A White (Yellow) Tang and a pair of Potter's Angels made this pretty special.

07/29/2024

Found all the Yellow Tangs, they are smartly hiding in the nature preserve on the southern tip of Maui.

A rugged walk over 250 yards of jagged rock from the most recent lava flow on Maui from about 400 years ago; leads to a slightly daunting water entry that is the gateway to what is probably the best snorkeling reef in the Hawaiian chain. Closed for much of the last 20 years, there is now a parking lot and guided path at 'Ahihi-Kina'u that is stationed by knowledgeable Park Rangers. The water entry point is marked by a sign (final photo)

Went farther south, actually spotted some Yellow Tangs and of course my favorite, the Achilles.

07/26/2024

Happy to report the reefs on Maui look much better than they did 5 years ago. However, yellow tangs are still extremely rare so far.

Most common question I have received the past few months is where should I purchase livestock from now:
Low Tide Corals located in Syracuse is a beloved small retail store that has been proudly serving the community for over seven years. Known for its diverse selection of corals and dedication to sustainable aquaculture practices, it has become a favorite among saltwater hobbyists. The store also features a freshwater section, providing a variety of options for all aquarium enthusiasts. Whether you're new to the hobby or a seasoned expert, Low Tide Corals offers everything you need to support your passion for aquatics.

**Adam will continue doing aquarium maintenance and consulting**

We have been proud to serve the Finger Lakes region for 13 years, it is bittersweet to share that after careful thinking and deliberation, we have made the hard decision to close the store.

We have both been offered better opportunities outside of the store and at the same time, the building we are located in was sold to a new owner last month.

So we have made the extremely difficult decision to close the brick and mortar location.

HOWEVER, Adam will continue maintenance and consulting completely unaffected. You can continue to email, facebook message and text us any Saltwater related questions.

Something for everyone in the big lookdown.

Want to take beautiful pictures and videos of your reef, but all you get is a blue washed out mess? We now carry the clip on lens filters we use to take all our pictures. This lens kit is Kyle's favorite thing in the world, turned his phone into a stunning reef camera instantly.

Order has arrived:

But first, we know our surrounding counties have been hit hard by power outages (we have been out all morning checking on a bunch of tanks in the area). The most important thing for a tank with no power is air/water movement. A battery operated bait bubbler from Wal- Mart, Runnings, Dicks etc etc is extremely effective.

Now for what arrived-

Blue Hippo Tangs
Red Sea Sailfin Tangs
Tomini Tangs
Yellow Bristletooth Tangs
Carpenter's Wrasses
Six Line Wrasses
Banggai Cardinals
Molly Millers
Midas Blennies
Starry Blennies
Klausweitz Blennies
Coral Beauties
Lamark Angel
Yellow Watchman Gobies
Diamond Gobies

Ruby Red Dragonets
Clown Gobies

Cleaner Shrimp
