    from petco
    not the first time i have saved livestock from petco but the first coral
    nice sized bubble coral and the only reason i went for it was because it was priced pretty good
    there was no time to clean the glass :p

    incoming!

    anyways all is good upgrading tank soon to a 20 high ;D
    return pump and overflow are on the way ;)
    and the sump is done :kiss:

    congratulations on the new addition glad it found a good home.

    however now with a question and statement for you. if you have a standard bio cube with pc lights then did you really rescue as you put it as this is the same lighting that petco has? what i am getting at is basically why do people feel the ned to say the rescued items from petco yet when they shiop else where say hey look at this new addition.

    I find petco to really be a hit or miss. Some times they have awesome live stock. Got an eel from there had it for 2 months before i traded it in. there no refund policy sucks tho you would think a large store would allow refunds before a small mom and pop store.

    Sean maybe you could try knowing what he has before you accuse him of having his corals under pc lights.Its right in the signature that he has MH.What is happening to 3reef?It used to be really positive and now its getting just like other forums with people criticizing everyone else's tanks like they're the only one that knows anything.
