Agreed.

So with a little help from fishytime i think i may have ID the wrasse. its by far the closest looking pic i have seen. mine has more blue in the body than the pic but its still close.

OK so the mini acro colony i had decided to stn onme so i had to frag it. am i still on the hook for the full amount or can i drop the price to 1 frag.? if i sell the frags can i reintroduce that cash into my budget?

Lol

stn?

You responsible for the colony.

We already went over the re-introduction of cash to the budget. Not Allowed.

Well keeping with the real life thing. in reall life i would sell these frags. not arguing but the whole "real Life" thing, but the aspect doesnt mean anything in this contest. that phrase keeps being brought up but has abslutly no bearing on this contest whatsoever. so i can sell these frags and keep the money but be stuck with and extra 20-40 bucks from the frags but UNLIKE real life i cannot put the money back into the tank. so now i have a huge void on the right side of my tank and money to spend from the frags that were from this piece but i have to spend that cash on a different tank, of something outside reefing. WHATS THE POINT????????????? THIS IS NOTHING LIKE REAL LIFE.

If you dont like this then stop using the phrase REAL LIFE. in REAL LIFE **** happens and it seems in this contest that youhave to handle "it" hitting the fan, but you can do nothing to recouperate aterards even if you are left with Frags that could be sold, but this has nothing to do with your budget. show me how this has anything to do with REAL LIFE.

edit

IN REAL LIFE THIS COLONY COST 45 BUCKS BUT THE FRAGS WOULD GET ME AROUND 60 AS I ENDED UP WITH ABOUT 6 FRAGS. IN REAL LIFE PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY CAN TO KEEP CORAL FROM DIEING OFF ENTIRELY SO INSTEAD OF LETTING THIS PIECE DIE I AM BEING PUNISHED FOR TRYING TO GET BACK SOME MONEY. SO NOW WHEN ANYONE REMOVES ANY PIECE OF CORAL FROM THEIR TNAKS FOR ANY REASON I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PROOF THAT ITS NOT DYING. SEEMS TO ME THAT OUTSIDE OF JDIGITAL I AM THE ONLY ONE HAVING THESE ISSUES. WITH THE NUMBER OPF TANKS INVOLVED I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IM THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE ISSUES, OR MAYBE I AM THE ONLY ONE WITH THE HONESTY TO REPORT SUCH OCCURANCES.

What is stn??

I've stuck with mostly soft corals cause they are easier to keep. But since my last fts my Anthelia has shriveled up. Hopefully it makes it but if not I'll have lost something too.

But now I'm confused?? I saw some black clowns at the lfs that I liked so if I bought those (which I didn't cause some lady beat me too it) and took out my orange clown I could remove his cost from my budget... right?

We've already gone over this before Guappo.. I don't know why you're argueing. :question:

We're not recouping money back into the budget.

wes: stn = Slow Tissue Necrosis...

I wasnt argueing with the prices i was argueing with your usr of the term "real Life".

OK since there is absoulutly NO point in selling these frags i have decided to leave everyone of them in my tank. so now istead of 5 pieces of sps i now 11. i will NOT be adding any value for the frags as the colony was already accounted for.
and yes some frags are larger than 2 inches and some are smaller.

I will also be trading one of these frags and that frag will go in the tank as it cost me nothing except something of equal Market Value that was removed(but not the budget) from this tank. and yes THIS DOES HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE.
