Do you have or know where I can get high quality underwater photos with corals and fish which are suitable for large scale prints, should be from either Hawaii or Guam. I assume the photo needs to be at least 300 dpi but I know almost as much about photography as I know about plumbing.

I’m currently using an Aquatic Life under-sink water filtration system for my drinking water. My source water measures 32 TDS, and after filtration, it’s still 29 TDS—so it’s time for an upgrade. I’d like to switch to a standard reverse osmosis (RO) system. My current setup does not appear to...

I wanted to tag on this topic here: https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/rodi-system-recommendations-and-considerations-and-which-ones-not-to-buy.38013/ But then I thought it might deserve its own thread. I am currently working on solving the following issue: I am testing positive for...

I have seen similar ones but not this specific one, which I quite like.

Max / @popper was very kind giving this tank to me a few weeks ago for a temporary project which is now done. It has been cleaned with sulfamic acid (only normal saltwater in the tank previously), and comes with the light (not blue). It works well and can run as a rather nice pico tank. It does...

- Just learned that this skimmer is not available outside the EU as of today (Oct 11, 2025). Also, due to larger footprint, it does require a rather large sump. They seem to be working on a smaller model - Has anyone tried this one yet? I believe someone here claimed that skimmer cannot...

Does anyone know of a quick (potential) fix to address the noise issue? I assume this pump will not have too much live left in her.

Does anyone know where to get fresh fish eggs (without any additives) in the East Bay? I am looking for white or orange eggs, and/or lobster eggs. Berkeley Bowl seems to have some, but I wondered if there are other places.

I am running low on coral glue and wanted to hear what everyone found to be the best or easiest to use. Some bond very quickly, and others take forever. Also, larger tubes have advantages, as I do not like how difficult the ones below, which I have been using until now, are to open, especially...

I know we have some scientists and doctors here, so my question is the following: Given what perplexity produced below regarding the toxicity of these Hanna reagents - specifically that it can be absorbed through the skin (last bullet point) - should they never be handled without wearing gloves?

(corrected/photos previously uploaded in the wrong order) I normally pour hot RODI water over the carbon a few times before I put it into my tank, to remove the finer particles. I always use the same type of carbon for this - left picture. Today, I did the same with another carbon product...

Does anyone use a longer hose for the bucket head and can recommend one? It looks like the hose size is 1-1/4 inch so the below should fit? https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-1-1-4-in-VT2534-Premium-Car-Cleaning-Kit-Accessory-Shop-Vacuum-Attachments-for-RIDGID-Wet-Dry-Vacs-VT2534/100638355

This guy is growing too much. I have now several frag pieces from this and no more space in the frag tank to let them attach to rocks/plugs etc. Let me know if you want one. BOD and Supporting Members only.

Priority is given as follows: BOD - Supporting members - non-member. Pickup in Walnut Creek.

I have the following pieces of manila spy after some pruning today if anyone is interested- will throw them away this evening if no interest. Priority is given in the following order (if it comes to that): BOD - supporting members - others This is how the colony looks these are broken off from.

The lady who runs the local gym I go to - a very bare bones, basic, low-cost but good gym in Walnut Creek - needs a welder to fix a larger part of a partially broken piece of gym equipment for which there is no replacement available. Let me know if there is someone who would be willing to look...

I am doing a little side project and would be very interested in getting pictures or videos or links on Instagram etc to smaller sized tanks up to 50 gallons. Ideally, pictures or videos of this tank (I know this tank is larger than 50 gallons due to its sump):

I have had a NY Nick's Torch for about 1.5 years or longer. It opens up fully, etc., but it has already lost two heads (slowly over several months). A brown fungus and coralline are growing towards the heads from its base. The picture below was taken after much of the fungus had been scraped...

I have removed this piece of live rock from my aquascape today (switch with a branch). I got this from KP aquatics previously and it does house a rather large crab (I cannot get it out of its cave). I keep it in a bucket of saltwater but should be picked up ASAP as I do not have enough space in...

- Preliminary remark: I am shopping at LFS whenever possible, and intentionally do NOT buy anything online that they typically sell - I have not bought anything from BRS for a long time, trying to avoid them unless they have something no one else has or at the best price...
