I'm always down for trades May-September. IMO it's probably the best way to get nice corals, especially when your trading with someone in fl , you guys seem to have a nicer selection than we do in the Midwest.

It's skin is a real light green, with dark green polyps. Starting to color up nicely

I think because it's we have the keys down here and we have the reefs so it's easy to get new species and such. It's hard to find an LFS who knows how to get good selection in though..

Very true, and we can't exactly go diving for specimens here in Lake Michigan :p. And for good selection, just do what bribo did and get a girl who lives down the street from PEA

Haha that was genius move on Bribos part. We can't exactly go on top of the third largest building in the world either. When I went to Chicago in 2012 I didn't check out any LFS, regretting that now.

I used to live in Chicago, and now regret never setting up a reef tank there. There are about 10 great LFS in the area last time I visited. Anyone ever heard of the old town reef shop in Chicago?

I've heard of it, but haven't been there. I frequent the ones in burbs, but there's a couple in the city I really want to get to.

Gotcha. There's one out near o'hare that had some pretty nice zoos (red hornets and "epileptic"), I visited it a few months ago. Pretty sure it's called the coral reef center.

Btw, do you ever supplement the ric garden, any frozen foods or pellets? I fed my single orange Yuma brine along with the fish and sexys for a few weeks, but stopped to cut down on unnecessary feeding.

Amazing Rastas btw!

She's overnighting them tomorrow, so unless fedex screws up they'll be here Friday. I still can't believe I'm getting 3p of both the Rastas for $10, Claya may be my new best friend

I don't feed any softies honestly, but I do feed my stony corals, I know its not necessary but I honestly think it helps. Don't know if I would in a 3g though, so that's really up to you. And thanks, I can't wait to get them, I see some rescaping in my future some time next week

Under gravel filters and wether they work came up in another thread and I'm going to post this here too because as I read it again it reminds me how much admire his passion/creativity he puts into this hobby.

Any one seen these before? The name scares me, but I want them anyway :p

They look like a clown goby, move like an angler, but are really a scorpion fish. How cool is that

I got a package!!!!!!
[/URL][/IMG]

Always a relief when you get a nice dry box. Now math has never been my strong suit but I was supposed to receive 5 frags, and I got 7
[/URL][/IMG]
I don't know where I'm going to put them all, but that may be one of those good problems. And here's the new pep, came out of hiding last night.

Where would you put them though? I'm pretty sure you have less room left than I do.
