reef aquariums are one of my favorite things to observe. I have started up my own reef aquarium resently, it isn't going so well right now, but it has been getting better in the last few weeks, and am still having problems with nuisance algaes. I have some colony polyps and did have some star polyps, but they all died. My colony polyps were about to die also but I put them into a smaller tank and they started to open up again. some kind of a flew must of went threw my aquarium or something, but I cleaned up my tank and erverything seems to be all right now.   IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD GIVE ME SOME TIPS. 

Welcome to Aquaholics! As the name implies, we help feed the addiction of the sps junkie and zo junky! We offer frags from corals from around the world. All of our frags are tagged when they leave our facility, "If it aint got the tag it aint a real frag!". We are dedciated to coral and reef preservation, each year we will be donating in excess of 10% of company profit to non-profits taht protect, study, and conduct research on the reefs and corals of the wild. We are also dedicated to the reefer at home, we will soon be adding an advice page that will dispell myths and contain tons of valuable links to resources, and even other frag farms.

 Do we import wild or maricuktured pieces? Yes, that is the only we can obtain these pieces for growing and harvesting. However, unlike most onlie shops and  lfs', we are not a chop shop. Once we have a piece in our stocks, we keep it and grow it out. Our purpose is to establish the largest sps genetic database anywhere period.

All of our frags are at least 1", are mounted on ceramic disks.We DO NOT embelish photos, we take the photo, use software to remove the blue as we use XM 20ks, and thats it. We dont play with color!

 We also believe it incredibly important for us to do our share in stamping out the scourage of AEFW, red bugs, and nudis that affect these magnificent spieces. All of our pieces incoming are dipped in TMPCC and quranteened. All outgoing frags are inspected and dipped in TMPCC. In this way we run a bugless system, we quarantee you will recieve nothing but beutiful corals without unwanted pests. What other store can make that claim?

 As far as price goes, we realize some of our pieces are quite expensive, but that is deoendent upon our cost to acquire and scarcity. If you notice, when posting each piece we always do market intel to determine a fair value and then knock it down to give the end user a better buy. Further, we offer frag pack discounts and other discounts as well. If you ahve any questions, feel free to contact us.

Thanks,
