anyone need to frag sps?

[Benny Z]

willing to take sps frags off the hands of any willing donor.

my gain = your loss

no, wait...that's not right!

:lol:

but seriously, looking for sps frags. willing to pay cash or trade for softies.

I've got a orange monti cap I could probably get a frag off of, I've also got a frag of really nice green birds nest (mounted). I'm sure that i've got others, but can't think of what right now. LMK if your interested.

[fkdenton]

If your willing to drive a little there is a guy from st louis that always has alot to frag. I think he goes by stlouisguy.

[Benny Z]

i already have a piece of orange monti cap, but would definately be interested in the green birds nest.

i believe dwight is right up i-55 from bloomington, correct?

i really don't want to drive to st. louis for frags. with the cost of gas i could probably purchase full colonies online and have them shipped for the same price.

:D

I'd also be intrested in a frag fo green birdsnest.

Me and Ben could there together or something.

[schmoeger6]

Benny, your correct. It takes me right at 40 minutes to get from my house to The Mad Reefer. I know i've got some small frags of pink Birds nest also. Probably could get you some other encrusting SPS's if you are interested. . . Oh and I still have a couple frags of Zoo's as well if interested.

Brad, I will have to see what I can come up with when I get home. I bought 2 frags a while back(couldn't resist, they are too cool), and they have a much better growth rate than I expected. That is why I would let 1 go, but I will look and see if I could get you a small frag off of the 1 i'm keeping

[Benny Z]

if things work out, brad and i will plan to come see your tank.

is tmr the closest worthy store to you from here? just wondering if we should stop in anywhere else on the way to/from your place.

when's a good time for you?

thanks again!

I have some SPS available if you get up to Peoria.
LMK if your interested

[Benny Z]

drats! i was just in p-town last weekend.

will let you know the next time i head over that way. i have family over that way so we do make it over there every now and again.

[schmoeger6]

Ben, Really the only 2 places I go are TMR for fish, and Rods Reef (1 hour north) for all my corals, or buy from other reefers. There really isn't anything worth while near me. I'll check with the wife and see when we'll be home, and let you know.

Have you checked out Chicago Reptile House in Orland Park.

I've never been to CRH. Do they have a good selection of corals? I guess i've kinda grown impartial to Rod's, I get all over Chicago and the burbs for work and have stopped at countless LFS, IMO there is nothing else around that compares. Very modest store,excelent selection, unbeatable prices, and a mind bogaling amount of knowledge, but i'm always open to checking out a new LFS.

[schmoeger6]

Ben, I will be home Thursday after 6:00, Saturday after 3:00, or anytime on Sunday. If you want to give me a call my # is (815) 998-2750 or cell # (630) 531-5040

Thanks, Dave

[Benny Z]

i'll talk to brad tomorrow and get back to you. will probably shoot for this weekend if he is available. i'll give you a ring. thanks!

[brad23]

I should be, I don't have any plans as of now. I'll talk with you about it more tomorrow.

[schmoeger6]

I'm not sure yet if I have to work Sat, if I don't I will be home all day Sat. I'll know for sure tomorrow.

I think it would be worth the trip to check it out. If your out that way. I've never been to Rods to compare.

Oddly enough, just happened to stop in their today, as I've been hunting around while deciding how to dive into a salt tank. He has some really nice stuff, and is friendly and knowledgable. It's not too bad a drive (from my residence in Normal, it is about 110 miles).

[Benny Z]

welcome to cima!

dave - you have a voicemail

[schmoeger6]

Ben, I keep getting me e-mail returned, so I PM'd you directions

[brad23]

Thanks for the frags, the green birds nest looks great. One of the best greens I've seen in person.

[Benny Z]

yes, thanks a lot! my pieces opened up immediately in the tank.

[schmoeger6]

Ben & Brad Thank you, it was nice meeting you both. Glad you liked the frags.
