    Hi all,

    Been browsing up on Live Aquaria's coral packs on the website, thinking about possibly placing an order or driving up there to pick one up for my 55gal. I've picked out a couple that I think I'd be able to handle, just need a bit of advice on the pro's and con's of each one. Here's the links.
    Saltwater Aquarium Corals for Marine Reef Aquariums: Nano Polyp Pack

    Nano Soft Coral Pack

    Saltwater Aquarium Corals for Marine Reef Aquariums: Beginner Soft Coral Pack - Maricultured

    Saltwater Aquarium Corals for Marine Reef Aquariums: Drs. Foster & Smith Certified Soft Coral Frag 5 Pack - Aquacultured

    Also, do the prices seem to be fair on these? I currently have a 48" Wave Point dual lamp T5 light with the stock bulbs which I know aren't the greatest as I have noticed a color change since I bought the fixture. Actinic seems good yet, but the 10000K has definitely changed a bit. I am planning on getting new ATI bulbs soon, looking at 1 Aquablue special and 1 blue plus. Good combination?

    Thanks in advance.

    Just FYI LA has more than one location...the Divers Den and aquaculture stuff is in WI...just about everything else is done from wholesale facilities in Los Angeles.

    All will be fine with your lighting and their prices are reasonable.

    Those packs will be just fine. I personally got into a habit of making sure my stuff all comes from the WI facility. The LA facility in CA has yet to have me impressed, However the staff that answer calls in Rhinelander has always been a pleasure!

    Yeah, same with me, I'd rather get it from the one in Wi as well, always had good luck with them. Everything that is in my tank(besides the rock) fish, equipment, and the tank itself I picked up there, great service and quality.
