nxb161 said:I don't know about the neon pineapple tree but I see it is in the same family of the Kenya Tree. The kenya tree some people will say is invasive. Mine has dropped a branch and a new one has grown from it. I've fragged mine on purpose because I like it. In a 10G that might be an issue is this acts the same. Leathers, most polyps, and mushrooms should be fine. Leathers will grow and easily trimmed back if it gets too big. Too bad you don't have a local place to sell it to. Mushrooms you can frag as well, some as easily as tearing them from one spot and attaching to another. One will grow from the spot you took it. Not invasive in my opinion.
the live rock is way to expensive could i buy cheap dry rock some where?

The manager of that department asked if I knew where another semi local fish store was since that is where she gets her livestock. That is saying a lot about how she feels about the store.
I looked at craigslist in RI I found some decent corals. When searching craigslist type on aquarium, fish tank, reef, saltwater, frags, clownfish, clown fish, goby, live rock or about anything that has to do with saltwater tanks. If you go with 4 5t lights you could keep any of those. I found some good buys and some that seemed good but really weren't. If you go for a used light find out the type of bulbs and when they were last changed bulbs can run anywhere from 15 to upwards of 60 a piece. The price of a new 10 gallon is about the same as the price of a used one so go new that way you don't have to worry about if they used copper and the silicon absorbed it. Remember the tank is always the cheapest new or used so look around for deals on used items other than the tank.
