Oh boy the wife is gonna shoot me

[Fastlight]

Dont get me wrong my wife is very supportive of most everything i do. And she is even getting her hands wet in the hobby! I told her I would cut back on the spending till xmas was over but just as i told her this not 1 but 2 people in the area are having killer deals on coral!! I know i should be spending money on my rodi but ive been checking cragslist for a long time even our local reef forums and this is something else. One guy is selling all his coral propogation equipment(economy hit him) told me i bring 100 buck and he will hook me up with all sorts of lps softies and shrooms!!! not to mention all the equipment he has Then the other guy had his stand bust on his 125 gal and selling all his coral that he cant fit in his other tank. Btw the guy that is selling all his coral propogation equipment has like 4 75 gal ffor sale 9 55gal and like a big 125 so any one near the toledo area check out craigslist. So should i risk being murdered by my wife and ask her to go look at these corals??? Or should i just save up for the rodi and hope another deal like this comes around? OH man figures!!!!!

If you can find any possible way to fit it in your budget go for it.

I think your top priority should be water quality. Save and get the RO/DI.
Do you think your water quality is up to mantaining all the new coral? If so, go for it.

i say go for it

Im with Capt. Get the RO unit first. Deals on corals are nearly always available if you look hard enough.

Go for water quality. You and the coral will be happier in the long run. There will always be great deals in the future.

[Piggy]

If your water quality is good I would go for it. But only if it's in the budget.

ro/di comes first so you can keep good quality water to keep corals thriving and growing so you can make your own frags to trade for more corals. there will be more good deals in future don't jump and make any mistakes, have to keep wife happy, i would just go buy few corals for good price.

+1 for DFrench!

ro\di first if you have crappy water and buy some coral and it dies than you are out that money but if you get the ro\di and then buy the coral and it lives you are ahead of the game
