| Sunshine Reefer  | Re: Greetings from the Midwest! Sorry I am late to the party but Welcome to RS! Check some of our sponsors. You can usually get equipment a lot cheaper on the net and you can get some great livestock as well. Several of our sponsors have gorgeous corals for sale at reasonable prices. This will save you the gas money and let you buy more stuff.
