building my dream tank looking for unwanted over crowed corals

[stvguerrero]

Hi im located in el paso texas im building my dream coral reef tank between a wall. I have a 4x54w but really no corals looking to see if any one has unwanted corals (polyps,mushrooms,leathers,etc) or is over crowed by them for donation. Reply of call/text me 915-549-4680 steve

ill will have some pretty soon, but i have to say, my dream tank wouldnt include leftover unwanted corals. JMO.

[stvguerrero]

Lol true true but I was hoping on some nice color ones even if their small, plus when I ft more money to invest I may help other starters like me.

You basically already are! :) We have a website: Southwest Tank And Reef Society (http://www.starsreefclub.com) with more information but our bylaws state: “Members of STARS consist of any person who actively participates in society affairs solely online or in person or any combination of the two.” Hope to see you at our next meeting in December at The Coral Reef (http://www.thecoralreefonline.com).

Welcome to STARS. Great bunch of gals and guys that will help you along your journey.

And yes, the next meeting is with Leonora and Daniel from The Coral Reef--great people. Look at the thread, "december meeting". That should give you all of the info that you need for the next meeting. If you can, I encourage you to try to make it. Its going to be mother of all meetings! :lol2: Once again, Welcome to this wonderful hobby and Welcome to STARS.

[strayvoltage]

stvguerrero, welcome to reef central and to the STARS forum. It is always nice to have new people join us here. If you make the meeting in Dec. I will make sure to bring you frags, if your tank is cycled and ready to go. Do you already have the tank going?
When you are set up and ready I am sure there are plenty of people that will give you frags to help you get going. I see no reason why a tank can't be made up of all donated frags and be just as nice as the one that has lost of $$$$$ spent on corals.

Tell us more about your system.
:wave:

About my tank I have a 60 gallon tank I set between the wall of my living room and kitchen (which as matter fact I have finished the frame around it due to a broken leg lol) I have about 80lbs of live rock I bought at craigslist in it. I have two korolia 3 blowers, fluval 405, a coralife super slimed. Its running with one blue tank, a royal gramma, a percula clown, an a flame angel.

[stvguerrero]

Oh and I also have a current 4x54w

Steve--Looking good bro!! Like the rock work and all the caves in it. I can see a whole bunch of monti caps sitting on the side and once they get big, look as if it was floating in the water. Same with sps. How you liking the black sand?
