hey bros frm hawaii... so how do u guys get ur live rocks?? is there any online dealers that ould take an order frm hawaii??

 

[superxdude]

No dealer is supposed to ship to Hawaii. I grab my rocks from the high tide mark at the local beach. They'll turn back into "live" rock eventually.

Howzit everyone, I'm a student at OSU and I've got a reef tank up here (legally, hehehe), and maybe at the next meeting we could have a guest speaker go over the correct way to catch your own fish. We should go and ask a rep. from MAC or a MAC certified exporter to teach a simple class on the beach or something. Just an idea.

 

[spleen93]

That's actually not a bad idea. We do have some people here that are professional fish catchers ... not sure if we could get a MAC certified person or not (don't know if they have anybody on the island). Welcome to the thread, Palani, BTW.

[pactrop]

there are no Mac certified people on Oahu. There is a Mac office though.

 

[Palani]

You mean to tell me that there are no MAC certified collectors from Hawaii!!!! I thought we had the best catching methods and lowest stressed fish in the Pacific.

 

[superxdude]

More on the rock issue...The rocks I threw in the tank last week already have aptasia growing.

 

[spleen93]

Palani - don't need MAC certification per se in Hawaii since cyanide fishing is illegal (and enforced) here in Hawaii.

superxdude - kill them now before they take over the tank

Throw in a small racoon butterfly to eat your aiptasia.

 

[superxdude]

I have set up a test forum if y'all would like to give it a shot.

It's free and I am looking for something better.

Please flame me if you don't like it.

[zemuron114]

the whole "MAC" certified is crap. I've seen so many beat up fish that are "mac" certified it is scary... just another reason to charge more...

racoons eat coral BTW.. be careful

site looks good

 

[superxdude]

We could use more action there at the site.

If there are wholesalers who want to advertise, that would be great.

Cut out the middle man and save us some $$$. Or we can meet you at the dock. Either way sounds good to me.

hey bros... i'm still relatiely new to honolulu... so where do u guys get your fish frm... wat shops would u guys recommend??

 

[spleen93]

The clear favorites from reading this thread so far (and I'd agree) would be Modern Pet Center near Ala Moana and Coral Fish Hawaii in Aiea.

Modern Pets clearly has the best quality fish I have seen so far.

Pets Plus looked dismal, as did Pet's Discount Warehouse.

The Coral Reef has a large selection, but I have heard a few stories about thier mortality rate, since they are a wholesaler.

[SethSPST]

I'm a fan of both Modern Pet and Coral Fish. Coral Fish usually has better prices, but Modern Pet has a better variety of fish IMHO.

 

[superxdude]

True, Modern Pets selection was quite varied.
