Thank You

 

[Mel'sReef]

Bump!

 

[Mel'sReef]

UPDATE: No buyers for the full system. Starting October 10, 2025, I’ll accept inquiries for live coral and some fish.
PLEASE understand some fish and reef equipment won’t be available until the coral/live rock is sold. These have been my pets for many years and I want them to go to good homes for others to enjoy.
I’ll share another update once that happens.
Please PM me to schedule a visit.

@Mel'sReef I know you mentioned you’re not parting out, but if you decide to, i’ll buy the blonde naso, been looking for one. Thx and GLWS.

@Mel'sReef just realized the naso is huge, wont be a good fit for my tank, it’s only a 120 gallon display so better go to a larger tank.

I’m interested in the male anthias, i’ll DM
