Today I picked up a couple zoo rocks for mah tank. I went to one fish store that had gotten a decently sized shipment of zoos in and managed to pick up a really brightly colored orange/yellow zoo rock for $28 dollars and then went to another store and seen a piece that I couldnt take my eyes off.. I asked the lady how much it was and she said it was $59.99! (so I took it home) The 59 dollar one has VERY bright orange/green zoos covering it and like 4 blue mushrooms.. I was kinda upset at myself that I spent so much.. but you think thats a bad deal? I was desperate for some nice zoa's! ;)

in my opinion no price is too high.it is what you are willing to pay to have stuff that is nice to look at.is it possible that reef tanks are pricey and priceless at the same time?lol

It's priceless, because if you didn't buy em' you'd be sitting at home thinking about it kicking yourself in the rear, and by the time you convinced yourself to buy them and you got back to the store, and guess what???? There GONE.... and your kicking yourself again!!!!!! : :)

Frag em...sell em...get you money back AND have the zoos!!
Seriously though, IMO, you either want them or you don't. And if you do then after your purchase, don't look back. Don't think about how much you spent cause your gonna drive yourself crazy. If you had to put the

on hold for corals then shame on you, but if it was just spending money then I think you spent it wisely!!

Yesterday after my zoos purchase I decided I wouldnt spend any more on my tank for at least a month.... then today I went to another LFS and seen a small piece of star polyps that had fallen off the main rock and asked how much he'd take for it.. he said 10 bucks.. I said nah! he said 7 dollars... I said nah sorry... then I said how about 5 bucks? he said yeah I can do that.. =c( I think I have a problem.
Is there a FTA? (Fish Tank Annonymous)

well if you feel bad, look at it this way... this site sells 7 blue mushrooms for 50 bucks.... and you got 4 as well as a bunch of awsome colored zoos!! Pluuuusss.... once they spreadn and mulitpy you can sell frags to the fish store where you bought them and actualy make a profit.
and also, i bet they are georgious.... i feel realy realy realy guilty about spending a lot of money, jsut not on my tanks :p Im realy realy realy excited to do so actualy!
