looking for frags

[jwalker314]

just got new lighting and a calcium reactor, ready to get some nice corals going. anyone have any frags locally they want to give/sell? i dont care how small just want to add some variety to my tank.
i have 3 250watt 10ks haldies and two 110 tru actinic VHOs on my 125 gal, so i should be able to handle a good chunk of corals.


thanks.

-John

Hey John, Glad to hear you have the tank up and running. Do you have any pics of the progress of the build or just some tank shots online? I would like to check them out. Shawn

ill post some pics later today when i get home.
recent purchases include:

Ocean Reef +2 RO/DI unit
50lbs marco rocks
Deltec AP851 Skimmer
Mag 9.5 (feed for skimmer)
3 PFO 250 Watt MH Pendants
2 110Watt VHOs with ice cap 660

I think that's it so far, ill get some pics up soon, as far as corals go, i have some zoos and some mushrooms as well as GSP, they were all originally $2 frags from Something Fishy.

I'd really like a torch coral if anyone can sell me a frag.

thanks

What kind of coral you looking for? Sps lps softies? I have a big chunk of pink birdsnest and I'll have a bunch of different kinds of zoes in a week or so. I also have some rose millipora and tri color validia. I have a few others I can frag but can't think right now

Pretty much all I have in the tank now are some brown and some green mushrooms...Gsp....and some brown zoos. So anything new will do. I have enough lighting for just about anything. Just let me know pics nd pricing...I'd prefer smaller frags if they will be cheaper. Excuse any mispellings...I'm writing from my cell

If your just starting with sps ( if thats the route you are going ) start with some monties, birdsnest, and like a green slimer, or some kind of easy to start acro's. You will end up saving yourself some cash by not killing them. I know from experience,

 

[jwalker314]

is there a reason i should specifiy on sps or lps, can i sucessfully have a mixture of both? also they are 160watt VHOs not 110...my mistake. But i hear ya on starting with easy ones, id like to start small for that reason too, plus i get to watch them grow in my tank, basically anyone with a few bucks can buy huge corals, but not everyone can grow them huge from tiny frags.

You can have both no problem.

Sorry for not replying sooner. Crazy hours at work. I'll try and get pics and prices to you tonight. I'll cut you some nice pieces for cheap
