If you have had a chance to purchase a bottle in the last month or so we hope you've notice big changes to our Doc's Eco live phyto and live pod bottles. We have added tigrios into the mix along with everything you have always received in a bottle of Doc's Eco Matter and increase our 100% Live Doc's Eco Bytes phyto to 6 flavors that now include Pavlova. The phyto is much darker and full flavored :)
A little hint - now that we have added tigrio pods to our bottles you will key in on them but using a light like displayed in the video you will see all the other pods and rotifers such as our tisbes. These are great for seeding your aquarium and keeping corals and fish such as wrasse and mandarins fed naturally.
Last one I promise, we were playing with juvenile sea lions in the Sea of Cortez. Nature at it's best.

Sea of Cortez
I just returned from an amazing trip to the Sea of Cortez. This is a mother Gray Whale with her newly born calf. She is still assisting her baby to the surface to breathe but clearly directed her to our boat. Gray Whales have been on the extinction list twice, once in 1910 and again in 1950. They resurfaced in 1970 and now are protected. Enjoy

We at Doctor Eco Systems want to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year and a successful 2016. Happy reefing, a little eye candy from one of our test tanks.
Marine Solutions in St. Charles MO has a new state of the art setup. We're feeding Doc Eco Eggs to the new fish. Stop on in there and check out the changes they have made.
Just for fun we wanted to share one of our test tanks. Our large green carpet who is normally 2 feet across has decided to flip over a flower pot and snuggle his way in. He has been like this for over 2 weeks. Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays.
Our extended Black Friday sale ends Sunday. So make sure you pick up one of our combo packs before supplies run out.
Here's a quick video of our morning feeding of Doc's Eco Eggs to the softy tank.
With unbelievable demand for our quarantined, gut loaded saltwater feeder fish so we doubled our system to deal with the higher demand.
I posted a video about our acclimation of quarantine saltwater mollies yesterday that went poof over night so I wanted to re-share it with everyone.
These guys are great for predator fish and do a fantastic job clearing algae from frag tanks.
Contact your local fish store for more info.
S.L.A.S.H. 2015 Fall show has begun. Good start to a fun day in St. Louis.
It still blows me away every show that someone will gobble down some of our Docs Eco Super Eggs. Thanks for making my day Tiffany!
On a different note. They say the camera adds 10 pounds. I swear Trina had seven cameras pointed at me.
Our booth at MACNA is finally complete. Booth 414 and 415 in the main room. We hope to see you here!
The Corner Reef is our next store we want to showcase. A quick 5 minutes across the river from South County is Columbia, IL and boy is it worth the trip. Home to Steve Babcock's beautiful store.
The Corner Reef has the only Clarion Angel I know of in St. Louis along with a lot of great fish and unique inverts. This store excels though at being a coral boutique. If you're looking for the rare pieces with funny names than make sure you add this store to your rounds.
A final note Steve actually uses our live phyto and copepods daily to keep his nitrates and phosphates in check on his display tank and coral system.
Our next feature store is Corals & More located in St. Charles, MO.

This is one of St. Louis newest stores. We like what they have accomplished in such a short amount of time. With a nice back wall of clean tanks with beautiful fish and plenty of lookdown coral tanks with a nice selection of Corals. Lee, Steve, and the employees are on the right track t establishing another great long term store in St. Louis.
Make sure you pick up some Doc's Eco products with your next purchase from Corals & More.
As promised we are featuring stores in St. Louis and eventually hope to expand this feature to all of our stores carrying Doctor Eco Systems.

Marine Solution has been one of St. Louis long standing local fish stores that is now under new ownership. Damon, Ryan, and the rest of the staff are very knowledgeable and carry a wide variety of aquarium live stock and dry goods, along with Doctor Eco systems full line. We hope you enjoy this short video clip of their store.
More to come in the next few weeks!
So as I've said before, one of the great things about being in this business is that we get to visit a lot of local fish stores. It allows us to keep a great understanding of the hobby. Yesterday we visited a new store in our own back yard.
Kingdom Aquatics at 1600 Lebanon Ave #106 in Belleville, IL is a unique new store that shouldn't be left off your weekly list of stores to visit. With a great selection of fish, coral, and inverts including a picky flagfin angelfish, that is until he got a hold of our eggs! Here is a small video clip of us feeding their fish for the first time.
Here's a fun video of us hand feeding our 300 display.
We at Doctor Eco Systems are committed to healthy nutrition and for herbivores like our tangs featured here, its extremely important to feed plant food. We are feeding Rod's Seaweed Blend in addition to our Doc's Eco Super Eggs as part of a healthy diet.
Hi, I am an ORA red goniopora. I started out as a itty bitty frag and now I'm almost two years old and have been lucky to be fed Doc's Eco Bytes, Matter, and Brew daily.
Did you know that we have healthy, 30 day quarantined saltwater feeder fish available for your local fish store to order. Great for feeding predators such as our two puppy dogs, located in one of our phytoplankton nps test tanks.
Please disregard my abilities with an iphone camera in this one :). Doc did his best to edit my work.
