Great question!
I was just at Reefco and their bottles of tiger pods were $25 each.
I bought from BRS last time, and got a batch of their 5280 pods and a thing of Ocean Magik last time, as it was cheaper (and faster) from them then directly from Algae Barn...that was $60.
Word online has...
Couldn't help myself. I think I'm going to roll with these two for a while and then carefully choose the next tenant. Scratches are really coming out in my photos. ;-)
10 years ago you couldn't give away frogspawn...torches seem to be basically the same thing.
Now, they're like the most expensive, coveted coral.
I think thats the only reason I want one. But I'm too cheap...because they're too damn expensive. They're like more predictable anemones or...
I need to research this...I thought that the live rock would also not tolerate copper/medicine/whatever...and pods, if any, would they tolerate medicine?
So...the powder brown tang is, for me, the ultimate saltwater fish...it's the fish i saw that started my journey into the hobby. I always wanted one...but my tanks were always to small.
Now I have this 90, and undoubtedly will go bigger eventually.
BUT...they are notoriously hard to keep...
I was in Reefco today and they had a buttload of inverts. Didn't have the fish I wanted, but the snails and crabs were almost excessive. ;-)
I ordered from Reef Cleaners a few weeks back. I wanted peppermint shrimp, and ended up order them and enough stuff to get free shipping. Everything...
Now to figure out how to feed him. He's pretty timid, and I don't want to go throwing tons of food in the newly established tank.
Any ideas? Tried mysis with a plunger and it just scared him away.
So today I hit 3 pet stores looking for my first fish.
1. Reefco. Love this store, but they didn't have what I'm looking for. No triggers, no grouper, no puffer...just a really pale looking powder brown.
2. Petco in North Plainfield. All they had was clownfish...and sadness.
3. Ocean...
