SPS Xmas Tree Decoration Time.

biggles · 11/16/2013, 03:50 PM

It's time you all started thinking about your reefs Xmas tree so best get decorating otherwise the Aussies will win the contest as usual........

Americans are excused from the comp as no one wants to see a tree covered in brown SPS.......... not that i'm trying to stir up some competition or anything.......

Made my tree

The decoration store i'm going to go shopping in this afternoon......

Ho ho ho, acro snipping we will go..........

can't wait to see your tree..

JP SPS · 11/16/2013, 08:53 PM

How about gluing a few fresh frags to fishing line loops and hanging them off the horrida........

Made a start on the snipping and decorating with zero collateral damage which is unusual for me....... even put a pink stylo present under the bloody tree - if ya gonna do something ya might as well do it right.

ssscuz · 11/17/2013, 04:35 AM

Ha ha funny mate.
Love the decoration store!!

sahin · 11/17/2013, 04:42 PM

Forgot the Xmas tree...THOSE ACROS with freaking amazing colours!

Anyway, the thread is too funny! U better keep that tree going for at least 6 months. I want to see what it looks like!

Wills612 · 11/17/2013, 04:59 PM

Thats way cool! What do you plan on doing with you tree after X-mas? Put it on the curb?

Reef or Die · 11/17/2013, 05:16 PM

That's funny! If it's on the curb after Xmas ill race you there.
Anyway, very creative idea. Love it! Unbelievable tank too!!!

trueblackpercula · 11/17/2013, 08:07 PM

Very nice Biggles when Christmas is over you can send that tree my way Lol

biggles · 11/17/2013, 10:30 PM

Okay i've finished hanging my decorations and once they settle in i think the fish will have the best Xmas tree on the reef....... i still need to add some more presents under the tree as the clown is already sulking after the yellow tang claimed the stylo........

As to what happens in the future when they all start bluing over space - i don't ever consider future ramifications of my acro actions otherwise i wouldn't do half the stuff i do with my SPS........

Wills612 · 11/17/2013, 11:43 PM

I told my wife we needed more ornaments for the tree, she got suspiciously excited. Then I showed her your tree and she started laughing and agreed. Thanks for humoring my wife into some new pieces.

sahin · 11/18/2013, 07:52 AM

That looks pretty COOL Biggles! I likey very much.

Reef Bass · 11/18/2013, 08:27 AM

Creative idea. Beautiful corals. Nicely done.
