My 118 gallon tank's been thru cycling for about 1-2 weeks, and I have 3 green chromis in quarantine, as well as a mushroom coral and button polyps on the way. I'd like to stock my tank with hardy coral (since the tank isn't very old) and percula clowns, a tang, a reef-safe angel, an antrias, more... does anyone have anything to trade (my mushroom coral is coming from another tank and growing rapidly) or sell for cheap? Or is anyone taking down their tank? Let me know! I'll probably be making a trip to Van withing the next 2 weeks. Thanks!

P.S. I may have a pair of tomato clowns and a blue fin damsel I can trade within the next 2 weeks (they're coming my way with the coral, but I want perculas instead.)

Why thank you, happy to be here. I'm really excited about my tank. It's looking pretty bare right now though- I need more live rock! My corals and 50 lbs of LR are coming soon though. *yippee*

Is this fully cured local rock? If not, I wouldn't add corals at the same time, you will get a cycle with new rock.

There goes Brad again, raining on someones parade. LOL!! j/k :lol:
He is right though, go slow adding livestock. Make sure your rock is cured and tank is cycled before adding even hard to kill items. JMO!

Welcome to the nut house by the way!

Yeah the LR is cured, and it's been in a healthy tank for 3 months. I can put the coral in my quarantine tank though just incase my display tank gets an ammonia spike. Thanks for the warning :)
