do/have/ or would you???

[jrthomas40]

do you/ have you or would buy coral off of dday?? just wondering i was lookin there and seem some pretty cool stuff

 

[reefkprz]

depends on three factors. what the coral is. price. and seller reputation. yes I have bought of their before. almost never but I have before. may again.

i am really lookin for some live plankton or rotifers...since i cant seem to grow the brine shirmp i have..but some of those zoos seem interesting

 

[reefkprz]

i wouldnt buy live plankton. the problem is if its not refrigerated it goes from a useable micron size to too big for usefullness really quick. on dday who knows, the feedback may be great but the people buying it arent measuring micron size. thats what counts when it comes to plankton. they are giving feedback on dealing with the other person. as far as phyto plankton goes if some one mailed it to me on a warm day, if wasnt sent in a refrigerated truck i would dump it down the drain before putting it in my tank.

i really want to grow the stuff my self but dont really know how or where to get a start from..i think it would be cool to do it myself

 

[trippkid]

Yeah, I only have bought coral(frags) from there, very pleased though with the guy(s) I have dealt with. Don't know about the live food though, I'd go with what Reefkeeprz said.

Good luck

yeah i was a bit iffy on buying the live food but not when it supposedly comes from a repituable place...once there was an aquaculture program selling it and i thought it might be ok then but never did and dont see much that i trust on there now...i also need some live copepods as i dont have any that survived the crash...

There is a fellow in Alabaster,Al that grows and sells the phyto. I do not know how much he sells it for. Pm me your email addy and I could pass it on to him.
