I bought $800 worth of corals for $100.
Okay — $168. Plus $50 shipping. So $218 all-in for five frags valued at $826 retail. Still kind of insane.
The box showed up 3+ hours late in 108° heat and I was sure everything was cooked. It wasn't. In this video I unbox all five frags from Pieces of the Ocean, break down what each one goes for at retail versus what I actually paid, and get everything (including the POTO Kingdom Hearts) settled into the 12 gallon.
The numbers:
• 5 POTO frags: $168
• Overnight shipping: $50
• Total out of pocket: $218
• Retail value: $826
That's the whole point of this channel — showing exactly what this hobby really costs.

I could be completely wrong. Thats ok too. More power to them if they truly sale a lot of corals for their original priced prices.
Great episode. Cant wait to see the bigger tank set up.
