I posted a while ago about starting my own mobile pet business here in the Bay Area and well I did it! It is called Nails and Tails Mobile Pet Services and I will offer discounts for BAR members to help spread the word. We serve most of the Bay Area and come to you to perform nail trimming...

Makes me wanna blame Bell for all those who text and talk while driving....

Found this weird algae growing on this one spot between some zoa's, any ideas?

So looking at my tank right after lights out I noticed a few small white snails roaming about my LR which I may seen before but cannot remember. Anyway being I am infected with the reef bug I went researching and found they may be Pyramellid snails. I have never had a clam before but reading...

A generator or battery backup are in the future as money allows there are for sure my next big purchase. I am asking more as to what people do without one?

So being that the weather is bad and there is a possibility of losing power for a few hours or more I thought I would ask about what people do during one. For my 40 breeder I have a battery powered air pump and but wanted to know how others get heat into their tank. I have a gas stove and if...

Thanks for the info guys it helped a ton. Real funny Tuberider, hopefully your business grows as fast as these Zoas I picked up from you at the swap. I was all caught up about being "legal" and didnt think it was simple as it really is. I am going the unincorporated route to test the waters...

So I am taking the jump and turning my side job into a business. I am a vet tech that will be starting my own mobile grooming business in Alameda and serving the bay area. Problem is I have never done this and the people at city hall have been far from helpful in guiding me where to go and...

Just did a Furan 2 dip for 20 minutes on each of the three affected colonies. Before I have have tried Revive, and freshwater dips to no avail. Crossing my fingers... I'll post pics later of the most affected colony and update what happens. I don't know if i should wait a few days or dip...

just dipped them in R/O for about 5 mins a piece. Should I repeat it at any point? Should I use the revive at all anymore?

So I was talking to another BAR member looking to trade some zoas and I asked if he liked any of my all yellow zoas that i have had for about 5-6 months. He said that that zoas had gone melty on him a couple times so out of curiosity I inspected mine further and realized they were slowly...

i thought it looked like a colt but the lfs said they didnt know what it was so he sent me this pic. Any experts?

Friend sent me this pic needs and ID on this coral growing between the zoas thanks all

First swap its was awesome I was very impressed with what I picked up Orange zoas- Tuberider Green Nepthea- Schmuck (what a bright cool coral) Pink Paly Teal trumpet coral -Jeff/Qwiv peach zoas green palys Unknown LPS Had a great time venue was cool cant wait until Baymac...

Just wanted to know how many people usually show up to these swaps?

I have fished all around the bay area for over 20 years, mostly in Alameda. I have called caltip and the fish and game several times but they didnt come out while I was around. I have been checked before but not often enough. I dont usually fish to eat, but when I do catch a keeper I like...

It would seem the rent was a big factor, the owners mentioned that their lease was up and to renew was more money. In alameda alone when PETCO came in, both aquarium stores went out of business and now we only have them.

So I went in to the Lucky Goldfish in Oakland on Broadway and found out they are closing after over 20 years. Hunter had a great display tank which is now being picked apart piece by piece, very sad. I spoke to him and his wife as I frequent their store about once a week and could tell it was...

Awesome setup I like the isolation technique.

I read through the info on the swap and will be attending for the first time and had a few questions. First there is no lighting I heard so the corals will not be open but will they stay warm enough to do ok? Also what do people do for dipping? I plan on dipping every coral I get as always...
