    Brine Shrimp Tank!

    We've had a 6G aquarium running nearly empty for nearly half a year now, just a single piece of live rock, some sand, a Rhodactis and some pest starfish. We saw a vial of Brine Shrimp eggs at one of our local shops and decided maybe we could try it out and see how it does, best case we get to...

    Taking a Break From Hobby

    I will be taking a break from the Saltwater hobby for a little while... Got fired from my job with Petco, railroaded because I reported my management for failing to properly care for some of our animals. I won't be able to give you guys heads up on $1/gallon sales anymore. I have just bought a...

    Biocube 14G's @ Petco Clearance?

    I got some new clearance tags to place out today at my store and we got some for the 14G Oceanic Biocubes, marking them for half off (about ~$120). I don't know if that's company-wide or not, but if you're looking for one of them call around the Petco's near you looking for them. Just thought...

    Woops, posted this originally in the wrong section. We got this guy in a shipment that was supposed to be all Green Emerald Crabs. Girlfriend brought it home and put it in the display tank (Yay, suprises). It so far seems to hang out in this carpet of hair algae on the back wall eating away...

    Petco "Care Sheets" *cringe*

    I've been fighting with corporate over their newly released animal caresheets for quite a few many months. Multiple E-Mails, back and forth phone calls, even a brief conference call, but yet these "sources of care information" that Petco pushes on uninformed future owners are just...

    Duncan Help

    Long story short, my boss meant to order some cheap $13 corals, and hit a wrong button (or more) and accidentally ordered six $165 Duncans. Of course, it's my job at this new location to care for pretty much all the corals, so I need help. Right now it's about 5 inches below the water line on a...
