Hey guys this is the new store for those of you who have not made it out to see........ we are have been up and running for two weeks.
Fish tanks and small coral beds are cycled and we are just ready to start the cycle on the new larger coral beds.

We have setup two QT systems one for fish and one for corals.

The new coral beds are 72''x36''x12'' and an 8'x24"x24'' sump
Which is retuned with the Tunze Master Electronic 1073.090
Two 6105 Tunze pumps in one bed and two MP40's in another for flow and over 1000GPH of return in each tank.
Skimmer is the Alpha 250
lighting is all MH for now.

Our three fish systems are returned with the tunze silence pumps and 6015 power heads.
Skimmers are IN280 skimmers + Bubble magnus.


Happy reefing folks come on in to visit and say Hi to J.J and Brenda.
sorry this took so long but we have been very busy building.

I'm located in East Bay, Cape Breton and would rather not ship him. Pick up or meeting can be arranged.

Asking $40 OBO, or trade for LR or other sw fish or inverts.





ETA: Also selling pistol shrimp. I like him, but I think he already ate one of my peppermint shrimp and I'm afraid for the rest!
$15 or trade, as above.

First my convict tang who may need a new home (if anyone has a large enough tank and would like to make an offer! Lol)



My lawnmower blenny who I rarely see, but when the camera comes out he does too, and he poses on the rocks for me.


My decorator crab, who is pretty cool.


And my absolute pride and joy, my mated pair of percula clowns:

Is this little guy...




...a pistol shrimp? Sorry for the bad pictures, I tried to snap the first one as soon as I put him in the tank before he got to digging under the rocks.

He was sold to me as a "lobster" with the tank I just got last night but someone suggested he may be a pistol shrimp. I did some research and that seems to fit -- I was told that he does make a loud clicking sound and he's been digging under all of my rocks. Also we were supposed to have two peppermint shrimp but only arrived home with one! He has been living in that tank for 6 months, arrived as a hitchhiker on some LR. I believe that 2 peppermint shrimp were in there the whole time with him too though.]]>
