Reborn - Two Little Fishies

Rick.45cal · Oct 29, 2020

BRS had 44lb boxes available for about 15 minutes this evening, I fortunately managed to snag one. There were “12 in stock” when I signed on and they were all gone within 5 minutes of me placing my order.

I need to stick up with this as well. This is going to be like finding a trident 1 year ago. Hard for a while but slowly come back. Luckily I have about a 8 months supply left but still like to have a back up of this for reasons like this

Likewise! Though, the last time I ordered the 44 lb box I got the 8 lb bag instead ......

Thank goodness BRS has awesome customer service, I’d be pretty upset if I paid $100 for an 8lb bag of coral skeletons. Fingers crossed that doesn’t happen. ;Nailbiting;Hilarious

Yea, I just missed getting some last night, bummer.
I also ended up getting the 8lbs bag instead of the big box last time BRS had it available.
Oh well, maybe next time.

UPS tracking says package weights 45 pounds so appears all is good this time. Will be interesting to see if it looks like old reborn or the more recent smaller stuff.

It is 2020.. A bag of sand with a hole in the bottom will probably show up.

Yeah 45 pounds at time of shipping, only 8 lbs making it to your door LOL

That’s funny, as soon as I received the shipping notification I looked to see what the weight was listed as, as well. Yes I’m anxious to see if there are any differences myself.

Got my box. Smaller pieces than in the past, but no reason to think it won’t work just as well

Mine came too, I haven‘t opened the bag inside, I was mostly happy it was a 44 lbs box that showed up. I’ll open it soon and look, I’ve got to refresh my reactor soon.

I'm confused... Is this not the right stuff? It shows that they have 52 boxes in stock. What am I missing??

ReBorn Calcium Reactor Media - Two Little Fishies

Why does BRS recommend this? Reborn calcium reactor media is harvested from a sustainable source in the Western Pacific Ocean. Two Little Fishies pre-rinses their media in RODI water, as well as manually removing any snail or clam shells before packaging. Reborn is one of the only calcium...

Yep that's the right stuff. Thanks for the heads up, I just got one finally.

ca1ore · Nov 4, 2020

Seems like the supply issues have been resolved .... at least for now.

Sisterlimonpot · Nov 4, 2020

Well a box will last me at least 2 years, so I kicked the can down the road and bought some time.

Acroporakiller · Nov 4, 2020

For the guys local to Portland that have been commenting- Ive seen bags at All Things Aquariums, and upscales.

ScottB · Nov 4, 2020

17 boxes right now. Oops. Make that 16 now that I ordered. I think I have a ton of media now. Should be good.

ca1ore · Nov 4, 2020

Not saying they’re necessarily comparable .... but a while back nutramar ova disappeared from the market. Reappeared a year or so later before disappearing again .... apparently for good. I bought a bunch when it briefly re-emerged. Still have a few unopened packs. Should last me a decade. I think I may stock up on the reborn boxes. Box lasts me about 18 months.
