any spikes?

[cocoa_pleco]

just one quick question.

some guy here has a major coral frag farm, and will sell me corals cheap. he has kenyi tree coral for $15, and toadstools 2 for $15. he has about 30 species total

since i can get them so cheap, i want to get around $200 worth, meaning about 10 corals at once.

would there be any deadly spikes in my water quality from adding so many at once?

[cocoa_pleco]

this is gonna suck, i have to meet up with her, probably 10am since i work at 1pm. heres her message

-----------------------------------------------------------

I am from Lloydminser, but I am coming into the city on Saturday. Could you
meet up with me at Big Al's or something? I do have several other frags and
mini-colonies. Most are Softies and SPS. Let me know what you are after.

Here are a few that I have on hand:

Anthelia @ $15 (small) or $20 (medium)
Metallic Green Star Polyp @ $15 (small)
Cabbage Leather @ $15 (small)
Brown Moon Polyps @ $20 (medium)
Protopalythoa @ $15 (small) or $20 (large)
Kenya Tree @ $15 (medium)
Toadstool Leather @ $15 (small) or $25 (large)
Green Zoanthid rock @ $25 (3x3 inch)
Umbrella Leather @ $15 (small)
Bullseye Mushroom @ $15 (small)

I also have a few couple of LPS and SPS frags:

Red Millepora: $20 frag; $25 mini-colony
Green Millepora: $20 frag; $25 mini-colony
Blue Millepora: $15 frag
Green Montipora digitata: $15 frag; $25 mini colony; $45 colony
Orange Montipora digitata: $15 frag
Purple Montipora digitata: $15 frag
Green Cactus (Pavona): $25 mini-colony
Tri-color Nana Acropora: $20 frag; $35 mini-colony

I have more, but just cannot recall at this time.

I also have cured live rock (Haiti, Selembu, Tonga Branch and Tonga Shelf) @
$6.00/pound

Thanks

i told her which ones i want.

shes pressed for time, so if she cant meet me at big als at 9am she will greyhound it to me. Lloydminister is only a 2 hour trip and she will heat pack the corals.

[cocoa_pleco]

ive got it sorted out. she wont be here until the afternoon so tuesday shes shipping the corals with a heatpack

I don't think that is that great of a deal. I can get that stuff around here for the same prices. Why add 200 worth? How about 100?

[cocoa_pleco]

i want to get as much as i can. here the stores jack up the prices because their stock is so healthy, but she sells them in perfect condition for cheap

the kenya tree coral online averaged for about $50 so i got some of those too.

[cocoa_pleco]

i sent her a current list of what i want. she is sending a far larger list than the small one i posted before. so far im at one of each of these-

-metallic green star polyp
-kenya tree
-small toadstool
-bullseye mushroom
-brown moon polyp
-blue millepora frag
-green zoa rock
-small anthelia

[gm72]

Can't wait to see some of this stuff!

[cocoa_pleco]

Me either! i want the polyps and kenyas to take over most of my tank


EDIT- and i added a umbrella leather coral to my list, so without shipping im at $150

[cocoa_pleco]

its all good. i wire the money tomorrow and the corals go through a 3 hour busride with a heatpack on tuesday, and will be here at 530pm.

the one thing i hope is that this isnt a scammer, i have enough faith that they wouldnt stoop that low

[Ark6ie]

cant wait for pics cocoa :c10:

[cocoa_pleco]

i'll get pics right after i get them!

[cocoa_pleco]

and i dont think its a scam, she seems nice and knows what shes talking about. if it is a scam though i will be madder than he11 being screwed over by $200

[cocoa_pleco]

i added some more LR today too, 20lbs. i got a larger paycheck than i expected so i got the $6/lb sale price (sale ends today).

im ready for the corals too, the skimmers going full on and all is good. When i added the LR a piece fell and almost burst the tank, but luckily its fine. heres how it looks with about 80lbs LR (cant remember exactly, theres probably more, probably 100lbs)

and the store had a holiday sale, these REALLY tall 66g high's with overflow for $200, almost bought one

That's not bad, I am getting green kenya trees frags for $10 and green nepthea for $20.
I joined a reef club in connecticut so everyone just sells frags real cheap. Next month the guy is getting me a maze brain. I can't wait. Like I said I just picked up a candy cane frag and a green closed brain. I love them.
I also am going to pick up a torch coral next week. I kind of like SPS now.

[cocoa_pleco]

nice! i found a bunch of people here who trade frags, as soon as mine get settled im going to frag them.

im going to see tuesday how well the corals ship from her, and if its good i'll get another $200 batch of corals from her in a month

the stores here also got shipments of corals from australia, and theyre awesome

[cocoa_pleco]

and in regards to the LR im happy with the amount i have, i think all i need is a large 5lb piece where the tang is in the pic

[cocoa_pleco]

after waiting for what seems like forever they will be here in exactly 24 hours!
