Need your advice , I have a 10feet by 4 feet width and 3 feet deep tank. Looking to upgrade my lights. Kindly advice me on Ecotech G5 and the Futura S.Gerald Greaux says:
I would love to purchase some corals for my tank. Please email me with a website and pricing. Hopefully they are reasonable. I would love to help these islanders get back to work as I am an islander myself. U.S. Virgin Islander although anyway everything I can find locally is $90 to $320 for a 1 inch frag wich only a few who have that kind of money to spare will actually pay it. Now with the pandemic and people losing lots of their income I'm pretty sure sales where I live will drop off way more than before the high outrageous price n name of coral game came to be! Who calls zoas of a specific color and pattern by the name of Panty droppers or blue eyed bi-ches??? Just to get more money for them??? If you want to sell your coral frags I would gladly accommodate you to help provide for your family legally if it can be done as long as your prices are reasonable! Hope to hear back from you n have a good day.Marjorie Short says:
