    Why are so many LFS closing? Is the hobby shrinking?

    Bingo!! I believe the secondary market is the cause of this: craigslist, ebay and local reef groups. Example, many hobbyists can find used items and livestock particularly frags for a much cheaper price and even trade amongst each other for free, Meanwhile local shops wanna charge you $80 for a...

    Mysterious Midas Blenny Death

    I've had a midas blenny for almost 3 years, i noticed it had one eye problem for the past 45 days or so where it gets a bit cloudy and scratched but reheals again. But my clown tang constantly harasses him so may have scratched his eye perhaps? Well then today i found him dead on the sand, but...

    Pacific Reef

    I've noticed that prices are never consistent at every store around So Cal, i think it just comes down to stores trying to make a quick buck but no sustainability or being a store that aims for fair prices with consistent cash flow but lower margins. Seriously i hate it when stores dont really...

    Pacific Reef

    Yeah Pacific Reef seems to be struggling lately, I remember their original store in Anaheim, i thought it was so cool and so packed with livestock! then it was sold to other people and went under twice as well. Then their orange one closed too, never saw that one and now the Fountain Valley one...

    Tongs

    I doubt the fish deaths have anything to do with Tongs, that store prob has the most foot traffic in all of OC, so its normal to have a noticeable percentage of people complain of fish deaths. They seem to get a new shipment of fish every week and thats why i like Tongs. If your looking for a...

    Red Flag Melanarus Wrasse!

    when my melanarus sleeps in the sand then is suddenly disturbed they kind of sleep walk and sometimes bumps into a corner breathing fast. Maybe one of your rocks shifted while they slept? any digging animals in your tank?

    two of my expensive fish died

    Were they fighting, Sohals are pretty aggressive. Cyanide poisoning may have damaged their immune and digestive systems if cyanide was used to catch them. Also check your powerheads and any wires sometimes a stray voltage can give mild shocks to the fish.

    LED lighting

    I've used 2 Kessil A150's 10k spectrum for almost 2 years this Novemeber, and then just bought one more Kessil A350W to put in the center of them this June. I love them they render shimmer and color beautifully and coral growth is great. Zoas/Palys grow like wildfire and LPS perk up nice and...

    Killing zoas again! (Zoas been closed for weeks)...help!

    I think your problem is low iodide/iodine, ive had the same problem of zoas closing and melting about a year ago, and if you research you'll find iodide helps when bright light causes the zoallanthae to over produce oxygen which irritates the zoa skin when it cannot regulate that. Your crabs...
