Many of you already know what price per polyp means. Some of you may not and I would like to take a second to explain the meaning of it and why some zoas are priced per polyp. I will use zoa and paly (zoanthid/palythoa) interchangeably throughout this as it applies to both. Priced per polyp simply refers […]
Was cleaning out a hard drive and found some old photos of some of the nicest acans we have had. Dont know what my obsession is with acans but have always loved them. They first became available five or six years ago and there was a reefer craze for these special LPS. The hype never […]
When I came across this thread on reef central my jaw hit the floor. This has to be one of the most remarkable and crazy reef aquarium builds.

Dont always listen to what you read on-line. Especially topics regarding this hobby. There are many knowledgeable reefers out there and a wealth of knowledge on the forums. But not everyone understands exactly what they are saying. Sometimes someone’s advice can have implications on your tank and your animals in a very negative way. No one knows […]
A little not so well known fact, emerald crabs do in fact eat bryposis. I hope no one ever contracts this horrible algae. It is probably one of the toughest algaes to beat in the hobby. I know many that have given up and just tolerate small amounts in their tank. We at Fragbox have […]
Check out this beautiful in wall 500 gallon tank. The cabinetry on it just flawless. Who wouldn’t want one these in their living rooms?

Ever seen a yellow tang like this? Would you like one in your tank?
The RW Series of propeller pumps succeed the very popular WP line. The RW pump has a different look to widen the flow and also make them quieter than the already silent WP’s.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting Manhattan Aquariums in New York City and wow were we impressed. When we first arrived we had trouble finding it.
