Anyone want a free 125g tank? It's a beast of a tank, never seen a 125 with glass this thick. It's not perfect but definitely still in usable condition, very minimal scratches. Will need one of the trim pieces siliconed back in place, but its not a whole one piece frame, so a simple job that should take 5 mins. Good tank, holds water.

Don't have pictures, but if no one gets it by Tuesday I will post some. Otherwise, first come first serve. We can't hold it, please only call the store for details if you're coming to pick it up immediately. I will remove the post once its claimed.

We also have 4 other tanks all with overflows 120g+ that we will sell for $250 or less if you come get them ASAP. These all include stands, one even comes with a sump. They need to be cleaned but are in decent shape.

Now, THIS is cool!

A living ink containing bacteria attracts coral larvae and could help rebuild reefs. The paper is published in the journal PNAS Nexus.

Quick walk-through of our greenhouse systems. Like just about everything else in our store, it's a lot more high tech than it looks! It is fully automated to control temperature, humidity, and 4 different "wetness zones". You step in and are immediately transported to a cloud forest jungle! Come check it out! We get new rare plants weekly and regardless if you're shopping, you are always welcome to take a quick little day trip to our jungle :)

Got some free time? Watch this video on our treatment protocol for sick/damaged anemones. This method allows for them to be treated while still in tank, which for us, has greatly improved survival rates over removing for qt.

Given what a huge hit the greenhouse has been lately, well, we went ahead and more than DOUBLED the available space in it! We've already got some more really great, rare plants in acclimation that will be available soon but... just wait to see what else we're planning on filling this new space with! 😏🫠😍

Like so much else at The Local Fish Store, we dont just sell pest-free and perfect specimens- we guarantee it!🤩😱

Our giant green moray, stores oldest resident, here since about 3 months prior to opening. He's such a sweetheart! (That does not mean he wont bite, because he definitely does)

The red fin prochilodus is a great, uniquely-colored fish for those larger fw systems. Peaceful co-inhabitant.. unless, if course, someone fits easily in their mouths.. you know, "fish rules" 😬

We've still got 8 more large specimens in stock!

Thanks for enduring the boring post about our filter swap.. here's some eye candy to make up for it 😉🫠

Quick video detailing a bit of our filter changing procedures. System is rated for 16k gallons daily, but we make do with closer to a meager ~9k gpd rate. Not that we use that much but, considering every last bit of the 13k gallons worth of systems in the store is run exclusively on ro/di, it saves us from needing massive reserviors in the event that we require a lot of water on short notice.
