That's weird. I thought Rural king didnt ship freight they ship ups?

ups freight or r&l freight likely

ups freight or r&l freight likely

From what I researched people say Rural King worked out a deal to ship them ups and they are the cheapest place to buy them from because of it. Pretty much every other place you buy them from (unless you can buy local) you have to pay freight that is as expensive as the containers.
Where are you having them shipped to?

I just went to google and searched "rural king 100 gallon vertical container" and right up at the top the second add over is the rural king 100g vertical flat top containers. If you scroll over the add with the mouse it says "Free shipping, no tax".

Hope that helps

 

[monkiboy]

thank you. I was adding the 105 gallon container which does not apply. the 100g does apply and I saw the free shipping option. only certain containers are free shipping it seems. thanks for the effort.

In the picture with the McCosker wrasse. I'm guessing that is a female McCosker below him correct? Also what is the other wrasse on the right side?

The big one is actually a Carpenters Wrasse and the little one is the Blackfin MCcosker both males. They are very similar but also have some differences, once the little one grows up a bit it will become a little more defined color/pattern wise and it will be a little easier to differentiate. On the right side that is a Royal Flasher Wrasse male, very elegant looking fish. Let me see if I can find another good photo of that one.

Gorgeous build and tank. Following.

With it being so orange instead of red I thought it was a McCosker

Corals mounted to the rocks. Need to do some clean up on the pumps and a few different things but its a starting point. Dont mind the nori feeder, it was feeding time 10 mins before this was taken and I forgot to pull the feeder for the photo

Looking great!

Thanks!

Question for everyone, how much food is enough for a group of fish this size? All the tangs are pretty good size and good eaters. Been doing 2 cubes of sfb mysis a day with about 3 small pinches of nls 1mm pellets mixed in, then the auto feeders are set to feed 3 times per day and each time they dump about 3 medium sized pinches. Also the tangs get a half a sheet of nori per day minimum, and I have been doing a full sheet since we put the powder blue in there to keep everyone happy. Everyone seems to clean up all the food each time we feed, and theres never anything left over,

What are some opinions on feeding amounts?

 

[A_CoupleClowns]

Just fed them and timed it food is gone in 1 minute.
