Welcome To NJRC! Take a minute to introduce yourself

Exotic Reefs of NJ

Exotic Reefs of NJ

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Tom and I initially started a marine maintenance and setup business out of my residence here in Bergen County, New Jersey a couple years ago. I have 17 years of experience in marine aquatics and I initially kept the business privatized as I did not want to grow too big, too fast at first because I also work in law enforcement as my full time job. Well one thing has led to another and it did grow and I am having a lot of fun doing it that I would like to contribute to the hobby and start supplying high end coral such as ORA, ReefGen, etc. fish and equipment to the community.

I have a legally registered business with the State of NJ and centrally located in Bergen County, NJ. I will be dealing in livestock specifically corals, some fish and when requested an assortment of brand new equipment.

I will be dealing with frags, colonies in different sizes and some semi-rare pieces that are offered from time to time from Australia, Bali, Indonesia and Jakarta. Acropora, Aussie Acans, Chalices, and Montipora with reasonable prices for the growing reefer population to keep them happy and coming back to build their reefs with the hard to find stuff at a decent price and try to give the buyer a chance to enjoy something that they don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me at ExoticReefsofNJ@gmail.com with whatever it might be that you’re looking for whether it be live coral or equipment.

Everyone...my name is Dominick and I reside here in Bergen County. Grew up having fish as a hobby (I guess being a Pisces is also a bonus!!). I did almost every type from regular, to brackish water, cichlids, discus, etc....and then moved into salt when I was 18..... And that was over 20 years ago.

I ran a 20g tank FOWLR setup back when under gravel filtration was a preferred method with a HOB as a supplement. Made a mistake of not having a hospital tank, treated a disease, and then everything went down hill after that. Fast forward to today where I am married with a 3 year old. Wanting to get her into the hobby after her love for Finding Nemo...I decided to jump back in. ALOT has changed since then....

Been dealing with Absolutely Fish in Clifton ( nice group of people to deal with) for essentials with a new tank setup, with buying other stuff from Bulk Reef and Aqua cave. I had been following and posting on Reef Central during the past month, and learning a lot to try and clean the cob webs off my 20 year hiatus. Hooked up with Brando457 to buy a used pump recently, and he told me about exotic reefs of NJ. That was great news because I am getting ready to cycle my tank, and would much rather give my business to a fellow LEO.

Brando457 was very helpful and a great guy to deal with. I will start to monitor/post here more often as well as Reef Central. With a busy lifestyle/work schedule I am gonna try to get involved more locally with this club, but it's gonna be a bit tough since I am on the executive board/ past president for the Lotus car club at the National level.

Anyway I look forward to being more of a regular here. Wish me luck with my new 65g mixed reef setup.

Dom

Hi!

My name is Bill and I have been keeping a 180 gallon freshwater tank for the last 2 years. My wife thinks it looks like a swamp and wants more color. I will be converting it to a reef sometime in the next few months. Hopefully I can pick up a few tips here.

Bill, nicely done! I'd go with a couple water lilies and some colorful frogs for that swamp to satisfy the wife.

My advice, if that doesn't work, dump the wife and go salt! :eek:

Welcome back Bill.

I was enjoying a quiet day on Bradley Beach and the smell of the ocean got to me! Nothing fancy planned, lots of soft corals like my first tank. I will be keeping my wife, at least until after my daughter's upcoming wedding.
