Blue Zoa ($15 max)

[Patt]

First post for me. Heard about this site from a fellow reefer at the LFS yesterday.

Anyway, I'm looking for a blue zoa frag at the budget of $15.

I'm in Long Beach, but will be able to pick up if in LA County or OC. Possibly as far as the Valley.

Wowww. Did not expect all the replies. Thanks, everyone, for pointing me in the right direction. Hey, Reefomeez, I am that Asian guy. Thanks for showing me this site. Only have one other buddy who's into reefkeeping, but I'd say he's not too experienced. Maybe a year into the hobby for him and around 6 months for me, so am sort of clueless when trying to find frags and whatnot. I will post more info and pics of my ghetto rigged nano in a bit.

Sweet, glad you checked this site out. There's tons to learn here mixed in with some joking around. It's a great community. And it's nice to have another resident of Da Beach up in here.

Thanks, BeanMachine. I might have to take you up on your offer. Would you be open to cutting me a few more polyps if I throw you some cash?

If you are ever out this way, i can cut some free frags for you as well.
But lets be honest, no one comes to the IE not even for free frags!

Oh and :21:

Definitely nothing to brag about, but I had a ton of fun learning about the hobby in the short time I've had my tank.

Am currently only running polyfill and LR for filtration because I recently heard downsides of running carbon, GFO, or Chemipure/Purigen to tanks with corals due to them taking up trace elements beneficial to corals. And am finally deciding to get into corals.

-Visio Glass tank (think it's 20 gallons)
-Light: hood from my friend's stock JBJ Nano (T3's)
-Custom AIO style sump
-Return pump: Maxijet-900
-Hydor Koralia 240
-Aquaclear 50 (just polyfill)
-Heater: 100W Eheim
-Chaetomorpha (think I might take it out because I read it's pretty pointless in small batches especially in a nano.)

Livestock:
-2 black A. ocellaris (pretty sure they're a bonded pair at this point, have stuck together since the beginning pretty much)
-Watchman Goby
-Tobacco Basslet
-2 Red Hermits
-3 Dwarf Red-tipped hermits
-2 Astrea snails
-3 or 4 Nassarius snails (am beginning to think one died recently, have only seen three at a time in the last week or so)

Corals:
-Xenia (is it considered a coral? forgot..)
-GSP ($5 frag I bought two days ago)

Onto the pictures (don't mind the Coralline-free back wall, recently Plasti-dipped the glass back wall):

I don't understand why SCR is telling me 240kb pictures are too large when it's not even hosted on SCR... Picture upload feature seems really buggy. After I click Host it nothing happens.

Update:

I guess SCR is cool with hosting all my pictures and Photobucket one's are too large? Confusing.. haha

Haha, you're right about the IE. Used to live in Riverside once upon a time. Haven't dared to go back since. But thanks for the offer. If I do happen to be in the area and remember, I'll PM you.
