Reefers semi-close to Broomfield:
Does anyone have some really grungy, fresh live sand and/or cured live rock and/or super infested chaeto, lol? Maybe not like one big handful of aptasia (although that would be ok too, because I have some hungry peppermint shrimp), but something that might carry pods, brittle stars, worms and other delightful creepy crawlies? When I see people's tanks, I find myself more interested in the small life within than the large.
I'm not looking for just good bacteria, because I have that, but I recently moved everything from a 55 to a 90 gallon and appear to have lost ALL my pods, worms and maybe other stuff (tried the nighttime flashlight trick to find pods stuff and nada). I was not able to bring the sand over very carefully or quickly and I let it get pretty cold with no aeration. That said, I never did have visible stars, baby snails or worms, so it would be cool to get some.
If you have a piece of cured live rock, not base rock, WITH cool tiny stuff on it and maybe a few cups of fresh, garfy, grungy sand containing the above creatures or others, I would love to swing by and grab it. Not afraid of bristleworm. I would order this stuff online, but I would much rather give someone some holiday cash for it.
Let me know what you have, exactly how much you will charge and where you are located (I drive a cowboy limousine with 9 mpg so distance is important - focusing on Broomfield, Westminster, Thornton area). I don't have much in the way of trade except for a couple small freshwater tanks and chems, but do have some cash. THANKS and Merry Christmas/Happy Hannukah/Kwanza!
