![]() shhhh....the MP40 was 400 bucks...
That wrasse is bad a--!....only $35 and is reef safe. I was a little worried that we might be going too fast but I tested the water before I ordered all the stuff and everything was where it should be...I guess buying dry rock has its advantages...I did see a small ammonia spike etc after the scallop, but with the addition of about 3lbs cured live rock numbers went back to normal. Hurry up next week!

![]() Rubriventralis is one of my favourite fairy wrasses. Totally reef safe and peaceful. A little timid as are most of the smaller fairies but over time will become bolder.

![]() I am super excited for that fish. As of right now there is nothing to do in/with the tank until Monday or Tuesday...but I find myself cruising liveaquaria drooling over everything. PS! In the diver's den there's a pair of fish going for a cool 1600.00....are you kidding me?!?!?!?
Next up, cruising the local site for some free or next to free coral...dun dun dun

![]() Yeah the Candy is also one of my most desired fish. Ching Chai on RC with the 1000g has a pair I think. Stunning reef fish but not for this budget reefer.

![]() Randy Holmes-Farley has a pair too (I think it was him...one of the "famous" authors anyway). Have you ever seen one in person? Pictures can't do justice for the fish. It is NEON. It is a shame they are quite cryptic though...better in a nano than a big reef.

![]() Never seen one no. K Randi you gonna nab'em? You've blown the budget already but maybe you can trade Dr's Foster & Smith a few bangin' tats for the pair?
![]() I mean look at'em. Bet they already have full sleeves done and are looking for that next big thrill. |

![]() It's a good thing I don't live in the U.S. because I'd probably bankrupt myself in 2 months with purchase after purchase from LA..
That said I think $800 per fish is a little ... well, my station in life would have to change a LOT for that ever to be in the realm of the possible .. To me it's a sort of .. I dunno what I'm trying to say. If a fish is so rare that it commands $1600 (or $800 even, really, what's the difference at that point), is it rare because there's that few of them? In which case .. isn't it better that they be left where they are so to let the species replenish itself? Or is it expensive just because "that's what someone will pay for it" in which case I totally resent the manipulation. Ok this is getting kinda deep. I sure do love THIS fish. It has been in the den for a while. What a beautiful trigger: http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden...3+3&ddid=89679 Yep, a good thing I'm not allowed to buy from LA! ![]() ![]()

![]() Look at that!
http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden...3+3&ddid=89679 - $800 http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...94&pcatid=2994 - $40 http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...47&pcatid=2847 - $170 to $380 we'll just call that $200 http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden...+1&ddid=100957 - $300 http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden...+3&ddid=100131 - $170 http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden...+3&ddid=100312 - $650 Not even 5 minutes on there and I've spent > $2000 in my head. Haha! ... Yeah you're totally screwed. See if you can set up an automatic bank account deduction that just transfers funds from your bank account to them and they just send you "stuff" from the divers den every so often. ![]()

![]() yeah ok Brett. They're totally the tattoo type ha ha ha.
I can tell we'll be spending lots of money at LA though...I did 4 tattoos today and all I could think was what I was going to spend my percentage on online
