Setting faces to stunned! We always love sharing hot new corals, and this one is absolutely unbelievable. Arguably one of the best releases of the year, this unnamed favia comes to us via Exclusive Corals, an online retailer who recently shared the image on their Reef2Reef page.…
Jebao is making its first foray into the protein skimmer department with the release of their DC pump powered D700 Curve Skimmer. Based on the same controllable pump line we’ve seen over and over again from RLSS, Jebao isn’t doing anything groundbreaking with the new D700 and subsequent models, but they are bringing in a DC controllable skimmer at a sub-$300 price point.…
