Most seemed high… but $200 for a Red Sea AIO… makes me wonder what kind of condition it’s in… especially with an ATO and return pump.
If ad is legit and did not appear to be

What does this even mean... What's a "drago"? Also, love that the Apex is 3000$ but they're selling a captive bred regal for 200$. This seems almost AI generated to me. Weird wording and bizarre prices...

I believe they meant dragon. Which is an irresponsible thing to ship. Cardboard is far too flammable

I can’t stand when someone tries to rip someone off. Like trying to sell used equipment for more than new.

Any way to prevent new members from PM’ing? Or is there already? I’ve had a couple scam PM’s so far. They’re skimming the WTB section and sending replies based on what you are looking for.

We already have a measure in place to prevent brand new members with no posts from pming. We also have a number of other measures in place in the software to help guard against it, but it seems regardless of how many precautions we take, some of these still come through.
