    Hello,
    I'm looking to buy some SPS corals. I am looking at Birdsnest, Pocillapora, and other easier corals to take care of. I'm a beginner so some corals are out of the equation. If anyone has any corals for sale near the Des Moines Area or have any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Soft corals are in there too. I know they are good for a beginner like myself. Thanks!!!

    I've got several SPS as well.

    Blue-tip green slimer
    Rainbow stylophora
    Candy cane poccilapora
    Orange digi
    Garf bonsai
    meteor shower cyphastrea

    Really nice green candy-cane (LPS)
    A few zoas as well.

    I'm in West Des Moines also - about 15 min drive from Dave's house. So if you make the drive to his place - you're close to my place as well.

    Awesome!! This is cool that there are so many people willing to help a new reefer. I live down town so I am close enough. What are your prices??? I'm excited to add some more. I got married earlier this year and my tank took a back burner. I kept everything alive but didn't give it the attention it deserved. Then I lost power and so much died in August. I am trying to give it it's old glory back. Thanks so much! If you have any pictures you could text them to me 515-490-0609. Thanks again.

    That would work - however if you are going to Dave's house at 2:30 - I think that a more reasonable time would be 3:15-3:30. Its @15 minutes from Dave's house to my house. Dave's got 2 very nice tanks that you will want to drool over - so I don't think you can get out of there in less than a half hour :D

    My address is 1630 Greenbranch Circle, WDM
    Home phone: 515-222-0747
