[RedDragon]

I'm going to get a new Brain coral, leather,and a few more that the guy selling them did not know what kind they were, I will post a pic after I get them (after the level are good again) like lighting,feeding and so,I've never had to many corals so info on these is limited,and the prices I'm getting these corals for is the best I've ever seen 15 for the brain,15 for the leather, and 10 for the rest of corals, plus 10 for a blue tang :-D

Jaime -
We cannot stress this enough - SLOW DOWN! I'm beginning to think we need to beat this into your head! :hammer: :-D You just had a major die off in your tank recently and there is no way you have that tank at safe levels for adding anything new already. You don't need to be thinking about upgrading to a larger tank until you get this one up and going for many months. One step at a time. We understand your eagerness, we were all eager when we were setting up our first tanks, but it takes patience and time. While you may be eager to do things, those fish and corals are not eager to die and they don't deserve to be taken from the ocean just to be killed simply because you were in a hurry.

Don't worry about what livestock someone else has for sale right now, no matter how good a deal it may be. People are always selling off stuff. Get your tank setup and running smoothly first. There will be plenty of fish and corals for sale then too. Start off slowly and simply and then work your way up. I know there are many people there in Austin that are willing to not only help you through email, but also willing to come by and check things out in person. Please listen and learn from others with more experience and you will have much more fun with this hobby.

Good Luck!

Yeah man, spend all your money setting one tank up correctly instead of spreading it out into 10 different tanks. I can't barely keep up with the cost of keeping one tank, let alone four or five tanks like you have. The first time that I quit last summer, I got tired of the hassle it take totopping water off on four or five tanks. I sold off my RO/DI and had to go to the store to buy RO water. You're a young guy, you still have the world to travel (but don't travel right now) and many ladies to conquer. Don't let all those tanks make you into their slave. Concentrate on one tank at a time, and do it well. B4 I buy my stuff, I usually research it out thoroughly on my own. Don't just rely on the word of the one fish store owner.

well the 37g is only a holding tank for when I can use the 60g, the 55g I gave to my uncle to start his FW tank, after I set up the 60g and its ready to go I am going to sell the 37g, I only want one reef tank, :-D
