um i tink that is it are u keeping a reef tank.

[coopdogyo]

i will keep coral that are good for my light which do you suggest.

[reefnoob1991]

So by 4 65 watt do you mean 260 watts altogether or just 4 bulbs combined for 65 watts? If you're gonna have 260 watts you'll be able to keep a wide range of soft and LPS corals

[blind1993]

u can keep a bta. or frogspawn. but start out with mushes.

[reefnoob1991]

Make sure you have your tank established for a couple months before deciding to get any anemones.

[blind1993]

yea i forgot to metion taht .

[e_baer]

yeah, i agree, get mushrooms to start out wiht, maybe some easy polyps. and if they last a month or 2 then you could consider getting a few more corals. if the tank isnt set up yet, you wont want to get any mushrooms for a couple months (2-3) and when you are ready to get mushrooms, PM me.

[reefnoob1991]

E baer let me see your mushrooms available to sell

[e_baer]

im fraggin them, they wont be ready for selling for about a month. but here is where i fragged from.


and this is how im fraggin them:

[reefnoob1991]

Ohhhhh i'm guessing those green ones glow at night I want some! lol

[e_baer]

under actinics they do. they are called green bullseys mushrooms. under blue LED moonlights theyll glow a little, but not a whole lot. they dont get as big as the red onsed thouhg. the red ones get like 2"-3" across.

[reefnoob1991]

And they will be how much to sell? Are you sure those are bullseye mushrooms? Cause I have bullseyes and they look like this.

[e_baer]

those could be the red bullseye if there is such a thing. im not sure how much to sel lthem for, what do you think is a good price? and should i include shipping in the price of have the buyer pay shipping?

[reefnoob1991]

I'm buying from fishguy and he's paying for half the shipping so he's still making a profit...and the mushrooms seem like a totally different body structure...I have mushrooms like the green ones but radioactive red so I believe they're a different name...

[e_baer]

how many shrroms and how much?

[reefnoob1991]

I mean I get them for 10$ a piece here...which is crap lol...I'd say 3$ a piece for a frag of one each

[e_baer]

alright so if i sold 5 for 20$ and that includes shipping, think that good?

[e_baer]

maybe 25$?

[reefnoob1991]

Well I checked overnight shipping from Texas (where fishguy is) and its 32$ overnight from DHL, UPS, and FedEx...so unless you have a miracle place to ship from isn't 25$ going to be jipping you so to say

[e_baer]

yup, it sure would be. but if the shrooms are only attatched so smallertrhan pebble peices or aragonitre, and just enought water for them to survie, think its still 32$? maybe if i make the price 40$ for 7 shrooms. 5 bullseye and 2 red. or something like that.

[e_baer]

or, maybe i can throw some polyps in there too. i got loads of polyps ill try to frag tomorrow.

[reefnoob1991]

K...gettin complicated now lol...

[reefnoob1991]

I just checked on a website...mine are bullseye mushrooms...how they have the ricordia look and the stuff on the outside...not like the regular mushroom coral.
