I’d rather win a frag from your tank!

[@alexferrara5975]

Great video. You are bidding the way I want to bid on frags but am afraid to. Lol.

[@DreamStateLiving]

lol 🤑🤑

[@yxngkuya]

Awesome! Thanks for giving back!

[@DreamStateLiving]

[@Illest_KP]

I give you props on keeping acros. I can’t even keep birds nest alive lol. Great choices though.

[@serg9427]

I mean she’s literally buying corals off eBay from Cornbread which is Notorious for extremely high prices and very small pieces. This guy lives 10min from me and refuses to do local pick up and insist on having it shipped to me. He’s also known for changing the names of corals to whatever his heart desires then charge more for it.

[@carminecarlone2869]

Also heard pretty much the exact same thing from a friend

[@BonesSaw1979]

Sounds like a turd. I’ll avoid him

[@carminecarlone2869]

Cool haul! The new Avatar was a great movie I thought as well lol. I do want to offer some advice for dipping though, when I dip corals especially acros to kill red bugs or AEFW I do bayer dip, iodine dip (inspect and brush plug) and then rinse. Bayer kills literally anything on any coral that isn’t the coral, iodine heals any damages and prevents infections. Rinse ensures no contaminants and brushing removes anything you might not see. If the plug looks in “bad shape” (algea eggs etc) I’ll dip just the plug in hydrogen peroxide for 1 minute limiting exposure to the coral. If it’s zoas you can dunk the whole plug in for up to 1:30. That literally kills everything and anything . Coral may bleach out a bit but recovers fine and algea will disintegrate by morning. Here are the measurements and times for anyone who is reading this. It is safe for all corals! 1. Bayer dip: 30mL to 2 cups tank water baste for 15mins 2.lugols iodine dip: 3drops (brightwell) to 2 cups, gently swirl for 10 mins 3. Hydrogen peroxide (optional): expose only non flesh parts of coral for up to 1:30 zoas and acans are ok to submerge but will bleach. 4. Rinse in tank water 5. In the tank😋

[@DreamStateLiving]

Thanks Carmine! Appreciate the tips!!

[@barelyreefer]

Coral auctions are pretty sweet, if you win at a nice price! Good luck on those killer tiny frags.

[@DreamStateLiving]

Thanks!

[@davidwoodson1108]

You have a very kick ass tank. Very good lookin corals, bright color s too.

[@DreamStateLiving]

Thank you David!! 😁

[@ManiacalMangoes]

Feel the same way about having to win enough auctions to make it worth. Makes it more stress than it’s worth lol I did it once with WWC. Got 3-4 corals from their eBay and one from their store. There were a handful I was banking on getting that I was outbid on a second before it ended

[@DreamStateLiving]

yea right lol win 1 $10 coral an pay $40 shipping 😂

[@tedblack2163]

Good luck with the acros.

[@DreamStateLiving]

[@charlie_brown187]

Nice score I have a idea on this ebay thing but not sure if or how it will play out but if it goes good basically be able to score high end acro frags for cheap price

[@luismagana3015]

Awesome looking tank

[@DreamStateLiving]

thanks!

I would love to win that 3 gallon tank! I would use it as a frag tank and breeding my clownfish!

I’d love to win that little tank and give a nano reef a shot!! Right now I have a 90 and 125 reef!! I love the saltwater world!!

[@DreamStateLiving]

ouuu a nano would be nice!

[@bubblebaath7840]

ugh i gotta get my money up... ive only got like 5 corals in my tank and its been like a year and a half. School whooping my ass right now and the tank kinda falling into the background unfortunately

[@DreamStateLiving]

aye no sweat patience is key! They will come ! 🤙

[@Soarhighfpv]

Nice corals

[@bluereef9530]

Take the Monti out from the top. Find a place that's lower towards the bottom.Only going to cause trouble later for your High end SPS. Question why didn't you place them in QT Frag tank until you got clue. Never like leaving someone plug in DT. Never know what eggs possibly on it. Living dangerously... good luck...

