Edit 8/18/22: See last message, closing group order since we have hit max capacity. Thanks! Starting a group buy to split the cost of overnight UPS--totally worth it for alive-on-arrival inverts. Pretty good selection currently. Please let me know if you want to join the group buy. I am...

Hi all, Any Evo owners running stock that want a backup sponge/filter media, see attached. NEVER USED! Pickup in Irvine Spectrum area or evenings in Ladera Ranch. Thanks!

Hi everyone! Cleaning up a bit. I have: 1. 4x hand-size CaribSea LifeRocks, never wet 2. 1 bag IO salt unopened 3. Mesh bag packed with bioballs, never wet Pickup in Irvine Spectrum area or evenings in Ladera Ranch. Thanks!

Pickup in Irvine, near Spectrum. Nice, big piece. Medium-slow grower. No aiptasia currently in tank. All fish purchased from Dr Reef Quarantined fish, so no fish diseases. Also free chunk of codium.

I have a beautiful DT Brotycladia that needs to be trimmed, because it is now shading my crocea. If anyone wants the stalk I'm going to cut and can make it to Irvine for pickup, let me know. Hate to toss it (unlike my codium and pompom that I toss by the handful!). It is growing well at a...

Hi all, The pulsing xenia accidentally spread to a hermit crab shell when the hermit changed shells and left it toughing the xenia. You know the rest of the story. If any one wants it, I'll bring it to my office in Irvine next to Spectrum for pick-up. The pulsing xenia is from...

ReefCleaners has updated their stock and has the elusive Pedersen shrimps and other good CUC: https://www.reefcleaners.org/aquarium-store/other-inverts/assorted-anemone-shrimp-detail I just did a group order last month, but I'm battling an Ulva outbreak in my tank and emeralds aren't doing...

Hey everyone, In case you're not following along in the other forum, there's a pretty nice raffle giveaway ending on Sunday for a CADE nano tank (30g display plus sump in stand, I think) + a bunch of other stuff to fill up the tank, including lighting, fish, corals, etc. Not trying to reduce...

Hi all, Reefcleaners has added a bunch of stock, and I need an emerald crab, turbos and a few other fun inverts. Anyone interested in splitting the shipping cost ($50) and adding their inverts/macro to the order? (@kevinar) Irvine/surrounding can pick up at Spectrum area when it arrives...

Have 2 mesh bags of Seachem Matrix that's been in the back of my IM Nuvo 10g AIO along with gulf rock rubble from TBS and gulf premium nano rock/sand from TBS in the DT. Been circulating since January. Need to clear out space in the AIO chambers, so free to good home. Mesh bags have some...

This post is half-joking. Only half, though. Caught this gorilla crab (unverified), FINALLY. I dunno, some people are into that sort of thing. If it makes it till tomorrow in its tupper, free to good sump! I only have an AIO. But funny enough, there is already a gorilla crab in my AIO return...

Disclaimer: sexies have been caught munching on stylo, trachy, hammer and octospawn. Suspected munching on pavona. Haven't gotten the third out yet, but I've got my eye on it. I'm happy to trade them to anyone with a tank that would work for them, i.e. nems, macros, softies and such. My tank...

My IM 10g currently uses a Y-split 2x 1/4" VCA RFG, one positioned low with long locline. Seemed to work fine early on, but as more stuff added to tank, flow seems to have gone down a lot on the inlet side. Attached pics. Would a single 1/2" VCA RFG or an IM Spinstream give better flow...

I hate to do this, but I need to consider trading my large green RFA (from Cultivated Reef) for a smaller, preferably green/greenish RFA. Mine is stunning--not the most colorful but great green and texture, and mostly, just a big show-off. Key word: big. It is too big for my office nano and is...

See title. Just curious. Just got my ReefCleaners order, so I'm good for now, but the pitho crab died and would like another nassarius. Not worth the shipping, but group orders would make smaller invert purchases more tolerable, no?

Hi all, New hitchhiker came out of my rocks today and caught him. See photos/video. It looks to me like Berghia rissodominguezi. Not much info about this online, except that it is phylogenetically and visually similar to the aiptasia-eating Berghia. Does anyone want to take this...

Hi all, I have 2 peppermint shrimp from my recent TBS purchase. No aiptasia in the tank from what I can tell, just a few curliques. Anyway, I want to go with rock flower anemones, so I am goving the peppermints away just to be on the safe side. Pickup will be in Ladera Ranch, and I will have...

Got some lovely premium Tampa Bay Saltwater live rock in today and have extra that needs to find a good home ASAP. I already took the ones with corals and neat sponges, but the remainders are also nice and have coraline and some sponges and, most importantly, the biodiversity. Both premium...

Been lurking here for a while, mostly checking out the buying/selling side, but figure I'd go ahead and get started with my new office tank. Tank: Innovative Marine Fusion 10g AIO cube Rock/Sand: Tampa Bay Saltwater Premium nano rocks and gulf sand Water: LFS bought, made from RODI + Red Sea...

Just learned about BJD. Hammer is not looking good. R2R folks say to treat with cipro asap. Anyone have aquarium cipro to get me started before I get it from chewy.com--likely will be too late for the hammer. Thanks!
