Definitely check out Gulf Coast, when I say I was blown away it's no exaggeration. They tightly double bag everything and into the normal styro box and it was all lush and healthy!

Waiting only on availability to be honest. I'm dead set on barbouri and they are extremely hard to come by captive bred these days. 3 pairs will cost me roughly $900 but they are worth it to me. *shrug*
Hard to put a price on happiness plus the smile they will put on your face is worth a few dollars

The sponge came from Gulf Coast too, $10 or $12 bucks, a steal if you ask me! Extremely healthy but I have a terrible track history with sponges. Seems they always slowly die off. I'm getting some sponge specific foods this time to try one last time to keep it alive.
I was wrong, checked their website this morning and it only cost $8 bucks... More than a steal.

Sorry ya'll! Got busy after I took the pictures and forgot to update. Oops. lol

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy my GHA garden/seahorse tank. I've added a UV sterilizer to the tank running about 130 GPH, a couple more leather corals, feather duster and a pair of cardinals.

The plan is to continue scrubbing the HA as much as I can on a more regular basis, I'm definitely guilty on slacking recently. The ugly phase marches on. Hopefully things will be looking much better come spring when the seahorses will be available!

I loooove firefish, I dont love their propensity for carpet surfing. My fire fish jumped out of the back of the canopy when I wasnt home. Found him dead on the floor behind the tank. :(

Still considering another though. We'll see.
