Pmed about RBTA

Hey everyone, currently looking for these 2 macroalgae. Located in Garden Grove but willing to drive.

Update Time: Had a pretty nasty ugly phase, hair algae everywhere. Ended up picking up 15 astrae and 4 trochus snails, they have been doing an amazing job eating the diatoms and hair algae. Still some remnant of it but it's finally at a place where I don't feel ashamed to share lol. Equipment...

Thank you for the heads up, was planning to pick up a mandarin. Even better that they are on pellets

Just picked up mine, looking good 👍

I've been looking into acclimating mollies to salt too. Best advice i've gotten is from aquarium co op, the adults will always have a hard time adjusting and will just slowly die. It's the babies that are born in saltwater will have a much better success rate. So maybe slow acclimate the adults...

I came from scape, nice people over there too

Thank you! I've always loved playing with rock work/ hardscape on the freshwater side. Decided to take that and apply it here

Thank you! Im really excited for the new learning journey and challenge, I felt like I had gotten the planted/ high tech side of freshwater down pretty good. I've always wanted a pair of clowns, fire fish and bengal for sure. Other than that, i'm still looking around. That's a good idea...

Thank you for the kind words, and even more thanks for your kind gesture!

Hey everyone, I recently decided to take the plunge from freshwater planted to saltwater. I originally wanted to just do a fowlr tank. However after curiously looking at beginner corals, I fell in love with things like pulsing xenia, zoas and some of the mushrooms. I bought a used im 25g lagoon...

Thank you! Those stores aren't too far, but I don't mind the drive if they are good quality.

Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for. I knew other stores sell premixed, but wanted to know which would be the trustworthy/best from people in the hobby.
