Anyone know where I can get torches for a reasonable price?

I have been looking for torches for a good price for a while now but it is impossible even the small colonies are like $150?

Don't get me wrong, if I paid $100 for a coral and retail now is $150, I'm probably going to want a coral in trade or a little pocket change... But I'll probably throw in a few cheap corals for free

Exactly. Everyone has different price points for their stuffs.

X2 on this. I just picked up a 2-3head dragon soul for 200$ cad. Most stores here are 200 a head. They even have raffles on local coral groups.

Well, the OP said $150 is still too much for a small “colonies”.

Sadly this is just how much corals seem to cost living in Ontario. Lots of stores have torches and all the higher end ones sell for over 200$ a head. Even a regular green torch is $100. Since moving to the other side of the country I've found a lot of local reefers that sell them for $40-60 a head. Still not the prices they used to go for but too many people are out there trying to capitalize on this hobby.

I hope someday we as a group get to a point where we are trading with each other not for profit but for the joy of the companionship and helping others achieve success! Oh sorry I fell asleep and was dreaming.

You're hanging out with the wrong crowd.

This mentality is very much Alive and well.

I take beer in trade. The catch is that I have very expensive taste..

I just bought from the AquaSD sale and they had a couple of torches for $30 for one head. I believe that they're having another sale soon.
