Thoughts, IDs, Suggestions

Hi everyone, a guy close to me in Vermont is taking down his 90gal and selling off some stuff.

I'm new to the hobby and was hoping some of you could take a look at what hes got and give me some feed back on the prices, the species, and recommend what if anything I purchase from him if I like it.

The items for sale can be found here:
Fish Tank Coral Reef Tank - Livestock Selling - Livestock Sell-off - VT

I think I like the green mushrooms, the Enchino and the red zoos.

Any advice would be great!

thanks,

Drew

How much room do you have? what are you in the market for? I wouldn't buy anything just to be buying ( I need to take My own advice there). If there is something specific you need/want that's a whole other story.


I will tell you what I'd do...since I have a brand new (empty) tank... if it were close to here I would buy all the LR w/corals for sure. He has some very nice large rocks with some nice colonies on them.

Allen Allen's testimonial . . ."Let Me help you help YOURSELF" (Click Here)

with a SW set up there is one basic fundamental rule that we ALL should follow
When in doubt... wait it out. This means take it slow and let the tank "develop" and don't rush it. Time is your friend

I totally agree with Allen on this one.
It depends on what you want and how big your tank is and what type of lights you have, Some of the acros and monts need high lighting. So it would depend on how your tank is set up and how much room you have....
