Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
If you don’t mind ordering online, I recommend checking out Biota. I got my filefish from them to ensure I was getting the correct species—not something that looks similar but doesn’t touch aiptasia.
Be prepared, though—the fish will arrive tiny. I kept mine in a separate breeder box for nearly...
I understand that, and this isn’t the first time I’ve had issues with shipping in general. I also get that UPS isn’t always the most careful. However, most vendors I’ve ordered from take extra precautions, like bagging the specimen or container cup as an additional barrier. This helps prevent...
Unfortunately did not, however, this is within NJ which i have never had issues with and also that is why i advised picking up vs shipping in my initial post. I am trying to work this out with him via email at the moment, but will see. definitely not a vendor i will be going back to in the...
If you're planning to order from him, I strongly recommend picking up your items in person. I decided to order based on positive mentions from other members and the good holiday sales he had, but my experience so far has been terrible.

I used to use Chemi-Pure, but it’s...
might want to cross post this at humble fish forums, they might have better knowledge on what the issue may be. too me, it looks fungal of some sort but can't say for sure.

i'd take a raging rama as well!
ill take a june ruby and birdsnest.
Without knowing the amount of coral in your tank, it’s best to start with a low dose—10 ml should be fine. Test alkalinity daily at the same time, preferably in the evening, since alk levels can fluctuate throughout the day. Consistent timing minimizes reading variations and reduces the risk of...
I’ve been using the AiPai A7 Kessil clones for over a year now as supplemental lighting on my tank, and they’ve worked great. The initial setup was a bit challenging, but once everything was running, it’s been smooth sailing. I considered switching to the A8se Radion clones, but honestly, I ran...
