You can come take any of my zoas you want. I'll share.

I was stocked up with several zoas a few weeks ago. Had to help a friend figure out why her tank was bleaching and she hooked me up with some zoas a ricordia and even a few sps.

Now there are still a few zoas that I'd like to collect. Darth Mauls, Yodas, utter chaos, blue hornets, rastas, nirvanas... ok more than a few, the list goes on and on.

Update!!!

It's been a little while. The tank is still doing well. Getting parameters dialed in now that I have the BRS pharma chemicals. Pretty sure I have alk all set, just getting Ca and Mg up to where they need to be.

The two rocks that were in the holding tank with the fish continue to grow GHA. I'll be ordering a big cuc hopefully soon. They should knock out that algae and the chaeto can grow instead of the hair algae. The rest of the tank remains algae free.

We also purchased a few corals in the Joe Knows Reefs live sale on Saturday. My friend and I split shipping, so I have her corals in my tank until I go over next time to swap out sumps. She got a Trigger ruby to replace the factory SCA sump. More room in the stand and hopefully be able to remove the skimmer. Going to be fun draining a running 150, removing center supports and swapping a sump out.

New corals, mine first!!!

Nice quality on those pics! You didn't take them with your phone, did you?

Impressive!

Have you been happy with Joe Knows Reefs?

Beyond.

Super healthy corals, pest free and good prices... not to mention Joey is a great guy and a pleasure to do business with. Oh, candy in the box is a bonus too. Lol.

Hmm.. I may have to give him a try, although he looks a bit tapped out after the live sale.

To be honest, his website is a bit understocked... way more in store. You can always call and see what is in stock. I just message on Facebook.

He also has weekly auctions(unless there is a big show or holding a live sale that week) on Facebook that are posted on Wednesday afternoon and close at different times Friday night. Usually 20-30 corals up for grabs every week.
