    Lights for sale, AI Hydra 52 and Kessil Blue A80s

    Hi all, apologies if this is in the wrong place and needs to be moved. I have 3-4 AI Hydra 52 lights that I don’t need anymore. I bought them in 2014 but they’ve had their power supplies replaced in the last year. All work fine to grow coral. I’ll attach a pic of the tank they were on. I...

    Free Thompson's tang to good home

    Hi all, I have an 8" Acanthurus thompsoni that has outgrown a 100g corner tank. If you want it, and have a large reef system suitable for caring for it, he's all yours. I will arrange delivery to you if you're near Walnut Creek, SF, or somewhere in between. FYI this animal is NOT...

    RO membrane and DI resin, free for you

    I'm a dunce and ordered a spare 90gpd RO membrane and a bunch of DI resin from Spectrapure. I have not had a home RO/DI system in over 6 years and somehow completely forgot these products have a shelf life. So, I'd rather give them away than go through the hassle of sending them back. If...

    FREE, 2 Aquatainer jugs

    I have 2 Aquatainer jugs from Cabela's that were shipped to me on accident. Cabela's said keep them (shipping them back isn't worth the cost I guess). First person who wants them can come get them. Just reply to this thread to claim them. You'll need to pick them up in SF, I work...

    Good place to window shop for tanks?

    I've come to the conclusion that if I'm setting up a tank I've got to see the thing in person first instead of ordering online. Any places in the Bay that have a good stock of smaller aquariums laying around? I'm specifically looking for something glass, rimless, open top, with a built in...

    SF tap water--how do you treat?

    I'm thinking I could just go with DI and/or GAC to make up some water at home. So what does everyone in SF use to make up their water? Full blown RO/DI seems a bit overkill for a 20-30g tank with LPS and softies...

    CAS Donation Hall of Fame

    Hi all, I recently started what I hope will be a bit of a tradition of taking photos of coral donations that people have given to us. Both as a way to acknowledge these great gifts that we depend on, but to also show what kind of growth is possible to accomplish in captive corals. I'm...

    FREE Coral Rubble from the Steinhart Aquarium

    Hi all, we have a whole pallet of surplus coral rubble. This is large pinky knuckle sized chunks that are composed entirely of calcium carbonate. You can take as much as you want for free. Right now I have about 30 gallons of it but will have much more soon. PLEASE DO NOT reply to this...

    Coral to donate for high school project?

    Hi guys, a local high school sophomore is interested in doing a study to test the effect of MS-222 (a fish anesthetic) on coral tissue. I promised I'd help him out with advice, info, etc. If anybody has a coral you're no longer interested in that you'd be willing to donate to this project...

    Does this seem crazy to anyone else?

    "Eligible to purchase"? I expect minimum orders from wholesalers, but not retailers. Is this typical nowadays? This guarantees I will never even peruse the site again--was strongly considering purchasing a few but what's the point? Maybe if there was further explanation I would...

    Anybody have an old Berlin Airlift skimmer laying around?

    I'm looking for one for a small tank at work. Normally I wouldn't ask but I figure someone's gotta have one of these collecting dust in their garage they'd rather get rid of. It has to fit in a corner behind our plastic backing so space is limited, about 4" x 4" footprint. Thanks!

    More free crap--working Laptop computer

    My GF has a Compaq laptop that she bought in 2005. Looks to be in good shape. The only thing wrong we can figure out with it is that the wireless internet won't work no matter what we do. Otherwise she says it works great and will work if you directly connect it to DSL/cable. So, if you...

    Masago/Capelin Roe UNSEASONED/UNDYED

    Free Stuff for you....giddyup!

    Hey BAR, I have a "box o' junk" that's been sitting in my closet for the last 2 years and is a regular topic of conversation with my significant other. If you would like to come get it for yourself, or bring it to the BAR meeting for newbies that need cheap stuff, it is all yours...

    Interested in Volunteering at Steinhart?

    Hello all, BAR has helped us out tremendously in our recent opening process, from backbreaking labor to donations of some choice corals. We can't thank you enough for your generosity! Things have started to slow down for us here at the Academy and we're finally able to "catch our breath"...
