keydiver Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Lol unfortunately yes. You see, my dream tank is to get a bigger cube tank and have scolys, chalices and collectible mushrooms. But I don't have that kind of money to collect all those the same time.....sooo since I've had a good gist of scolys and chalices(though I haven't done super high end chalices, I had superman chalice, Tyree bubble gum monster, flamethrower, etc), I'm going to do a collectible mushroom tank this time since I haven't done so. 1st mushroom is going to be a jawbreaker, however I really want a mama one so if I can score a good deal on it then that'll be it. If not, I'll get a baby one with at least two of the colors (yellow/red) and get other kinds of mushies. I'm doing the same with my pico tank now in college. I have a couple jawbreakers, ironmans, some crazy rainbows, cool rhodactis, and my newest addition the WWC bounce mushy. Looking forward to doing some trading with you in the future. Link to comment

I'm not going to do trades....sorry. Mind showing us some pictures of your setup? I'm mainly interested in jawbreakers/tie dyes. Plan is either get a mama one, or get a baby one along with other collectible mushies. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Maybe try craigslist, local reefer forums, local facebook groups, etc? Good luck with sale! Link to comment

patback Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Rome wasn't built in a day. Basically everyone huys peices they like when they have the spare money. They usually don't say " I'm budgeting 1500 and once I hit that price, breaking everything Down. Buy nice peices that are actually frag gable and sell them for more coral money. You also need to get over the fear of shipping if you want to move pieces within a timely manner. Deal with people you only feel comfortable with. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I say keep a few of the scoly's and sell a few and then add the other things you want to it. People reset/downgrade/upgrade/side-grade/quit/re-join/ect.. all the time in this hobby but since you like scoly's I see no reason to sell them ALL. Link to comment
daletu Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I will take your reverse bleeding apple off your hand but you don't ship!!!! This is so random, can't believe you decide to sell them all! Where is your love of scoly? Haha. Link to comment
jack1978 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I'll give you 50% of your asking price. These are clearly "used" and not new. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thanks. So did your lfs ever get back to you on that master scoly price? nope, someone put a hold on it an hour after he posted it on facebook. it was gone when i visited a few days later and he didn't want to tell me the price.

Chris! Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Rome wasn't built in a day. Basically everyone huys peices they like when they have the spare money. I hit that price, breaking everything Down. Yeah thats just stupid. I could see setting a monthly budget of whatever you can afford but to set a total tank budget is insane..... especially that low. I hate to wonder what happens when he runs out of budget room for salt LOL. Link to comment
opaquelace Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Trading in scolys for high end mushrooms. This should be fun. Mushrooms are my favorite corals even if they're fairly basic. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 what u doing with your BML light? didn't you just get that light???? Link to comment
Red_Blenny Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Ya know, those high end mushrooms are more expensive than those scolys. Link to comment

This is so random, can't believe you decide to sell them all! Where is your love of scoly? Haha. Lolol, sorry guys. I don't really want to ship scolys... Anyways, part of the reason is because I want to do something different with a new tank* I say keep a few of the scoly's and sell a few and then add the other things you want to it. People reset/downgrade/upgrade/side-grade/quit/re-join/ect.. all the time in this hobby but since you like scoly's I see no reason to sell them ALL. I'm putting all up for sale but I doubt all of them will be bought at the prices I'm asking for lol. I might just keep a few, we'll just have to see. nope, someone put a hold on it an hour after he posted it on facebook. it was gone when i visited a few days later and he didn't want to tell me the price. Must be high I bet lol. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Ya know, those high end mushrooms are more expensive than those scolys. No doubt. Check out Shroom Room on Facebook, place for lovers of shrooms- I saw a mushroom, amazing, went to ebay $499 for a mushroom??? I can't ever imagine paying that much. Link to comment
1.0reef Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Ya know, those high end mushrooms are more expensive than those scolys. Some, large Jawbreakers ($300+) and Godspawn ($250+) are the more obvious ones, most others are around $75-$125 vs his scolys which are like $115-$190.... Plus mushies will put out sellable babies.... Link to comment
Illuiix Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Trading in scolys for high end mushrooms. This should be fun. Mushrooms are my favorite corals even if they're fairly basic. I'm not trading at the moment. The plan is to order a new tank with new lights and either buy one big jawbreaker mama mushroom or buy multiple of various types of mushrooms... what u doing with your BML light? didn't you just get that light???? Might just have to sell it, it really depends whether I sell all the scolys are not... I really to dig the new tank idea of having a 14" picO cube with a nano razor over it, that's the plan if I were to take this tank down. Ya know, those high end mushrooms are more expensive than those scolys. Lol, that's why I plan to either just get one jawbreaker mama and nothing else or get a couple various types of mushies. I'm not going to try to spend over the budget lol, at least that's what I'm hoping for. Some, large Jawbreakers ($300+) and Godspawn ($250+) are the more obvious ones, most others are around $75-$125 vs his scolys which are like $115-$190.... Plus mushies will put out sellable babies.... Actually I think a mama jawbreaker can go from $800-$1300.....lol, so hopefully I can score a lower deal for a mama. Link to comment
1.0reef Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 IIRC Kmaintl who has the grand-daughter of the Original imported one has Nickel+ sized ones for $200-$250 Link to comment

1.0reef Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 BTW Jawbreakers are hardy, but grow sllooowwwly, so I'd get a few candlelight or lavalamps for like $75 and let them grow out then get the Jawbreakers Link to comment
opaquelace Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I'd do a bunch of different ones. I picked up this guy at my LFS today and I think I'm slowly becoming obsessed with mushrooms again. When you post your new tank thread for this build shoot me a PM I want to follow it! Looks like the burning monk mushroom on PlanetZoa but I picked it up for only $25. Has a purple mouth with green around it then it's a metallic orange everywhere else. To have a jawbreaker...I think I'd shit. I'm not trading at the moment.

1.0reef Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 A mama is like a golf ball size. No, a mother would be 5 inches, golf ball size is a juvie Link to comment
Tamberav Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Get 1 jawbreaker mushroom and put it in the tank... come back 10 years later and the entire tank will be covered Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Dude, your scoly's are so 2012 so I'll do the best I can and offer 50 a piece for whole lot of them. I got the chowder in the pot ready to bake son;) Link to comment

Hopefully I can get it to grow faster...my water is raised differently lolol. Nah, I like LOVE LOVE Jawbreakers compared to any other shroom out there. Jawbreaker is #1 on my list lol, going to make the thread "J A W S" No, a mother would be 5 inches, golf ball size is a juvie Not according to RAP 2013. A mama was like only a little bigger than a golf ball size. I would say a half-dollar coin to be more exact. Unless I didn't see it full expanded over there. I'd do a bunch of different ones.

Get 1 jawbreaker mushroom and put it in the tank... come back 10 years later and the entire tank will be covered Lol, 10yrs! That's a long time...don't know if I would still have a mushroom tank going....lol. Dude, your scoly's are so 2012 so I'll do the best I can and offer 50 a piece for whole lot of them.
