated to tank living. Some of those wild acros species come in huge though so I wouldn’t mind snagging a few of those 😂😂

[@robertedwards9961]

95% of wild collected corals die before they reach their destination, and 5% afterwards. Your ignorance is astounding.

[@Reefkeepers_Archive]

@robertedwards9961 then I must be lucky or you must be wrong, my system has been thriving for months with wild colonies, and while they may not be as quick growing as their aquacultured counterparts, my wild caught platygyra garden has definitely put out some new polyps.

[@TFunkStardelux]

Awesome video!
Chad is great - most of my corals come from him.

[@randomreefer]

Mine too! lol thanks for watching.

[@adama8955]

Should be called "Mullet Coral Farm"

[@randomreefer]

😂😂😂 it’s not a mullet though

[@nlm9802502]

[@randomreefer]

[@randomreefer]
