How did I miss this thread?

Can they be made with larger holes? Tang size?

Doni I have no idea! But the thought of YOU missing a thread (especially one of MINE) cracks me up! It's not like it's a NEW thread!!

I don't know. I'll leave a message with the plant Manager right now and see. How TALL of a hole do you need in one?

Over where you left me the note I think you could use them under something but you can't use them AS the support. They aren't designed to carry any load other than a smaller reef ball and some additional corals. If the things you wanted to put over the Reef Ball were "self supporting" you'd be good to go. Otherwise I wouldn't attempt it

Woodstock · 02-08-2008, 10:41 AM

4" hole would work well.

BigAl07 · 02-19-2008, 02:13 PM

HEy Doni! I got word back from the factory. They can't make the existing ball's holes bigger (current mold wont allow for it) but they do have a larger version called

"oyster ball"

if the tank is large enough.....we have a ball that has bigger holes....its 9" tall 17" wide...weighs about 40 lbs

What do you think?

Frankie · 02-19-2008, 04:41 PM

Send it to me. I can make them holes bigger.

Here's the beginning of a Reef Ball/Zoa garden. A locel reefer did this to one of his Reef Balls. Can't wait to watch it grow in.

JWarren · 02-23-2008, 05:42 PM

I bet that will look really nice all covered in zoas!

Are you making these Al or are you getting them somewhere else?

PM me some details if you get time.

BigAl07 · 02-23-2008, 09:29 PM

I'm "Getting" them bro!! and using them in all of my tanks as well. I'll shoot you a PM shortly
