Cool, sounds way more intense than my tank (sheesh and I thought I went all out ). What other livestock do you have plans for(fish and corals)?

My froggy is gorgeous.

Hard question Leslie...

I got the actual tank December 25th of last year.

In other words...a looong looong time...but mostly due to money factors...aka, i'm on a teenage budget. Lol.

I've been looking around for inverts a lot lately.

I found this...

For $20.35 (that would be shipping cost, Priority Mail 2-3 days) I can have...

15 Nassarius Vibex Snails
5 Red Tiped Hermits
5 Cerith Snails
2 Large Margarita Snails

Is that worth buying or no?

I live in New York.

Chances he'll be able to find the fish are slim to none, but I appreciate you asking.

It's the only fish I'm really going to have trouble finding for my tank.

Ferretfish- Where do you live? There is a LFS in my hometown that told me he coudl get jsut abotu any fish there is for me. I will ask him if he can possibly get a hold of them, or if he knows anyone that can get them for you.


I knwo you said they are very hard to get so I may be wrong in saying that he can get them, but the company he gets his livestock through has a contract with him and they deal solely with him, so there might be hope?

Good luck at finding those guys though. I am more than willing to help you find whatever you need for your tank, now whether I can get it to you is a different story We will have to see. You have helped me so much all ready I feel liek I owe you lol

I thought this was going to be an SPS tank? All I see listed are LPS. LOL. And watch that "froggie" of yours, as it will indeed attack any SPS it comes in contact with. Where are your sun polyps? I can't see them in any pics?

The sun polyps are a tiny tiny frag on the left side of the tank, that haven't been doing the greatest because with gymnastics season my life was pretty hectic and I didn't have much time to target feed.

It will be an SPS tank. I have the birdsnest...and yes, I know the froggie has sweepers. No worries, I've done my research.

Liana, you should have come down for our auction a couple weeks ago. There was a ton of SPS that went through. All very nice frags, some larger sized corals, went for great prices. Most of the frags went for under $5 each. While a 12 inch birds nest pink with purple tips, went for $35.

I wish. Just send me a plane ticket and I'm there!

I can't wait for the Spring auction to get some SPS for my nano. It will be up and running by then. If it ever comes in, lol. Getting a 22gal cube with a 70watt 14k Pheonix in it.

Cool cool...I like 14K's. I hate my 10K's. I'll be replacing them soon enough. Maybe soon we can send e/o frags.

Ill find them....it might take a couple years, but Ill find them

Couple years...?

I still have a couple other people to call, including Karl at SDC, and a couple of brokers/cherry pickers. Dont lose hope and settle yet

Last I heard SDC didn't have them...but that was a couple of months ago now. I appreciate your efforts and I hope they pay off. You sure you dont mind doing this?

Yep...

My favorite one.

I fell in love with it a couple months ago...about January I'd say Nate?

Unfortunately, it's very hard to find. It's a very precious and special fish...rarely seen in the trade. I dont know anyone who has them around here.

Just what in the heck are you two going on about? I bet it's some type of Anthias. I think I *might* know the species, if it's the one that gets mentioned in Chat from time to time.
