Nice. I wish I could get colonies around here. Everything is 1"-2" frags. Hard to tell exactly how big that millie is, but something that size would easily go for $100 or more here.

Capt,The millie is a tad bit bigger than a soft ball.
I walked in to trade my sixline wrasse(he wouldnt stay out of the overflow) and walked out 180 bucks lighter after my 25% discount.

Those are big, and look great! WOW I don't think I could drop 180 in one shot on coral...or should I say I don't think I would live if I did.LOL They look very nice.

Re: Going broke

Yote what size koralias are you running on your tank? I was just wondering, because if I can talk the wife into it I'm getting a 75. My LFS said he would sell me a old but never used acrylic 75 with about a 6x6 center overflow for 100.00 and will need some good flow. But then again thats if I can talk her into it.

Re: Going broke

Because I am so addicted at the moment dropping big money like that isn't so bad. However, sometimes I think back to myself "I just paid 60 bucks for a plant" (I know its not a plant but it is easy to think). It seems much more justified to spend that on a fish because it is like a pet. Thats why I like to buy corals that sway and act almost alive.
