I think I want to try my hand at a RFA with my pico tank! Instead of ordering one online I figured I would check in the Tuscaloosa/Birmingham area to see if anyone has some available. Not picky Just wanna try a cheap one. Honestly the smaller the better as this pico doesn't have a ton of room.

I saw a rock flower or 2 at the Reef life store in Birmingham if no one has anything they want to sell at this time. They also have some bubble tips that aren't huge. Maybe someone has some they need to thin out though.

Well there's really only 2 and I prefer reef life. Aquarium imports is closer to you technically bc its in Hoover but they always seem to be lacking fish when I go in there. The owner tells me I'm there on the wrong days. But I won't say anything bad about either. But I haven't seen anything you'd want there let's put it that way. Make the extra 15 min drive to the other when you have time.

They don't really answer their phone. They do text messages off it. Its weird. I would try to get in touch with them on Thursday. Reeflifeaquariums.com you can check out the website they don't really upgrade the coral section on the website but there's a list every couple days of their shipments of things. You can also contact them from the website as well. I forgot to look for the RFA when I was their Saturday I did get a hammer though. Good luck

Thanks! What type of hammer you get? Against my original plan I may end up putting a frag of hammer and frogspawn in the pico and maybe a few of my favorite chalices I gotta see how much more work it would be. So far I don't really do anything lol

And I got an interesting hammer from them not a clue what it is. It is maroon/light purple with silver tips and very long polyps. Almost Frammer like.

They have a couple Marshall island hammers and a couple neon green torches right now. I went to get a fish and left with coral last Saturday. I think I'm going to have them order me 2 fish instead.

They do take trades. I think it just depends on what they want and what you have. But they definitely do trades for store credit.
