Sshhh....I'm working !
I was a bit hesitant ordering the corals sight unseen, but since I haven't seen nice ones locally, I took a chance. Very pleasantly surprised! With the exception of the ricordea, all of the corals were much nicer than expected. The zoos were supposed to be 25+ polyps according to the description.... there is at least 130 on the rock!!! The yellow polyps were much more than expected. The ricordea is a little midget, but he was only $7.99, so I can't be too disappointed and I'm sure it will grow quickly.
MJ ordered a bunch of snails... cerith, nassers, and turbos. I warned her that when I received mine, they were pretty tiny but grow quickly. All of her snails came in decent sized as well.
Gool luck on your order. Isn't it a great rush...when you spot that Fed Ex truck turn the corner block from your house and your begins to race as he pulls into your driveway?

Seriously....me too! I put my 4 new corals in Wednesday and I'm fighting the urge to hit Bill's for a nice green star polyp he has. Lord help me!
I thought it was bad when I used to hit a good shoe sale and had to smuggle shoes into the house....at least those I could hide in the closet. When you pull them out a few months later and the husband asks are those new shoes, you can honestly "Nah...these old things...I've had them for a while".
Where do you hide a gorgonian until you can slip it discreetly into the tank and pretend its been there for weeks?

and yea its fun to enjoy the color of a reef tank and sinc eim maxed out with my aggressive tank all ic and o is watch them grow , but with reef theres always new corals to buy!!

my tanks are in my basement as well so air temp wouldnt be an issue for me either, I just assumed that the halides would require a chiller.
you have given me hope.
keep up the good work

well there are fans in the halides that help a bit, but like i said as you would know my basement stays around 62 degrees so its nice and cool . the halides with no heater make it a perfect 79 without any adjustments..
and actually in the winter i have to turn my heater on because the tank temp drops about 3-4 degrees
