I found a guy somewhat near me with a pretty big selection; I'll have to see if he has any of the ones on your list.
Just a guy? Or a store...if the prices were good enough maybe I could make an order big enough to make shipping them worth while.

I think I have a source for a gold torch, going to try and get one in the next couple months I think.

my other sumps baffles broke on me so my sump for the salt setup wont have any. i wish i wasn't broke or i'd be into something like that. my lunar wrasse and piccasso make short work of everything. i am just going to be getting some cuban gars to add to the collection some time next week.

now i just have our bowfins left in my 120gal. you can check them out in the latest update i made. i have it in my "quick update thread" or just go on my youtube channel.
Yea, Im breaking the bank right now trying to get this finished. I dont think many of the mini nasarius snails made it - I was hoping they would hole up and start breeding in there for me. I also think that I lost a good deal of hermits as well. Really no way to prove how many came in DOA or died either, so I guess LA can keep that cash.

I finally got some phosphate removal stuff rolling, and now I am planning on buying another phosban reactor to run some carbon in.

After that I am doing a big order from aquamags (three small rocks and one custom to cover my overflow I think) and then who knows. I gotta get more corals in here pronto!

Just started feeding your pbass sinking carnivore pellets. They should start exploding now that they can take stuff that big.

You should have just snagged a BRS dual chamber reactor. That is what I am using to run my GFO and Carbon!

Your rock has sure purpled up nicely! Tanks looks great!!!!

It's a small appointment-only business by the sounds of it. Here's a link to their website; it doesn't say if they ship though and doesn't show too much. I'm hoping to go there either Sunday or sometime next week (all depends on the weather), so let me know if they say anything about shipping.

Thought about it, and then I got cheap. I ended up spending more money than I wanted to at any rate.

My tank is mainly filled with this red turf algae...but hopefully once I get phos down and mag up I will get more coraline.

Site looks pretty cool. Id be interested in seeing these "colonies" and I meant you would buy and then ship to me! haha

A friend of mine just got back from there with a nice crocea clam ($50), sun coral ($35), and xenia ($5); the sun coral looks to have about two dozen heads on it based on the picture that he sent me. He also mentioned that their stock was a little low now, but they had a ton of stuff coming in soon.

I'll make an appointment sometime soon if you think those prices give you a good idea as to if it'd be worth getting a bunch of stuff to ship to you or not.

Ha those prices are good.

There is a guy in milwaukee that is going out of business though, and I need to save some meony to buy some corals from him, there is a big frag swap at the end of this month, and I may or may not have just bought a $120 QM aquacultured gold torch. Kinda pricey!

Alk with salifert test kit today was 9.9, mag was 1350 - (might have been more, but I just said 'screw it' and shot the rest of the titrant into the test solution. So its at least that. Calcium is the last thing I have to test.

Posting some pictures. Two are bad cell phone pics of my australomussa with feeder tentacles out. Thing eats like a pig. This is a relatively new coral from Fosters and Smith DD.

Another is my suncoral a couple months back, again, awesome PE.

Last but not least, come join me at work and sort some preserved fish!
