800$ A MONTH? Thats crazy I only wish. The most I've made a month from selling frags was maybe 10$ :P

Well, if I can't sell more of these excess orange digi weeds

in my tank, am going to have to start giving them away... Profit, shmofit... Wanna see my hydro bill?

The point is, if you have a large tank, and corals are breaking through the glass, you're going to have a lot to sell. It's the chopshop guys we're asking to sell elsewhere

Nobody ever does

But there are other ways. I've identified this person by something other than IP.

i think its all fine when your talking about a 10" favia at the lfs and someone wants to sell it in 15 pieces at $30 each just to make a quick buck , yes thats shady.

to be honest i dont even have a display tank , when mine crashed i found all my enjoyment in my grow/frag systems . i grow each and every polyp myself...one by one except for the first one(im not god) i dont even like fish and corals is where its at for me lol

i actually found a new enjoyment in the hobby and it steps away from a traditional display tank. i like collector/designer zoanthids its the drive to find them , bring them in and selectively propagate them that i enjoy, simply put i love zoanthids. old ones fund new ones and the types of zoas i want and bring in are not found at any lfs locally or wild order from indo.

problem is i cant buy them in colonie size and if i could it would cost $$$$$$ , most of the polyps i buy now adays have a price tag of $50-$400 per polyp and for alot of them im lucky if the seller will part with more than one lol

so at $150 for one polyp you can better believe when it hits 4-6 polyps that sucker is getting fragged and im getting some money back before i lose the piece.

im responsible for bringing in alot of the designer zoas that are even available in canada.....someones got to be that guy right lol so i take the risk, pay the price , play the patience game and sell a polyp , and then move on to my next fix lol

and because everyone likes pictures :P

fresh new arrivals that i had to beg to even be able to buy, came from the states so the money may not be local but a lfs somewhere got paid lol

please dont pm me asking for retailers in the states for zoanthids lol
