I will say you can order fish at ReefeScape if they don't have what you are looking for or it isn't common. They also have a fair amount of fish that should be graduating quarantine within the next week or so.

Very very very cool spot. Visited today and was quite impressed with the effort they are putting in to offer coral and fish without disease or pests. sounds like they just opened to the public recently after having been focusing on tank maintenance and commercial builds for some number of years. they had a number of very impressive display tanks. im definitely going back once I’m ready to add more corals and fish. limited hours so check before going.

I’m going to use the 100gal stock tank as a sump directly behind tank. With that setup I did the plumbing pretty easy. I’m gonna run the old sump as another tank in the system and can plumb that in after stock tank in place. I’ll trim the full siphon right below waterline once it’s all setup. I left it long for now. I’m just gonna run one return line. I capped the other one off of I ever feel like using it in future. I may plumb the UV through it independently. Would also give me a backup return from sump if either one were to fail.

Fantasea also QT's fish

If I wanted a fully qt'ed local fish, I'd go to reefescape.

I think Reef eScape is the only one with true quarantine. There are other good shops (like Blue Ribbon Koi and Marine, Supreme Reefs, Rick's Fish and Pets, Fintastic, and Tropical Exotics), but they don't do a full quarantine.

Sorry to hear. Even when you think you're prepared, something unexpected can still strike. Hope things turn around. I would perform a big water change and also run activated carbon ASAP. The focus should be to get the fish and livestock into clean water. I would even consider setting up a temp small tank with a piece of live rock, and essential equipment. Just a thought. Just be careful of over heating the water and ammonia build up. You definitely want some aeration.

YouTube has a lot of tutorials on creating aquascape using Marco rocks and thin superglue. It is amazingly fast and really solid. I just did my first attempt and amazed how the glue fused the rocks together. I included my attempt.

Went away for a day vacation. Came back to all my fish white as a ghost and the tang swimming upside down. It looks like my 2 engineering Gobies buried my leather coral and it melted. I've been trying to be tolerant of them, as its just their nature.

I’m tapped out. The acrylic paint I bought was NOT working well. Now I’m waiting on some vinyl to arrive. Hoping 3rd times the charm.
