Just a heads up that we will be closed Wednesday 12/4. Our online Black Friday sales exceeded our estimates and the crew needs to pack/ship orders all day. We will reopen 12-7 Thursday. If you need something real quick or have an emergency please call. We’ll do our best to accommodate you. 425-277-7670

Thank you for understanding.

Black Friday continues all weekend!

We received 3x Locally Grown Frags and Biota. Unfortunately, Biota was delayed and the Yellows didn’t make it. The rest looks great. The Gold Branch Hammer colonies listed here are only $59.99 before the discount. These are 5-10 polyp colonies!

Open until 7pm tonight.

Black Friday - Cyber Monday Starts Now!

As of late last night our power is still out. With the help of our generator we are forging ahead. We will be open normal hours today (12-7).

When shopping online, many discounts will only be applied if you put the item in your cart. Larger product collections, where this applies, have not been put into the Black Friday collection.

Our frozen food is being kept off site and we’ll have to issue pick up tickets for anything purchased or earned with our Black Friday freebie offer. Hopefully, we get power back soon!

Fiji Coral and Mixed Fish/Inv arrived along with 16 Ricordea and 20 Rock Flowers. We are hoping to get another fish shipment Friday, but the staff needs to evaluate how the generator performed overnight.

Storm Update-

Our power is still out and our estimated return of service date is a bit scary. Our generator is running and all of our animals have heat and filtration. We can only run a few aquarium lights and enough to see inside the building. We are likely moving our fresh/frozen foods offsite today.

We will be open 12-7 today. Doing our best and your support is appreciated and needed at this time. We are releasing Black Friday/Cyber Monday specials tonight. They will run Friday 11/22 - Monday 12/2 online and in the shop. If you stop by today we will honor them, but we cannot post the info yet.

We can take cards, but entering the transaction info on a phone takes a bit longer. Cash is easier.

Online 24/7 at www.barrierreefaquariums.com

40 new Tiny Fiji Acros arrived with a Fiji shipment Wednesday. Taylor says they are 🔥. On sale for $59.99.

Ricordea and Rock Flowers arrived Tuesday.

Lists will be posted soon.

For those of you who are new to prolonged outages here are a few tips. Your three biggest concerns are ammonia, oxygen, and temperature. If you don’t have a generator or inverter you can run your main pump and heater off of there are still a few things you can do to help your aquariums.

1. Stop feeding. Your fish and corals will be fine for 2-3 days without food. The last thing your tank needs right now is more organic/ammonia input.

2. Agitate the surface of your water by hand or battery air pump. Also, move water around by hand to simulate what your wave pumps would do. Maintaining oxygen is critical and if your nitrifying bacteria get water moved around them they can still process ammonia/nitrite.

3. Heat up ro/di water on your gas stove, bbq, camping stove, or fire pit. Even if it has to be tap water, it’s better than the tank cooling off too much. Salt the water, unless you are making up for evaporation, and use it to maintain 70+. Under 70 is where you will start to see things do poorly.

Hope these tips help!

Our power is out. There will be staff present attempting to get our generator situated. If it even fires up, it does not run the entire shop so we will likely be closed today as we work through this.

Hopefully, all of you get power restored quickly.

Thank you
