New member of the fuzzy stick club!!


Just picked up an Austera and a Millie from Smeese. They look sweet. These are my first SPS, hope they do well (under 250w 65K + 330W VHO act.)
Think I'll have to join the R.K.A club here too.
Spent nearly two hundred bucks in a week. To put it in perspective I eat ramen noodles and easy mac nearly every day.

Wow I must have missed a thead... Must have been the alcohol. Did someone say SPS??? When I 1st started the hobby I wanted nothing to do with the fuzzy sticks. Now I am addicted and they are about all I own. As far as the $200 in a week with a newer tank...Well we wont talk about my CC bills (BTW I dont spend it if I dont have the money to pay the bill when it comes).

A good portion of that money whent to a new skimmer, which belongs on any newer tank (10 months old). I only spent 25 bucks on my first two SPS. Plus the RPS I bought from smeese and the LFS.

Easy mac = instant macaroni and cheese(microwavable!!

If we can arrange a time (this tends to be the hardest part for me...sometimes its really challenging in fact) you could stop by Augsburg and I could give you bits (or in some cases bigger than bits) of many or most of the things I have. No obligation to give anything in return. Just do the same for others when you can. I have things I can spare, and it sounds like you have space for them to have good lives in your tanks. There's no sense in you spending money for corals you probably can't easily afford when I have coral frags laying around on the sand looking for a good place to grow.

e-mail me. Please do NOT PM unless it is your only option.
