Greetings to All,

 

WHAT'S NEW

 

A few new fish of interest arrived this week including: Pink Smith's

Damsels, Green Chromis, Hi-Fin Red Banded Gobies and Black Blennies.  We

also have a few nice Rose anemones, Blue Globe Urchins and Staghorn

hermit crabs.  Our coral shipment this week featured a few impressive

pieces like a green Pearl coral, a green Montipora, a couple colorful

Open Brains, a blue tipped Acropora and many more.  The coral of the

week is the exotic Sea Fan with blue polyps.

 

 

WHAT'S ON SALE

 

Seachem Silver Shores substrate is 10% off this weekend.  Rose Anemones

are also 10% off.  We still have a wide variety of corals whose prices

have been slashed to $25.  Garlic additives are 15% off.

 

DID YOU KNOW?

 

As the seasons start changing, temperature fluctuations start to become

a problem.  This is about the time Ich outbreaks become prevalent.  The

best way to ensure that the tank water is heated correctly is to have

two heaters that are about three to five watts per gallon.  It is

important to have a reliable thermometer that displays the temperature

accurately.  Cooling the tank is a completely different problem that

usually involves getting a chiller.  Some good ways to help prevent Ich

from occurring is to make sure that the heaters are working properly

since they most likely will have to start working a lot more now.

Dosing garlic in the fishes' food is another good way to help prevent

Ich outbreaks.  If the fish do end up getting Ich as the weather gets

colder, we have a few medications that can work on getting rid of the

Ich as well as some good tips on a course of treatment on getting your

fish healthy again.

 

 

That's it for this week.  Have a good weekend and Ta-Ta for now!
