Holiday Greetings,

 

WHAT'S NEW

 

We received a larger selection of fish in this week including Green

Chromis, Flame Cardinals, Hi-Fin Red Banded Gobies, Pink Spot Gobies,

Canary Fangblennies, African Flameback Angels and lots more.  We also

received a nice coral shipment as well including Ridge Hammer's, green

Pearl corals, Pagoda corals, and lots of Green Star Polyps and Branching

Green Briarium.  A new product in stock is PurpleUp.  It is a Coralline

Algae Accelerator which also replenishes Iodine.  So if you are trying

to get your current coralline algae to grow faster, maybe this product

can help take some time off your hands.  Don't forget about our new

wallet size Marine Scene gift cards.  These make perfect gifts for

friends or family members who enjoy this hobby as much as you do.

DID YOU KNOW?

 

Coralline algae is the purple stuff that grows on the glass and rocks of

your aquarium.

Coralline algae not only adds color to the tank, it can also prevent

nuisance algae's from growing.  The two main things that coralline algae

needs to grow are calcium and carbonate (the stuff that makes up

alkalinity). There are a lot of different kinds of calcium and carbonate

additives that can be added to a tank to boost the calcium level enough

to make the coralline algae grow.  If the alkalinity and calcium levels

are at the right levels and the coralline algae still will not grow,

there are a couple of products that go above and beyond the bare

minimums.  Our new product PurpleUp will definitely help your coralline

algae grow faster.  Marc Weiss also makes a few different products that

are proven to make the coralline algae grow faster and many help out

with the growth and color of the corals as well.  Stop by the store and

pick up some supplements to help your tank produce that beautiful, good

algae.

 

 

Hope to see you in this weekend!
