cappacino bay seems to be the largest selection of coral in georgia since I think you had given up on online, that would be your best bet for whatever.

your 75g is barely wet though, onto another already?

*not judging, just curious why the sudden move to another tank*

bet if you triple post this question in another 30 minutes you might get a better answer LMAO - good luck!!! Oscar too much caffeine huh???

- ooops - now another ticket - guess I better slow down. Reading your antics is so much more fun than watchin these fish jump about in this here pond

well i just want to get another started as well, maybe waiting awhile will help, i'll see after christmas.

Well, if you dont have a Quarintine tank, that would be the BEST thing you could do with it.

no, my computer was actin' up earlier, and it wouldn't let me post a poll, so i tried again, that's why there's 2 threads, and the other was the first, and after making it i tried to make a poll. Hey Katfish1, please stop posting in my threads, there are other threads on this site you can talk-in, you have 9 posts, and at least 6 are in my threads, all critizing or making fun of a mistake i make, or a little mess-up. It's sad that an adult wastes their time trying to be mean to a 14 year-old, some parent you must-be. Sorry to sound harsh, but i'd like for you to leave me alone.

By the way the best place for Zoos is online. You just can not get a great selection locally, unless you buy from other reefers.

a good idea, thanks for the suggestion

after christmas i'll have the money, and hopefully my decision on what i'll do with the tank, or if i'll set another-up or not, still not sure that the 25 is a good idea when my 75 is'nt done.

sharkboy1410 · 11-29-2005, 10:35 PM

alright, that may help, capbay had pretty nice ones too, but i was'nt sure if another store had a larger slection. I got yellow skirt zoas, that fade from green to blue in the center at capbay, i also saw fire and ice zoas, and pink-purple zoas, lots of different combos.

Continue with the 75 first, get it where you want it, then a month or two later start up the 25. I do not think a snowflake eel would do well in the 25 as it would be too small. I like the idea of a clown tank with anemones or no clowns and put some anthias in there. FS&M has a great anemone tank that used to have bartlett anthias in it.

25 will be easier to do too when your 75 is setup and you can frag that to fill the 25 perhaps.

Flipturn88 · 11-30-2005, 06:20 AM

I second the QT tank or clown/anemone tank. I KNOW how huge anemones can get (hence my 14" in diameterLTA), so you could create clownfish heaven with nothing else but LR in the tank--especially if they are BTAs and split. In fact, you could make some money off of the BTA clones if you really wanted another source of income. The possibilities are endless.

Just be warned - another tank means a whole other set of potential worries/problems--not to mention maintenance and costs for upkeep/stocking. I learned that the hard way after setting up four...

traip93 · 11-30-2005, 11:46 AM

yeah, having two tanks stinks....double the work. I lasted about 6 days with two tanks and I know a few others that tried it and hated too.....

as your tank matures, you will need a second tank to house items (sick fish, new fish, new corals, fragged corals etc.) i use a 35g and 20g all the time when doing water changes, and when when adding and subtracting things from the tank.....

If you decide to go with zoas and gorgonians, keep in mind that some gorgonians are nonphotosynthetic. I've had two of them. Neither survived. I doubt that I'll try another. I did target feed, but could not get either to survive. The photosynthetic gorgs are really neat and have great growth forms. I stick with those now.
