Reef Balls & Reef Cakes - Page 3

BigAl07 · 12-18-2007, 09:57 PM

The "Reef Cakes" only come in one size. I'll have to find it shortly and post back.

The actual Reef Balls and Reef Cakes were in various sized from maybe 3' to upwards of 6'+ and designed for the ocean to help stimulate coral re-growth and provide a good safe haven for inverts and small fishes who were left home-less after a reef disaster.

I saw them on Dirty Jobs.. contacted The Discovery Channel and was given a contact name with Reef Balls. Sent an email and got a phone call. I contacted them and asked about "Aquarium" sized Reef Balls and cakes and yadda yadda yadda here we are. I hope to get these things OUT in the stores before the next show comes out. That puts me and some other LFS's way ahead of the game. I'm hoping to get them up North and way out on the East Coast in the next few weeks. I just have to work out some logistical and s/h $$ issues. Every time the cost of fuel goes up so does EVERYTHING else... grrrrr

I'll look up the sizes and post back shortly. I may have to log into my Reef Ball spreadsheet on my work pc. I'll post back in a few minutes

Hey Al,
Let me know if you need some test subjects up this way. I wouldn't mind putting them in one or two of my tanks. I think they work nice for the ponies to hitch onto.

Wolfgang8810 · 12-19-2007, 05:06 PM

jsut got back form a store near me where i went to buy some heaters and they offered me a free long tentacle anemone. The offer is really cool but i declined. I dont need everything dying in my tank this early

BigAl07 · 12-19-2007, 05:14 PM

Hey Matt I'll shoot you a PM in a moment

Wolfgang8810 good for you. Your tank is a LONG ways off from ready for that and it would totally NUKE your tank when it dies.

Wolfgang8810 · 12-19-2007, 05:19 PM
