ok guys,
i think i want to get rid of my corals and just stay with fish only tanks.
if any one is interested in buying some corals, please let me know.
JUST CORALS and nothing else. i am not in a hurry, but trying to sway away from it. is too much work for me to up keep. Fish only is soo much easier.
here's what i have
bubble coral
pulsating xenia,
pink carnation (very nice, but difficult restricted species)
button polyps
yellow polyps
devils hand Leather
green flower pot
yellow star polyps
frogspawn
let me know if you are interested and make me an offer

Junbug - advice needed. I just bought a 55 with normal lighting that came with aquarium. Not ready to splurge on the appropriate lighting just yet. Will any of the polyps you have to sell be ok with this low lighting?

polyps in my experience need high lighting. if i place my low they wont open as much, but if near the top they are fully open. some people may have a difference in opinion.
but my button polyp opens rather easy in lower lighting, but yellow polyp or star polyps is picky
what kind of lights you have now?
good rule of thumb at least 3watts per gallon

i don't know if any of you know about this but we all use them.
you can buy 200gal instant ocean salt from petsmart.com onsale for $28 sumthing plus shipping. and if you order 2 and use this code ship4free, you pay about $3 shipping cost for 2 buckets. i ordered (2) 200gal bucket plus shipping for $60 sumthing. however they are on back order, so order fast while they are still on sale.
just an FYI
Also if any of you are looking for waterpumps. I found this local guy in lake forest selling water pumps for cheap on ----. (brandnew). good for those of you needing it for fuge or sump or whatever.
he has a website www.x.com. his name is albert. i bought 4 pumps last nite (2) rated 600gph and (2) 380gph for a total of $81
very nice guy, but lives in the boonies. lol
