It looks like they are still ironing out some kinks in the joining user groups feature, but I will add as soon as they get it going.

I checked out your tank and it is super cool! Awesome cow fish!

My tank is in the diatom stage of cycling, it actually might be done, my nitrites have dropped to zero but I haven't run the ammonia test yet (spiking it to 2ppm and seeing if it processes in 24hr) because I am traveling for work next week and don't want to add things and be gone for a week. However, when I come home I was going to add some CUC, wait a week then get some clowns. I was thinking of going down to Vivid Aquariums for some clowns but saw there is a cool little LFS in Lompoc. Have you been and do they have a good selection? I have been going to the shops in Ventura but extreme marine has singles of a lot of clowns but no good pairs and the other shop in Ventura didn't have much either.

We are in a LFS wasteland. Extreme marine is pricy, and the one in Lompoc is just too far away for me. They have a good selection though.

Seriously, I wish someone would open something, I think its kind of cool though because it really allows us to have some diverse tanks.
Thanks for the info though! I will check it out! aka take my girlfriend to try some santa rita wines and say can we make a quick stop lol

Hey guys Billy in Camarillo here. I’d love to join your group. I go up to SB about once every other month with the family to hit up the zoo, pier aquarium, and East Beach Tacos.

I stopped by Vivid Aquariums today for the first time in about 15 years. I’m just getting back into the hobby. It’s packed with corals and a small but solid selection of fish. They were quarantining fish way before anyone had QT tanks.

That’s good to know, thanks for posting! What set up have you been running since you have got back in?

LFS in Lompoc where I live here and don’t know where it is

What’s up guys! Just thought I would post some pics of my newish tank. It’s about 2.5 months in. Done adding most corals for now but would like to add some sort of Euphyllia to the right hand side in the sand bed. The BTAs and Trachy were just added yesterday and everything else has been growing good!

Looks good! Are you in Oxnard? I’m a Camarillo resident.

Nothing yet. I’m in the process of rebuilding my kitchen and can’t put the tank in place until I finish my floors, which will hopefully be before the end of the year. I’ve got a 90gal in the waiting though.
