What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Doesn't sound like it. The way he talks about it he wants them all to hisself.
Ill send you a tropical depression instead. Less wind/more rain!
 
Popped over to check out the LA changes on website. Saw this on Divers Den. No matter who was selling this one I’d be freaky nervous until getting it

Someone gifted one of these to my LFS. He keeps it in his big reef tank there at the store. The funny thing is he hates it! He says it just eats all the food and hides in the shadows. Give me a $50 wrasse any day!
 
Thanks.

Great but I have ten small Lysmata boggessi coming from ORA tomorrow.

Any idea how much they were going for? Look to be good sized.
I didn't even look. Usually they're marked either $5.99 or $9.99. They were decent sized, and one of them had just molted recently.
 
Amanda I hope you are better. I need to read and catch up. I am actually just at home to acclimate a fish I had figured I was not getting.

My husband ordered from Divers Den, Live Aquaria. I explained he should not expect it after everything I had seen posted about it since last fall. That was last week. Today a healthy 3 inch Pyramid Butterfly fish appeared after notice last night. I still didn't believe it until it showed up. Had to come down off the mountain as soon as I heard it arrived.

In quarantine tank now.
Thank you and yes I am better finally!

Those are good prices. I guess I can take solace in the fact that it would be at least a 3 hour round trip and roughly 124 miles at $4.50 or so a gallon, during rush hour, through downtown Phoenix, during potential storms. I just may pop over there sometime soon just to see the west side Petcos. Avondale isn't THAT far away. Thanks again. I really do want to get over there to a couple of the better Petcos.

I love how pretty it is though

Yes he is definitely a gorgeous fish Weston! And since I dont have to feed him, I'm glad they have him for me to watch! 😆

Just a heads up if I’m awake, and no guarantees as I’m off tonight I was thinking funk/soul music tonight
 
I need a few opinions on berghia (I know...)

Salty under ground is selling 20 berghia for $165 shipped. The only down side is they are only 1/4 inch. Do you guys think that size could do some damage in large numbers? The ones I had from reefenginer were massive and 10 of them cleared my tank pretty quickly.

I would think they would need to grow before they would do the damage you are looking for. Have you tried Reeftown? I bought some decent sized ones there that gotter done a few years ago.
