Ratvan Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Looks like Diatoms to me, blow that off the rock and start looking at adding a couple of clean up crew members. See if you can get a Cerith Snail and possibly a Banded Trocus Oh yeah and please put "365 Day Challenge" in the tags section so we can find it easily in searches 😄 1 Quote Link to comment

Aquarium depot.ca sells livestock and dry goods. Online ordering for cuc is more limited and macro even worse. Canadacorals was good for cuc but they are now in BC, so shipping costs and shipping time may get costly. In Ontario- closer to the east coast, here are some online vendors. https://sustainablemarinecanada.ca/ Fragbox.ca http://www.coralreefshop.com/ These guys don't do online shopping but are really great to deal with and apparently can set up shipping items, they are also on FB. https://candycorals.ca/ Jardins de mer- on FB, they are really great to deal with. I know you are down East but there is a group on FB that can be really helpful with locating livestock and vendors in CA. Ontario reef keepers 1 1 Quote Link to comment
NaturallyKait Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 1 fish 2 fish in Dartmouth will usually ship things on the bus if you want. I’ve bought livestock there before (and usually the livestock at my LFS here in PEI comes from there because they used to be owned by the same guy) and everything has been healthy.
