Yay! I'm going to S.A. tomorrow!!
I bought a Rock-boring Urchin yesterday and he hardly moves.
Looking closely though, I do see his spines and tentacles moving about.

Okay, I just deleted everything I typed. lol Way too long!!
I'm looking for:
1. Purple Bicolor Urchin
2. Astrea Snails
3. BioCube 29 replacement lights
4. A new home for my Zoas and Finger Leather Coral frags (to give away or trade)

My tank isn't in the greatest shape... all this time, I thought I was doing something wrong.
Turns out, my lights are as old as my tank and I need to replace them bad.
My tank is about 39 weeks old. So there's green hair algae everywhere.
So bare with me... here are the pics of my frags... how would I go about to transport them? :confused:
(I'm taking an air stone just in case!)

Zoa on the left, Finger Leather on the right...

Finger Leather Coral piece ummm about 1 1/2"

Zoa piece (rock about 1 1/2")

I don't know how much time I'll have.
But it would be much faster to either drop it off at one of the stores or meet up at the store. :)
Still trying to figure out how much time I have but I will be stopping at Fintique, Alamo Aquatics, Phenomenal Aquatics, and Gabe's FOR SURE.
Sorry for the long post. :innocent2:

Silly me, I didn't even say when I was going to S.A.
TOMORROW! lol Sorry, I know it's last minute.
Honestly, I just found out I was going about 20 minutes before this post!!

Is it? Unless their info isn't updated on this site.
Oh well, it's near by Alamo Aquatics and Gabe's so it won't be a big waste of time to see if it's opened.

Let me know if anyone has a trade for me.
Even if it's another color of Zoas or a different leather coral. lol
I would love a trade but if you really want it but don't have a trade, no worries. They are up for trade and/or give away. :)
PM me!! :)

I'm really hoping to find replacement lights for my BioCube 29 though.
I would hate to have to order them.

You should post your frags in the For Sale/Trade forum; you may have better luck there. If not, I bet one the stores will give you credit or trade for the snails.

I just put mine in either ziplocs or in plastic containers with tight fitting lids. Transport in a cooler to keep the temp stable. No need for aerator!

You have to squeeze in Reefs2U! Good luck with your trip.

Yeah I could have done that but I figured I would include it in a general post.
It was something quick and last minute that I didn't even get a chance to figure out where to put it.

I hope I can stop by Reefs2U also. Thanks! I hope I have enough time!!
