Nice. Good call dipping, you never can be too sure you arent introducing a bad thing to your tank. Thats how I got flatworms awhile ago. :-( Also good idea to thoroughly inspect them as well, I let a single aipastia into my tank from a coral and it went crazy and I had thousands, no exaggeration, within a year.

Make sure to get some good phots, I love to see people new stuff.

There are a few here in Phoenix.... Aquatouch is a great store but a little high on price.... There is aquarium arts that's a great store and another small store is club reef they have really good prices.... But I spend the extra money and go to Aquatouch just because how they qt there live stock.... But all 3 are good stores

What's a low light sps? Almost all require at least moderate to intense light

 

[rob_mango]

Ok let me rephrase that..... Sps on the lower light spectrum....

So i went to petco today to pick up dog food..... As i was there i saw they had saltwater fish.... So i went to check them out.... I saw a neon dottyback and i fell in love with the colors..... So i went ahead and got it.... I know some people wont get fish there but this stores system looked amazing.... Clean and clear did mot see any sick fish or any thing..... He is sitting in my qt tank for right now..... But i feel it should make it.... Just glad i found this little guy for a great price..... 18.99.... Every where i have seen was closer to 50 bucks for this guy.....
