Review of the BRS Pukani Dry Eco Aquarium Live Rock
We recently received a sizable order of Pukani Dry Eco Aquarium Live Rock from Bulk Reef Supply and wanted to share our impressions and subsequent aquascaping. But before we show off the rock and tell you why we like it, I wanted to explain why we chose dry rock in the first place. Dry rock [...]
Great Product Support from EcoTech
We were very recently sent an EcoTech Marine VorTech MP10w ES from our newest sponsor Aquarium Specialty for a product review. The pump was working spectacularly for a few weeks, but randomly stopped working. The EcoSmart controller was no longer powering up and the pump wasn’t spinning. Unsure of the issue, I unplugged all of [...]
Local Fish Stores vs Online Retailers
Most aquarium hobbyists have their preference as to where they purchase livestock.

Regardless of your personal choice though, both the LFS and the online retailer are there to turn a buck, [...]

Tunze’s Spectacular Customer Service!!!
I ordered a Tunze 6105 a few months back and ran into a few issues recently. The pump had been working flawlessly for months, but out of the blue the powerhead started to randomly turn on and off while making a clicking noise at the same time. I wasn’t quite sure of the problem, but [...]
Vendor Review: Aquarium Specialty
Aquarium Specialty (www.aquariumspecialty.com) is one of my personal favorite online retailers and I’ve had an overwhelmingly positive experience with them on every single order placed. My relationship with them began much like many of you would start a relationship with a retailer…by a single test order. I was looking to purchase a ZEOvit startup kit [...]
