I see Clarkiis and tomato clowns in Maidenhead shops every now and again, but certainly not super common. Sounds like your apprentices are worth keeping!!!

debbeach13 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Sounds like a deal you should jump on it if your OK with adding sand. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I had a carpet anemone for over 20 years and it like the sand bed and actually stayed in the same place with it's foot on the bottom glass. As shown in my avatar. One of the members on here has Malu that has done great. I think it eventually got large so he gave it it's own tank. Did you try a search here on NR? 2 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Is that what is posted at a LFS? I just checked an on line store that members here use a lot and the selection was way down. Most of what I might be interested in was Out Of Stock. 1 Quote Link to comment

I know i need to check out a couple near me, just to see what they have in. Typically have a decent deal on Softies... Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Those prices are nuts, but as a side note, stay away from Neoglyphidodon, blue velvets especially. You probably already know to, but I honestly don't know why they're even sold lol. 2 Quote Link to comment

Yeah they were attempting to split the fish between the tanks while I was there, they were causing absolute chaos 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Ya'll can get some incredible animals for crazy low prices, seems supply right now is crushed on your side of the puddle though... 2 Quote Link to comment

I have 2 local stores and both are pretty low on most stock. High demand, low stock equal big price for some reason 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Same sized frag £10 And I hate the stuff. Might see if I can snap some corresponding DT photos 3 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Hooked up the inkbird and decided that I need to swap the gooseneck for the Par38 to a pendant. Just need to dial in temp a little and we're ready for first additions (reading 80.5F) 5 Quote Link to comment
