Looking to buy saltwater fish

Hello,



I was referred to this site by someone on IAA. 
I maintain 3 saltwater tanks for customers and all of them want more
fish! I'm really hoping I can find someone here wanting to offload some
fish as I do not trust the local stores much for freshwater fish let
alone saltwater - I would only consider Adams or Seascapes but would rather buy fish from healthy established tanks for my customers.



The main tank I need to stock up is a 200 gallon. I tore this one down
due to rampant cyano (resulting from NO WATER CHAGES FOR 3 YEARS) and
kept the LR and bioballs biologically active, it is now stable, has only
a 4" Yellow Tang that managed to survive 800ppm Nitrates. So I need to
stay away from similar shaped fish and fish with lots of yellow,
because I don't want to have to remove the tang unless I need to (if he
starts defending territory). I would like to find a nice mix of
reef-safe fish as I would like to leave the possibility open of making
this a reef system at some point in the future. So looking for a clown
pair, blue tang, powder blue tang, and I can't remember what else I
looked at today but basically I'm open.



The second tank is a well established 125 reef very stable after much
work (Nitrates 0 and holding) currently with a Blue Tang, small pair of
clowns, large engineer Goby, med sand sifter Goby, Flame Fin Tang, and a
Green Mardarin. They want some schooling fish like Green or Blue
Chromis and they also want a Yellow Tang.



The third tank is a 125 FOWLR with a big dog-faced Puffer, two 3-striped
damsels and a third damsel that has the extra stripe on the tail so
he's not a 3 stripe but I digress...that tank was overrun with Cyano and
I've got it under control and cleanup crew doing well but new LR is
growing green hair algae like crazy. Would like some algae munchers
like a Yellow Tang but also want a variety of other fish. This one also
had 600ppm Nitrates at one point (had no skimmer, and again no PWCs)
and after 6 months I'm still working it down, hovering between 40 and 80
usually. I don't think I'm going to worry about making this one a reef
tank so anything goes.



I prefer to find someone relatively close to the Des Moines area as I
don't have much time to travel around to get fish to stock these tanks.
Please contact me if you have anything and I will consider distance for the
right fish and right price!!



Thanks!



Bud