[@DreamStateLiving]

I'll just keep it trimmed, I like it growing on the back wall. I dip all my coral before going in there but yea I guess ya never know what you could get 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@castro1223]

Whoa! OMG is looking nice

This video was so entertaining to watch!! I forgot about ebay bidding lol nor did I know you can get corals on ebay

[@scooterglass4497]

I recently had my first major losses / tank crash. I had intentionally waited a long time before adding anything expensive or temperamental. Needless to say in time I became comfortable. Ended up with a great collection and eventually added a Dragon Soul Torch among other more expensive pieces of LPS. Watched everything flourish and grow new heads and skeletons getting chunky. It was a wonderful year of watching growth. Then tides shifted from smooth to disastrous. The financial loss is tough but harder yet was the psychological costs. I am very attached to the creatures under my care. I attempt to be pragmatic as possible and follow QT procedures for all livestock. But none of that matters when you’re trying to emulate the Oceans Reefs inside a small contained environment. Inevitably something will happen/change/go-wrong. The torch went through polyp bailout as well a Frogspawn and an Octospawn I had. Parameters remained consistent and other corals remained seemingly healthy… until they weren’t. I thankfully didn’t lose everything and have been battling the last few months to restabilize my system. Dealing with some algae but otherwise things seemed to have balanced. I was ready to throw in the towel and try starting again down the road. However, Jake Adams wouldn’t quit and would certainly take everything as educational. No matter the frustration and costs. So I will continue to fight and come Spring time I have a Waterbox 130.4 I’m going to upgrade / add into the collection. Never quit and when you need some inspiration know you will find some here on the

[@DreamStateLiving]

dang Scooter sorry to hear that :( Waita stay in it! Good luck on the upgrade! happy reefing!

Girl! You need to eat sum green foods !

green food?

When in a bind just use superglue from the dolla store. It's the same shit

[@DreamStateLiving]

all I use is the dollar store super glue hahahah 🤑

I’m so scared to bid on coral. I hear nightmare stories 😅

[@PfeifferFishing]

Love the vibes ! Your a positive person . Keep it up :)

[@DreamStateLiving]

thanks Jacob:)

[@davidwoodson1108]

I love to donate some money for your tank, since I can't have one. I missed having my reef tank.

[@DreamStateLiving]

ahh thats extremely kind of you, thank you so much! Sorry to hear you cant have a tank :/ To support the channel you can shop the merch if you'd like! Or if merch isn't your thing under the videos theirs a "super thanks" that allows for a donation.. Really appreciate the support, means alot! 🤙😬

Love your videos and cant wait to see those frags grow out!

Thanks Allen!!

Great video!

[@DreamStateLiving]

Thank Zac!

[@therallybeard]

Im skeptical on spending too much on coral or large colonies now. I bought a dragon soul torch head and it brown jellied before it ever even went into the tank... Acros are cool though

[@DreamStateLiving]

eshhh :( yea im much more of a buy small frags an let me them grow kinda gal lol sorry to hear about your torch!

[@6jdhd]

Coral RX is crap for sps. Does not kill AEFW. So you could be introducing Arco eatting flatworms to your tank.

[@DreamStateLiving]

rut row.. hopefully not.

[@6jdhd]

@@DreamStateLiving . You can buy Red Sea dip x. That will take care of of every pest flat worms and red bugs

I just couldn't buy coral or fish online just yet. I'm not at that point in the hobby to trust it lol

[@DreamStateLiving]

in time in time lol

[@stupidkitty84]

That's not how to win a bid and keep the bid low. Bid $0.50-$1.00 initially just to get in the bid race. Then 20 seconds before the bid is about end, go a few bucks above highest bidder, and if someone gets a higher bid after you, with 6-8 seconds left, put in another bid just a few bucks higher. I've won 50+% of my bids this way, mostly losing to Ebay timing out 2-4 seconds too early or Ebay freezing up in the final seconds.
