    Looking for keepers of Tanks in restaurants. or other stores that want coral.   I've tried to sell them but not many buyers.  If they go to a public display tank I will donate them.  Here are the links to the sale threads with pics and what i have.

    I would like to know where the tanks are so I can check them out to see if the coral will work for the tanks.   For the welso brains I will be very picky on where they go.
    I know once you get the coral I can't tell you what to do with them but if I give them up for a public display tank It should stay there.

    I service a large restaurant tank here in Cedar Falls at the PIPAC Center. Its about 200gal. Its 10' long about 3' tall and the inside dimension is 10.5". Its built into a curved wall above the bar. I have about 200lbs of live rock and some fish. That's all. The tank is lit with T5s, maybe halides in the future if they want to fit the bill for it. I would love to put some corals in the tank but would probably be limited to the hardy LPS and softies to start with. I recently rescaped the tank with one big wall in the center to give more space closer to the lights to support coral growth.

    Isn't there a library in Muscatine that's being set up and possibly looking for stuff?

    I take care of the UNI tank and I would love to put those corals in there! It's a 220 gallon mixed reef with 4 250w halides and pc actinics. There's tons of sand room for all those brains! Let me know if a school tank is still considered "public"!
