New reefer budget build looking for coral

wraggederrick · Jan 23, 2023

I don't know if people use this thread anymore but its worth a shot. I’m located in Orange County and just started a new Fluval Evo 13.5 and finished cycling. The reason it being a small tank is I have a low budget. I was wondering if anyone had any extra coral they were getting rid of and could give to me for free? Or even some super cheap coral? Its amazing to be apart of this community and thanks!

I might have some stylophora for you green and purple. Should do okay in a newish setup, but will need Cal/Alk supplementation eventually.

Is it a fully grown one? I would be worried my tank is too small for it

How has the tank been going and what have you stocked in it so far? I have some clove polyp and Green star polyps I could throw into there! Super easy coral!

Hey! I sure do. Congrats on getting your tank set up and cycled.

My name is Chris and I was in HVRK years and years ago, but don't even jump on here much anymore. I was coming on to beg people to come get corals. Maybe not "beg," but I have a couple things that might work well for your new tank.

I also live in Orange county, down in Tuxedo by the Ren Faire. I have a 150 with all kinds of stuff and I need to offload some in preparation for a new scape sometime this year.
