OK! Enough chat...Starting a 1000g+ Reef

[jnarowe]

Well, I am sure you are right, but the tank was over-run with them as far as I am concerned...

 

[bleedingthought]

D, how much for the cardinals?

 

[dhnguyen]

They were $16.99 each

Not exactly cheap when you need to buy several.


Or in Jonathan's case about 40 of them

 

[jnarowe]

iF YOU CAN SEX YOURS, THEN MAYBE WE CAN BREED THEM AND SKIP THE WHOLE $16.99.

 

[dhnguyen]

well I have read that they have been known to breed in a captive environment so who knows...

 

[dhnguyen]

AHA I found one place that sell them a little cheaper

http://www.vividaquariums.com/10Expand.asp?ProductCode=01-2013

 

[jnarowe]

I wouldn't risk it for a couple of dollars. The one DOA would negate that savings. Cardinals can be bred...

 

[dhnguyen]

sexing them is another story though

agreed... Only thing is LA doesn't have any in stock now. In fact it's not even on their stock list anymore

I like those dhguyen! Guess I'll have to wait for the next go around

 

[dhnguyen]

Hop-

This place has them in stock. They're no Liveaquaria but they're cheaper too.

Thanks... I'll look into them when I get back. I still have 2 weeks before I have the time/days off to order and be home for any live shipments

 

[jnarowe]

At least you are back at work!

 

[pcostanzo]

Their website looks good. Any experience ordering from them? I do like Live Aquaria though. Especially from the divers den section. And their customer service is the best.

 

[Hop]

I couldn't post last night for some reason...

Yes J, it's good being back at work and walking for that matter Feels good to have the big tank up and running too! Only a few more days of work to get it to the next stage!

 

[jnarowe]

very cool Hop...are you going to post some pics?

 

[Sparkss]

I thought Vivid also had a guarantee policy ?

I've got a build thread in the General reef discussion. It just has not been the same without the jnarowe posts Melev has stopped by occasionally:lol:

 

[jnarowe]

somehow I missed it...you have to do a broadcast PM when you start a new thread dude.
