Aquarium Enthusiasts Unite
I've been doing this off and on since I was 10 and now I'm 37. I have a red sea aquarium only now plus 2 fresh planted. I always read opinions from this form and brs youtube. I buy from saltwateraquarium.com due to location and great prices. The hobby has come a long way. I have funds but not the time to do coral grow outs. Maybe when I'm retired i can open shop. I was raised farming 3,500 acres of rice and soybeans. 2 cat fish farms and 1 minnow farm. I learned alot from men that have since past. The biggest minnow supplier in the world is 10 miles from me. My favorite vendor for sps is DEFINITELY Battle Corals. I used to talk major crap locally about him and his ego but my God he is the best of the best in my opinion. He goes out of his way to make sure you get what you want. He is like the blue color rich hard working dedicated butthead of your local reef club. I love it. That's who I identify with. My last big purchase was cornbread walt disney on ebay in Feb or Jan 2015 for about 1,1100. Sadly lost it due to a breaker tripping while on vacation in Destin FL. I only run, red sea pro salt, afr, various amino acids, no skimmer, uv and specifically red sea lights and dosing pumps. 10% everyweek in water changes. Mp60, 40 wave makers. I'm a firm believer in nudabrances for aiptasia. 11 years and they handle buisness everytime. Nerdy part starts now.
