i saw the cross in our pic and i was like hey ther from oklahoma, and sure enough you are, where do you shop, its always nice to see others from this great state

Baby B,
I shop at all 3 LFS in Ardmore, I prefer the Coral Reef on Washington, but Ardmore Aquarium on 12th is a good store too. Both owners are great guys and go outa their way to help. The other one is ma and pa pets and I have never bought SW livestock from them, but did get some fw and my wifes bird there.
I have done business with a few in OKC just not in a long time.
P.S. You know where that cross is and associated with OKLA.?

Coral looks great. I remember how happy I was when I got my first one.

I added a few more corals yesterday. A friend at work was clearing some space in his 180 and offered me first dibs before he took them to the LFS.
Xenia with a single green metalllic hairy mushroom on a rock.( please don't rip me about them being "weeds", IMO the're one of the coolest corals and I am more than willing to invest the time to control them)
A frag of green star polyps
and a really big tonga mushroom
Also got a big patch of encrusting yellow polyps from the LFS
Hopefully I can post pics soon!

Very nice candy coral... I wish mine looked that good (I have three little green stalks).
My first coral was a Kenya Tree which died when my buddy bombed my tanks looking after them

Now my new Kenya won't stop growing and I can't seem to frag it fast enough!
