    wow u got that mandarin pretty cheap along w/ moon palys...sounds like u got a deal. Take good care of that mandarin as I know some are hard to care for. As i went back in to get my 20 gal. sump last night. I was looking around at the equipment they carry and some of that stuff was just outrageously priced. I mean geez, the markup was rediculous. They want like $209.95 for a Coralife 3x Turbo Twist UV Sterilizer!!!!!! That was bizare considering i got mine shipped to my house from ebay brand new for like $79.95! There was also a Koralia #1 powerhead for $59.95!!!!!! I got my #3 KORALIA for under $30 on ebay as well. Exactly why I will always but my equipment stuff online cause it is that much cheaper. Not that I dont like giving local businesses my money, I just will not be gouged on the prices for equipment like that.

    O yea, my tank is full of pods and we have already seen him eating. He should be good. I would agree that the koralia #1 for 59.95 is insane. I bought 2 koralia #3's for $50 each. And that Sterlizer.... Wow talk about bending over and taking one for the team there.

    good...as long as you can keep the pods constant i think he'll do just fine. Yea i like the LFS but i just cant spend money there when it is that expensive. I know they aren't trying to cover for the other lower prices either cause their fish and other stuff isn't that low either. I really only have 2 LFS stores that deal w/ saltwater. I would love to open up my own that deals w/ more saltwater as far as fish, corals, equipment and everything in between to offer a great deal of supplies and stuff people don't see much. But unfortuntately that would take a crap ton of money and I'm not sure how well it would do in this area.
