I have sad news to report Steve Schor owner of Sea Schor has passed away. He was a great friend of mine and he will be missed dearly. He taught me a ton of things in this hobby and the aquarium business. I probably would not have the company I have today without his support. Please see below for details about his arrangements. Rest in peace my friend.

The online portal link for Steve Schor’s funeral service is below for anyone to view and pay respects

Many have inquired about ways to honor the recent loss of Steve Schor.

In lieu of flowers and sweets etc., Marci Batler Schor has requested donations be made for their children via Venmo: -Schor

All funds will be used for the children’s support.

Sick and tired of manually topping off water? Bashsea autotop containers are great for water storage. They have holes for water lines and cords and have gallon markers on the front. Match them with your favorite auto top off controller so you no longer have to top off your aquarium every day by hand.

Just picked up some new clownfish for our breeding programs. Thanks to @bluelinecoral for bringing them in for us.

We had a nice large ocellaris hatch the other night. Its amazing how many rotifers these large batches go through. #babyclownfish #clownfishlarvae

Checkout our new breeding pair. These guys never leave the shell.

We are using our new acclimation boxes to pair our Fiji Blue Stripe Clownfish pair. The acclimation box is a great way to get the fish use to each other and the water conditions before they are released together. Have a difficult Clownfish to pair up? Pick up one of our boxes today to improve your chances of success. https://aquariumoverload.com/collections/acclimation-boxes/products/acclimation-boxes

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth today. We were so busy I finally was able to take a picture of our setup when the show ended...

We don't only sell our new acclimation boxes, we use them as well. Currently we are pairing our lightning maroon female to a png white stripe maroon clownfish. These boxes are great to have if you are trying to pair maroon clownfish.
