Plus some random free frags.

Guess how much???

$100? *l*

 

[Bifferwine]

No. Not that low, unfortunately :(
Okay new question then: How much do you think all that stuff is worth?

 

[andysgirl8800]

Way more than $100? :D

 

[Bifferwine]

Yeah... :cry:

I just want to know how much any of you guys would have paid for that stuff.

 

[andysgirl8800]

Since I've only got softies in my tank, I'm not very good at estimating some of the rest of those corals. I think the zoas alone I'd pay maybe $200 for. The others, another $300.

 

[dcantucson]

I would have paid $500.00 but I'm guessing you paid $275.00

 

[Bifferwine]

I am paying $240 for all of that.

candy apple pinks 4+ polyps $20

Guess how much???

$370 - $400

 

[Bifferwine]

Thanks. I was hoping I got a good deal, since I'm not into all those "high end" zoanthids (you know, the ones with names!) I have no idea what they normally go for.

 

[Rcpilot]

Can't wait. Those are going to REALLY fill up your tank. I thought you was out of room?

 

[Bifferwine]

Well I have a lot of room at the bottom of the tank for lower light stuff. I only have a few frags of zoanthids, so zoas are exactly what I have been wanting and needing as "fillers" along the sides of the rocks, you know?

 

[SeattleDarko]

NICE!!!! good deal now we need pics!!!

 

[Bifferwine]

It's gonna have to wait until Thursday when I'm back in Tucson :( Oh well, it will give me something to look forward to!

Biff,

I'm going to look all of these up tomorrow. That's an incredible deal. I realy quickly looked up the whammin' watermelons (because I knew where a post was at that had some) if you get 30 whammin watermelon in MI. They'll cost you $30-40 depending on the condition. And that's from a reefer not a shop.

You've obviously got the hook up. Nice find.

I was with a friend of mine at a shop (that was having a going out of business sale) and he paid $50 for a frogspawn. And was happy to do it!

If I just took a stab at it with my limited knowledge of corals, but have been pricing stuff intensely for a month. I would estimate that to cost me $5-600 from a reefer and $7-800 at a shop.

Damn, hope NDB isn't reading this! :mrgreen:

You know, I thought the same thing as soon as I typed it. I hoped no one else would notice. :bounce::bounce:

 

[fastrd400]

I'm calling him!

 

[Bifferwine]

I'm calling him!

Good luck finding him! He has the most common name in the Western world and owns no property or vehicles ;)

 

[dcantucson]

I've got the number. :lol:
