Starting over

New 75 gallon needs some inhabitants. Since it's a new tank i'm looking for some hardy corals. Pulsing xenia, bright GSP, Kenya tree, birds nest, maybe some colorful zoa's. I don't really have anything to trade at the moment but am willing to purchase some frags. Thanks!

arent we all... no matter how old the tank, still can find something you still want.

Well, when i started a couple of years ago.. several people offered me corals to help my new tank. This forum seemed to be more active back then and people more helpful in starting off newbies. I don't know what changed, but i help others when i can just as i was helped. Things like xenia and GSP.. those are like weeds to a lot of folks, so i may have a chance at getting some

A lot of the people that have the big tanks that have alot of stuff had tanks crash and so forth. but im sure you can fins something. If you are looking for any leathers (colt, green finger) i might have some in a bit.

Oh, i'm not picky and like variety. The 75 will have so much room compared to the 29, i'll feel like i can keep anything (light and flow limits of course).

no worries.. i rarely if ever go there. The only livestock i've purchased from there was a LTA, and they had just put them in their tanks 2 hours before i bought him.

Yeah, I was in there right after it all happened. Seems there was a problem and the tanks drained overnight, leaving all of the corals out of the water. Then the auto top-off kept refilling with freshwater after it drained, essentially turning it into a freshwater tank... They lost quite a bit as a result, most of it being new.
