Live Aquaria - Diver's Den Behind the Scene- Invertebrates

[Stevenliu9]

Hi Guys,
I had a behind the scene tour at Diver's Den coral farm facility in Rhinelander WI today. Posting some photos here on my blog in also description of what I've seen, how they handle the livestock and the shipping process. If you have been interested in ordering from them but have not had the chance to, this should help you make up your mind.


Here are the links to my blog posts:

I will be posting the coral section next!

I do believe you've restored some of of my confidence in Live Aquaria (at least the Diver's Den portion). Do you know what medications are dosed (specifically copper)?

That's cool.

They only open up once a year I believe. I drove from Boston to Wi to visit my sister, and it was the week before the tour.I went there and explained the situation, and guess what?? The still wouldn't let me in LOL I did peak in and you could see some stuff, it looked really cool.

They are doing three tours this year, one coming up in August and one in November. It's definitely worth seeing!
And as far as I know they did not dose copper for fish. I know they freshwater dip everything, fish, inverts and corals. But please forgive me the name of the med they dose for fish escaped me for now but I remember hearing it and thinking it's nothing really potent or have long term harm to the fish.
