    Well yesterday started out like most sundays, I needed to get two new ro membranes so I posted on my local forum and one of my lfs responded, i asked if they had two 90 gpd's and price. They told me 99 bucks. when i got there they did not have two in stock, they had one which he pulled out of a unit and just let sit on the counter for a few hours and then found a GE 100gpd one and said it was as good, and then told me the price was 100 each. HAHA.. needless to say a wasted trip.

    But I was not about to make this a wasted trip, on my way home i stopped by my favorite store and was blown away by his usual shipment, at the same time, owner was going on vacation for a month and decided to tear down his display tank. I have never spent so much on a single coral but i got this beautiful 3-4 inch colony of Red Dragon for 250 bucks. Every place i have seen sells a .5-.3/4" frag for 150-250 bucks. This piece is stunning I cant wait for it to color up.
