Need ideas to make my tank look lively!

[donnievaz]

Lol... Ok makes sense... Thank you! Can i place it anywhere? Or would u suggest somewhere specific in the tank?

That stuff will do fine wherever you put it.

Try to find a local reefers club to join. Not only will you get great local help and advice but you can get incredible deals on coral. A lot of people have to trim their prolific coral like Xenia and GSP and practically give it away.

Agreed, I'd give you some Kenya tree, xenia, and gsp if you were local.. Otherwise it just goes in the trash [emoji54]

In my area I wouldn't expect to get more than $5 or 10 bucks depending on the size, usually I would only charge to weed out the flakes. For some reason people fail to show up to pick up free frags, IME.

Ok how does this 1 look anyone? She is trying to charge me 50 for that or 20 for 1 that is smaller which is the pic underneath

The mushroom here looks a little weird to me ... There is this film on it

Help me out before i leave here ... Thanks!

$50 and $20 for GSP is high but you're in NY so that may be normal up there. I'd say $30 for the large rock would be the upper limit I would do if I were you. The bottom pic is a toadstool leather not a mushroom and it's not unusual to shed some mucus on occasion. That's worth about $20-$30 I would think.

Ok so are you saying I should either go with the last picture or the 1st pic and basically try to talk her down?

 

[merlberg]

Ok i thought the last pic was a mushroom but you are saying its a toadstool leather! Right? Can i still get it to start? Is it the same requirements which seems pretty easy?

Depends, if you're just buying one type you'll probably be better off buying the toadstool depending on what she wants for it. If you buy the Toadstool, try to get her to throw in one of the small GSP frags for $10

[merlberg]

Ok so this one was cheaper n it looked good so i got it. He told me it was a toadstool but i want to make sure from you guys as well.

Definitely a toadstool, great choice for a first coral.

Is this normal for it to be so bent over? Should I move it or turn it? Or put it lower? I ask because it looks like its moving and im not sure if its the powerhead blowing it. The polyps on them opened up which is a good thing! I think they are called polyps lol
