ahh, thanks so much for letting me know!! @Woeday if youre willing to let me swing by and grab some bryopsis, feel free to pm me

Huh, thats weird! lots of people in the reviews using it for cold plunges and running it down as a low as 54. Will definitely check that out.

Hey all, managed to get my hands on this chiller (huge thanks to Srt4eric and Coral Reefer), but have been having some trouble getting to work. I'm looking to run the tank at around 60 degrees F, ambient is around 72. I've read the directions on trying to get the chiller to work, and it cooled a...

Hey all, hope you're doing well. Was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to get live plants, specifically seagrasses (ideally an eelgrass) and such. Thanks so much!

Hello all, finally starting my tank journal! I posted about my research in my welcome post, but I'll sum it up here because its been a while. I'm a high school student in the South Bay, and I'm doing research on Melibe leonina, a local species of sea slug! Since I last talked about this...

these are some gorgeous photos ! unfortunately I never ended up getting certified, went through the process a few years ago but was dealing with some nasty chronic pain/physical disability stuff at that time. I'm hoping to get back into diving now that I'm further along in my treatment though...

Thanks so much! good to know as well that there's potentially some chillers laying around :3 i appreciate the welcome I've gotten from everyone :D

What do you have? i'm super close to SJ, could def do pickup from there

What do you have? I'm able to drive up to sf.

I've looked into a couple different jbj chillers based on theoretical tank size. I'd be doing an AIO set up, either a 40 gal or 20 gal. The temp of the water would have to be around 19 C, so the two sizes I've looked at for chillers were the jbj 1/4 for a 40 gal, or the jbj 1/5 for a 20 gal...

Since I'll be raising them from egg clutches ideally, it'll start with just some algal cultures, but eventually the adults eat stuff like brine shrimp and other smaller critters since they're filter feeders. One of the reasons I picked them, a lot of nudis eat corals and sponges that just aren't...

Hi there! I'm a student in the local area working on researching invertebrates of the Northern Californian coast, specifically the species of nudibranch Melibe leonine. I’m looking to research the effect of marine heatwaves on their development, to get a better picture of what climate change may...
