    I'm slowly getting back into the hobby after being out for a bit. Picked up a Red Sea Reefer 170 and Red Sea 90 LED. Going with a anemone tank, anyone with leads on a Colorado sunburst or Chicago sunburst let me know. Will be looking for one in a few months.

    Bulk Reef Supply Acquires Marine Depot

    Wow, once they had the infusion of capital I had a feeling they would be making moves but I didn't see this coming. Looks like they are taking a page from the earlier days of Amazon. I'm actually sad because I would cross-shop them often. More competition only leads to better pricing for the...

    Thanks ff22 for the info, I'll make sure to take the necessary safety precautions. Hopefully the SeaKlear will work but at least I have a backup in case that doesn't.

    Curing rock in bleach turned blue?

    Curing rock in bleach turned blue?

    Hey everyone, I'm going to restart another tank and I'm bleaching all my rock beforehand. Most of it has been soaking for a few weeks now and noticed today that some of the rocks are blue. I've searched around and can't find a straight answer and thought I would check with everyone. This is...
