What's New!

3/10/2010:   Saltwater Aquariums are EASIER than Freshwater!
For my current customers, you already know this is true but lately I've heard WAY too many new people say they thought saltwater was more difficult and more work than a freshwater tank.  I want to yell this from the roof-tops!  Saltwater CAN be more work IF it's not set up correctly.  If you are considering a saltwater tank I recommend you check out my "How To Setup an Easy Successful Reef Aquarium" as well as Customer Testimonials".  Best of all, if you can, stop in & see for yourself the beauty of my tanks & let me show you how easy it really is!  If you are from "away" & can't stop in know that I'm here to help  you as well.  Just e-mail me any questions not already answered on the web site.

Reefing Tip – W/E  3/13  Adding Trace Elements

To add trace elements or not….’tis a BIG question for many hobbyists.  If you’re prone to researching things on-line you’ve probably run into conflicting recommendations on this & every other subject.  This hobby can be awfully confusing…especially to newcomers. 

I’ve always maintained that a huge part of my own success has been 10% weekly water changes using a high quality salt like Tropic Marin Pro Reef which replaces necessary trace elements used by the tank inhabitants.  Yes, our natural reefs have certain levels of trace elements but do you know what level your tank has after dosing?!  Most are too high which many times results in disaster!  I do not dose as I’ve learned the hard way that dosing is basically playing with a tank’s water chemistry which almost always has negative results over time.  If you’ve got mostly soft corals, even with some stonies, water changes are all you need to do!  Do yourself & your tank a favor & stick to your water changes & don’t skimp on salt quality.  No other salt comes close to the quality of Tropic Marin.  Will it be “Captain Crunch” cereal or “Total” for your corals folks?  ;c)

AquaCorals is fully stocked with Tropic Marin Pro Reef Salt.  Be kind to your reef & get yours today!

Old Fashioned Cash & Checks Preferred...
I am often asked by local customers whether I prefer credit cards, cash or checks.  The answer is cash & checks are better because all stores pay a fee on every sale paid for by a credit card.  Paying by cash & checks helps keep costs down.  If no choice...Visa & Mastercard are always welcome.  :0)


Baby Coral Exchange Program:  Last Update:  2/10

NEW 5 Piece Limit on Mounted Corals

Due to the large numbers already in stock, I must put limits on the number of and the species of mounted corals I can accept at this time.  The new limit is 5 flesh attached specimens per customer per week.  This includes LPS & SPS corals as well.  Unmounted frags are limited at 10 pieces.  Each coral must meet the guidelines listed below.  No exceptions.  If you have more than 5 of a truly rare/pretty coral, please e-mail me & send pictures before packing them up and see if I can take more.  My tanks are literally stuffed right now & I have corals waiting to be cut here too!
This is a GREAT result of so many of you having successful tanks!  :c)

I still cannot accept... Gold/Brown & Neon Green Capnella & Gold/Brown Zoos.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make Some $ & Support your Reef Addiction....Umm I mean Hobby.  :0)
A wonderful result of a thriving reef tank is that your corals will GROW...right out of your tank if left unchecked.  At some point you'll be forced to harvest some of that growth.  Instead of throwing away what you cut, make babies & make $!  Bring in your baby corals based on the guidelines listed below & buy anything you like in the store whether live or dry goods.  :0)  You'll also be helping to save a reef!

  1. Rock bases must be at least 3 inches ALL corals.

  2. Mushroom rocks need 2+ polyps per rock & not glue dependent!  Must be tissue attached.

  3. Polyps such as Zoanthids & Cloves need a minimum of 5+ polyps per rock

  4. Soft corals must be a minimum of 3+ inches (branching or matting species), fully tissue attached, binders removed & not glue dependent.

  5. SPS cuttings must be a minimum of 2+ inches, FIRMLY tissue attached to rock or suitable reef substrate.

  6. Corals with nuisance algae, macro algae &/or aptasia will not be accepted

  7. Monies must be used at the time the corals are brought in.

The above guidelines have been established for the success of every hobbyist who buys our corals.  Given the large amount of water flow inside our tanks, smaller rocks easily tumble.  Corals not tissue attached will many times detach during shipping.  Let's make those babies & show people what "Made In Maine" quality is all about!  :c)

Rubble Rock:  I have inexpensive rock that can be purchased then broken to make your own rubble to mount your cuttings on.  I also have specialized "plugs" for sale that will fit light diffuser grid holes for those of you needing to glue SPS, Gorgonians etc.

Got coral frags?...but don't want to take up the space or the time & hassle to mount?  Bag them up, bring them in & receive $ for each!  Note:  ALL coral frags must be fully healed to be accepted.

For those looking to try their hand at propagating I offer free "How To" advice.  :0)

Unmounted Coral Frags Available For Sale!
Unmounted coral frags are also available for purchase in-store!  Colorful SPS, Mushrooms, Zoanthids, Polyps and more.  Individual prices are listed on the frag tanks.  Come in & check them out!  :0)
