    Hidden Reef

    Sad indeed. Sounds as bad as when the Chinese restaurant in their same (hidden) strip mall caught fire and put them out of business for 6+ months. That event cost them all the livestock they had in the store, and totally water damaged everything else. At lease that first event resulted in...

    Alternative to BRS Rox .8 carbon

    Reading this thread brought back an old chuckle to me. Many, many years ago (when the group was more northerly-NJ-centric than it is today) we engineered a Group Carbon Buy. Each buyer purchased a 40-lb bag of the no-commercial-name stuff. I was involved with the pre-purchase testing as I had...

    Pithos crabs

    Wouldn't it be cheaper just to get new rock for your new build? With the new rock in, you could do whatever is necessary to kill all the bubble algae on the nano rocks and put them in the new build when they are clean.

    Fish from NY Aquatic

    Indeed, it sure would be nice if Michael kept new arrivals in his systems for two weeks before he offered them for sale. But that would put him two weeks behind the curve on his income...

    150 borbonius

    It must be noted that "you know where" has strict guarantee limits on 20+ specimens they consider to be "restricted-expert only". That means that if your "expert only" fish is dead in the bag when it arrives, you can get a refund. But if your "expert only" fish dies in your tank 2 days later...

    Shipping Weirdness

    Earlies this week I, and a fellow reefer, placed an fish & invert order with NYAquatic. The dollar total was $400. NYAquatic is in Yonkers. They ship via UPS Nest Day Air for $22. The $22 shipping is less than I would pay for gas and tolls to go there myself - I'm an hour away in North...

    TSM Aquatics

    The first order I placed with them was for 8 Dispar Anthias. One came in dead and with a photo they quickly issued me a credit. I discovered the credit had an expiration when I went to place my second order. My second order arrived OK. I now have an order there waiting for me to pick it up...

    The Newest ReefBot Lab?

    I didn't pull the trigger. The seven tests I was interested in were going to take total of 14 vial slots. If I had known that RHF was going to tell us all to ignore testing Magnesium, then I could have eliminated 3 vial slots and been under the 12 vial limit of the new Bot. So it goes...

    WTB: Berghia Nudibranchs

    Absolutely Fish (Clifton) says they can order them for you. I think what they want is a bit pricey. I recently bought some from Reeftown ( ReefTown, Berghia Nudibranchs for saltwater aquariums | Eliminate and kill Aiptasia Anemones naturally ). I paid $127 for three larger than an inch...

    WTB: Clams

    Sea Level Aquarium got in five large (5to6") Maximas about a month ago. The price was too good to pass up. (I got one.) They're gone now, but they were $200 each. For some reason Salty Underground also got a surprising number of large ones at about the same time. Their best looking ones are...

    Territorial fish vs dominance

    An Aggressive and/or Dominant and/or Territorial fish tends to be a fish that in the wild is protecting their feeding territory from interlopers that happen to have the same dietary requirements that they have. This, in terms of our tanks, means that a fish (such as a tang) that needs a...
