They all started fairly small, but with lots of light and good water quality they are loving it. Thanks for the replies.

I buy most of my stuff local, I buy my salt online from the drs site, I use Red Sea Coral Pro and my local lfs doesn't stock that brand. The local lfs is a great place to go, unlike many that you hear about, the owner Jim and his wife Judy are very knowledgable and would rather give you good sound advise than to sell you something that isnt going to work. The name of the store is JJ's Reef and Aquarium. Jim also has very good prices and takes very good care of his livestock, most of his prices are cheaper than anywhere online and you dont have to pay shipping.

JJ's Reef also ships livestock to people too, so if you are looking for something interested let me know. I can give you his email and phone number or let you know if they have it.
