I'm looking to find anyone in the Rockford, IL area that has a reef tank and wants to talk, trade, buy or sell corals. I live in Freeport and have only met only a handful of reefers in the area. So, anyone with a tank to show or advice to give, feel free to drop me a message. I always enjoy seeing other tanks and I always have a coral to trade. Happy reefin, Shawn.
 
I live in Naperville, IL but all i have to trade but a dieing mushroom coral and and a dominoe damsel that wont leave the other fish in the tank alone
 
I have several things to trade/sell. Several SPS coral frags, soft corals, frogspawns, mushrooms, polyps, clams, plants and live rock. I am going to try and thin things out a little before I move in the spring, so I am more than willing to sell if a person doesn't have anything to trade.
 
SHowald, I might be interested in some of your softies. I'm in Savanna, IL. I've only got a 38 that's getting a little full but I wouldn't mind seeing what you have, if you're offering some good deals. I'd be interested in your frogspawns and other softies. You don' t need a turbo snail or any crabs do you? I got 5 turbos for my tank not realizing how large they are and how much they move. I've got some zoanthids I could trade besides the snails and crabs, but I could also throw in cash. I'd also consider cutting a piece of my pulsing xenias if you're interested. They'll probably grow out of control anyway. I might consider trading you a harlequin star if you wanted one too. Let me know. Maybe you could e-mail me some pics/ prices/offers. Thanks.

I just cut some yellow finger leather frags and a kenya tree frag. I have some small frogspawn frags. Some small toadstools. Prices would really vary because I have a ton of different sizes and other corals also. It would be easiest to tell you over the phone or show you in person rather than doing a mile long response here. I will trade or sell depending on the deal. Send me a phone number or I can give you mine. I will try and get some photos up also. Thanks for the interest, Shawn.
 
My sister lives in Sycamore. Let me know if I can be of any help along the way. If you need live rock or anything else let me know I have plenty of extra goodies to get a guy started and I would be much cheaper than the pet store.
 
Sweet, thanks SHowald72, that would be awesome! I will definitely keep you on my buddy list...thanks man!
 
I live in lombard I would like to know if their are any local frag meets,I would like to learn about as well as raise hard corals.
 
hello there s howald i live in rockford and have a reef tank or two i am always in the market for advice and livestock, give me a shout when you can . merry christmas a.huxman
 
Hey ahuxman, a little xmas advice, "Don't eat the yellow snow!" You want livestock and I have plenty of it to sell ya. I can shout right now, "Aaaaaaa........!" All this eggnog is making me a comedian tonight. Well, seasons greetings all.
 
Hey Shawn. How's it going man? Everything I got from you is doing great. The frogspawns are really taking off. Everything's grown quite a bit and doing well. The GSP's and the candy cane are about the same but doing good.

I may be interested in a few more small corals pretty soon. It's getting full but I've got a couple more spots for stuff. I wish I would have bought more!

I just got a nice colt coral and a nice sized whitish-peach colored finger leather from the pet shop in the QC. Christmas gift certificate.
I might come up and get some more stuff from you this month some time. Just let me know a good weekend.
Happy new year.
Later.
Scott
 
I'm glad to hear everything is doing great. I will be around pretty much all month on the weekends. Since you last stopped, I have got some really nice softies from a friend that are pretty big that I am looking to move if you are interested. Look forward to seeing you soon, Shawn.
