    We're doing a group buy from Blue Zoo soon. I plan on having it shipped Tuesday for Wednesday morning delivery. The main reason I need some fish is to take care of an aiptasia problem. Blue Zoo sent out a newsletter a while back talking about two new fish that are better at resolving the problem than the copperband butterfly. These two fish will actually want to eat aiptasia, not just resort to them like copperbands. Check the article out for more info. Orders due Monday night.

    I know it's free shipping after $140 which won't be a problem, but is there any other coupons out there? I know there's a 10% off coupon, is it still FB0309 or is it a one time use coupon?

    OK I just double checked, that coupon still takes 10% off, so we have 10% off and free shipping.

    Doesn't matter, you can post it on here too. There's always the chance that you'll post something on here that someone close wants to get rid of. Also, sometimes there's compatibility problems that you're unaware of. I'll post what I'm getting here...

    My order alone is close to that, we will have a couple hundred dollars to clear the free shipping already. No problem with that, thanks though.

    Just to let you know, I bought a pair of those filefish on DD and they are eating aiptasia. I have a new account that was overun by them and they seem to be making a pretty big dent in the 500 or so that are/were in the tank (180)

    Just one starfish? After you posted that I was going to tell you to get a few. I thought about getting a harlequin shrimp and I was going to find the cheapest place to buy chocolate chip stars and buy a dozen. I would keep them in the sump and once a week I'd cut one of their legs off to feed, this way by the 13th week when it came back around to that 1st starfish, he'd have his leg regenerated. Not sure if you'll be able to keep up with feeding if you only get one... Be prepared to have to buy more in the future, it's the only thing they eat.
