If you click thru starting with that photo and just use the >> arrows.

Overall I am happy with what I got. I would order from jeff's again and I would also not hesitate to order from the 9 for 99 again. This would be an even sweeter deal if I was fortune enough to live close by jeff's so as I could visit there and not only hand pick my 9 for 99 but also since I would not have to pay shipping.

My christmas tre rock has the crabs too they filter feed with their antennas if yo watch closely in the right light you can see the fine hairs for catching food. That's why they wave them around all day heh.

Here is an update as of tonight.

The brain coral did not make it Im not sure why all I know is over the last week it showed a bleaching of color so I moved it to another tank and that did not help it at all.

The two leather corals are not happy in this photo because I had to move them to do some tank cleaning prior to the photos.

Love the christmas tree rock.

There is no doubt. Zoos for sure. Looks great!! The porites are doing well, as well as the Christmas tree worms. How about some pics of the leathers when they are happy?

mind giving another update? I just drove to Jeff's otoday and bought 120 lbs of live rock! I plan on doin the 9 for 99$ deal once i have a properly cycled tank{ima noooob}. one ood note about Jeff's I told him I setup my tank 2 weeks ago and am waiting for it to cycle. he told me he doesnt wish to sell me any fish until the tank is ready....and recommended a few methods of speeding up the process.

Most stores would just want the quick$ but Jeff seems to care about his fish. Jeff was a really nice guy I will buy again anytime

Well lets see. The Portes is about the same as it was when i got it. The color might have shifted some from green to brown but the xmas tree worms are still there in full force.

The button polyps for some reason have taken a decline. Im not sure why.

The various mushrooms I got are doing well and multiplying.

The green star plyps are really doing well as well as the yellow leather.

A few of the corals like the open brain I lost for unknown reasons a few weeks after I got them. I would say those that I did lose where due to inproper conditions on my end.

Its always nice to see when a retailer will turn a sale away when they feel the customers tank is not ready for what they want to buy.

Yes this is nice to hear... there are a few stores here that will sell you a brand new tank, 5 fish, corals, LR and Sand together with a can of bio-zyme and tell you to dump the sand, place the rock, fill the tank, put in the bio-zyme, and place the corals and fish in the tank and your done..PMO..
