    UV Sterilizer

    I picked one of these as an extra in a trade a few years back. I've never used it, nor ever used one generally, so I can't tell much. I will post a pic later today. Free, or if you want to trade a frag, or some live sand that would be great - always looking to diversify my sand bed. But...

    Peppermint Shrimp behavior

    Just want to share what I thought was a really interesting anecdote re: Peppermint Shrimp stocking info and behavior. The "fine line between sex and murder" was the best part - "I began my project last year by creating a 55 gallon broodstock tank for the adult shrimpand placed as many as 28...

    Two (2) Mag-Drive Supreme 18 1800 GPH - Philadelphia - $75 each

    I have two Mag 18 pumps, and a box for one of them. $75 each. They should be opened up and cleaned, but otherwise are killer and work as they should. I ran them together as redundant sump pumps when I used to have my sump room in the basement. I'm in Philly, a couple of minutes off the BF and...

    250 watt MH kit, Philly

    I'm selling one single ended 250 watt metal halide retrofit. Someone was selling two of these kits which I bought. I planned on putting both over a 90 gallon I was setting up, but it turned out that the tank only needed one of the lamps. It's very penetrating as most good halide kits are, and...

    New build in the bedroom

    Here's some pics of the middle of the new build I'm doing in our bedroom. The top is a 55g reef display. The bottom is a 55g refugium display. The recess next to the fireplace happened to be 48" long and 14" wide so it made a nice fit. And there's a big walk-in closet right next to it where I...

    Very live Branch for trade

    I have about ten pounds of very live branch that I don't need and I'm sure someone would make better use of. Most has at least some coralline. I'm looking to for some type of waving LPS (cause that's what my wife likes) like gonipora, etc. Not a frag, something significant. I'm in Philly. I...

    For sale - Large Capacity custom skimmer - 200 to 2,000 gallsons

    I have a large skimmer to sell. It was custom built and can handle up to a 2,000 gallon system.

Now I'm restarting on a...
