Looking for Purple Tang

[Holsteiner]

We're looking for one last addition to our reef tank and we're trying to find a purple tang around our local area (Harrisburg/Hershey area). They have one at TFP and I know they're expensive but I really don't want to spend quite $220.00 on one. If you know or have seen any around the area I would love to finally find one. Thanks! :lol2:

Call Mal at Reef and Tails. I understand he just received a shipment in and he had a purple tang in stock last week for about $125.00 if I remember correctly.

I called and spoke to him a little while ago...such a nice guy we're headed down tomorrow morning to pick up the purple tang.

thanks for the suggestion! I never even knew about him.

How did you make out?

Great! Met Mal and saw his amazing set up (let the fiancee know that's what our basement is going to look like next year when we get our house). Purple tang is about 3.5" and has amazing color. Eats like a pig and settled in right away. He also has a beautiful bigger purple tang but it's in his display tank and not for sale. Couldn't be happier with the guy we picked up, thanks again for the suggestion...it's about an hour away from me but well worth it. Never even knew about him.

There is also another small saltwater store in reading called the reef hut. Kinda small but great prices due to low over head cost.

I'll have to get a list together to check out next time we go back out that way, I have reef hut on there now as well. Unfortunately we live in Hershey so the only saltwater store we really have around here is That Fish Place. Fiancee is thinking about doing his residency next year at Lehigh Valley Hospital....maybe that won't be such a bad thing after all ;-)

Is there a website or address of The Reef Hut? I would like to check it out also when I'm in the neighborhood of Reef & Tails. Thanks in advance.

I was there over the weekend the owner said the website should be live in a few weeks. I found the place on a Craigslist ad for the reading area. It is located by the hospital but don't have the address atm
