IMO 'Big P' could do better with their corals. Such a big store and so many display tanks... but so few corals tanks where corals are for sale. I mean... they have a room for monkeys, but only a few tanks of corals for sale. Anyway, they only offer two or three tiers of corals and each tier is flat rate pricing for better or worse. There was another elegance half the size for the same $80 price... so if you look carefully through the tanks of corals (same price for better or worse) you can sometimes find the ones that are under priced out of the batch.

IMO OC's pricing is pretty fair. He doesn't under price nor over price and he's often consistent from one shipment to the next. Sometimes I feel bad telling him someone else is cheaper as I'm not trying to nickel and dime him... I'd just as well say nothing and buy at the cheaper place if the price difference is worthwhile and all else is equal. But I often also don't mind paying a few bucks extra (<$10) at OC, he's a friendly guy and gives honest opinions. I also think he tries to get his prices to end in the number 8 for Chinese superstition, and that makes me chuckle.

So I got sick of ineffectively quarantining new fish in my frag tank using Herbtana. It's just not working. Lost my Flame Angel this week to Cryptocaryon. So I stripped down my frag tank, took out the sand, frags, frag rack, power head, and now it's a quarantine tank with Cupramine. Screw you protozoans! It's on!

One day I'll set up another frag tank with the metal halide lamp.

You've got some super nice acans and i love that Caulastrea too! Hope your battle with the sick fish turns around for you.

That is hilarious. Now it makes sense why he always adds $0.98 to the end of everything.
