new vendor posted, free shipping to Mobile area. Anyone ordered from them before? http://www.corals2go.com

i always used one of those bright little kid nets. On the sea wall, they never really go too far. If you don't want to snorkel for them, you could use a long handled minnow net and just run it down the wall and pull it up. You risk injuring one that way though. I probably saw 4-5 different kinds of ...

Please let me know before you order. One of the snails bit the dust, one i can't find and may have as well... the other two seem happy enough. I was thinking of adding another fish as well.

I bought this to try and add some more turbulence to my 75 but realized after ordering that the flow would be too little to help. It's brand new in the box. Sells for $25 roughly plus shipping on line. I'd consider trades of some zoas/palys, especially something red or yellow as i have a lot of gree...

The blennies are my favorite. Easily caught at the pass and have so much personality... didn't get down there this summer though.

Oh man, i would have liked to of gotten in on that. Could have split shipping!

I got 4 snails at Progressive... i think 2 are turbos and 2 astrea. They are doing a good job of taking out the algae on my back glass. Sorry to hear about your tank. I've never had that problem, knock on wood.

On purpose? You mean because they last forever and they won't make another snail sale?

Things like impurities in the salt that leave a brown ring on the mixing container, difficulty dissolving, inconsistent values in testing content, etc... I myself have not had any issues with it, but didn't want to make a purchase of something that was iffy. I am looking at petsmart online and see t...

Since i'm on a mission to get my tank straight again, i will soon be in need of salt. The last bucket i got was of IO Reef Crystals, but i have been reading some bad things about it. I got a heck of a deal on it though and i'm looking for some suggestions or sites that have good prices.

You may be right about buying some locally. jdmorgan, i appreciate the offer, but i had no luck with ceriths and nerites. I probably got the same pack as you from reefs2go. They did very little in my tank and pretty much just died out over a years time. At the same time, the turbos lived for years a...

Here are pics first thing this morning with them still open. The color is exactly the same as the colonies pictured above. I'm guessing it is about 4"x2".

Well, i only have a 75 and a fuge. At one time i had 4 turbos and a mess of cerith and nerites. The cerith and nerites did very little except die off within the year. The turbos did the best anyway and lasted a long time. I think the trochus are very similar? If i can get the tank back in to the sha...

I'll try to hold out I have sort of neglected my tank and am getting it back in shape. The corals are all fine but since the snails died off, algae has been moving in. Water changes and rock cleaning may keep it in check that long. Thanks.

OK, the larger of the colonies is claimed and should be gone in the morning. I will try to get a pic of the smaller one tomorrow when the lights come back on. Thanks!
