A few various sizes of these curious and very energetic, wriggly guys came in my live sand today and I was able to grab a couple with tweezers and throw them in a bucket. Was tough to focus the video, looks to me like it might be lancelets. Could anyone confirm...
This is super nice near impossible to find rock!
Pick up in Fort Pierce/Vero Beach area preferred but, I can meet in Palm Beach or Orlando areas if need be as I go to both frequently.
Hello everyone! I had a question on cycling with partial live rock and sand. If I were to potentially set up my 20g would it be worth it to buy some live rock/live sand? I was thinking of the Tampa Bay “pico package” or the “sand and rox box”. I can’t afford to do a full 20lbs of live rock and...
I upgraded my tank last weekend from. 105 litre to a 350 litre tank..
I used 20lbs of live sand arag alive special grade
I put in about 3kg of rock from my old cycled tank and put in the siporax from my old tank that would have live bacteria on it.
Water is 25 degrees, salinity is 1.026 ppm...
It's official. He's as much of an addict as I am now.
This is the start of my son's 32g BioCube that we just picked up this weekend.
We added about 30lbs of (live) sand/crushed coral/shells and even some seaweed/other random life, on Sunday.
It's settled down nicely.
He's super excited...
Looking for somebody who is willing to sell extra sand they have/want to get rid of for cheaper than retail value ($25/20lb bag). Will probably purchase multiple if it’s worth the price.
Would prefer local pick up but willing to pay for shipping If a good deal is made. I have access to the sand...
SOLD
I ordered too much! I just took delivery of it today. I have a 40 lb box that I didn't have any space for. I'm not sure how long it will be good for but if you're in the Dayton/Columbus area I'll make a sweet deal!
From TBS it's $3.50/lb plus shipping. It was $185 just for shipping the 3...

Greetings!
Doing a bit of an experiment. I will get into more details as to why I am doing this particular plan in future posts. For now, the short version is that I am starting a 10g nano tank as a QT/Observation tank for live rock...
Hello all,
I first joined the hobby in 2008 as a teenager after working hard to save up money, I ignorantly went into a big box pet store seeking a complete reef tank build. I was guided by an employee (who I found out later did not even have a fish tank) to buy a 42g bow-front tank, a hang on...
Almost 2 years ago, I removed from sand from my tank and put it in a closed container. I wanted to put it back in the tank, but I'm not sure if I have to do anything to it before? I wasn't sure if there's like a cycling process like it is with live rock.
Hey guys,
I’ve had my Biocube 32 setup now for about 4 months. I started my tank with 30 lbs of TBS live rock and 20 lbs of TBS live sand. I’m moving 5 mins away from my current apartment. I’ve done some research about moving reef tanks and wondered if I could get some insight regarding the...
I recently bought the Red Sea Nano max Perninsula along with Premixed Saltwater from my local store, live rock, live sand, and a heater. Should I be adding anything extra to the water?? Should I be letting it cycle??? Or am I good to go?? I am soooo new to this and have done a good amount of...
Hi there, Reefers!
I am moving and my new place does not allow tanks - any idea if there are any forums where you can sell/give live sand/rock and equipment? I inherited these tanks and I am not sure how to get rid of it without throwing it out and that fewla wrong!
thank you!

I got somewhere in the neighborhood of 12 pounds of live sand from Tampa Bay recently, in early December, and I've decided it's not quite what I'm looking for. It was shipped in water and has gone straight into a tank with light and flow and such, so it should be full of life. I make no...
I've been a Tampa Bay Saltwater customer for more than a decade now and have started at least half a dozen saltwater reef aquariums using their rock, sand, and clean-up crew. TBS is an amazing asset and resource for hobbyists in the USA. In this article, I hope to offer some insight into their...
Trying to understand and figure out when the right time for me to begin running my skimmer and UV is on my new tank build. 310 gallon display tank, been up and running since September 2nd of this year. Just added my first group of 5 captive-bred fish to the tank over the last couple days. I have...
Hey guys! Well my 310gal has been up and running now since the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. I’ve had lights on it now for a couple of weeks. Just put my permanent light setup(coral cares) on it last weekend and have them on a 10 hour light schedule at only 20% intensity right now. I used...
Hey everyone, I have been battling prorocentrum dinos for 1.5 years at this point. It likely started due to phosphate bottoming out as well as me using tap water. I am a student so I'm a little tight in the financial department so it took a while to get an RODI. My params: Alk 8.6, pH. 7.9, Calc...
I am about to set up my tank and have the rocks, sand, but no water yet. I will have the water ready to be put into the tank in 2 days max, possibly tomorrow. My question is, is it okay to put the sand and rock in now and leave it without water for a day or two. I know the rock is okay but my...

Shark sightings make our day! Seeing a hammer head shark en route to the lease site means it is going to be a good day harvesting live rock.
With local news reporting heavy shark activity in our back yard and in honor of the vintage Tampa Bay Saltwater shark logo; we decided to celebrate this...
