Supporting local and bringing better solutions to reef keeping. 🪸🤝

We’re excited to collaborate with 3D Print Model Services, a fellow local business creating innovative tools for reef hobbyists. Together, we worked on the design of the bristle worm trap to create a practical solution for managing unwanted bristle worms in your tank.

Their frag racks are fully modular and customizable, making it easy to create a setup that works for your reef. In fact, the custom racks you see in our coral table tank were made by 3D Print Model Services!

Stop by Barrier Reef to check out the products we carry and see their work in action. 🐠

How does the ocean stay so clean? 🌊

Protists like macroalgae act as natural filters, absorbing excess phosphate and nitrate from the water and helping maintain a healthier aquatic environment.

Come by Barrier Reef to check out our selection of macroalgae! 🌿 Don’t see what you’re looking for? We also offer special orders.

Meet the Sierra Centipede Knifefish ⚡🐟

Known for its long, ribbon-like body and unique swimming style, this freshwater knifefish uses a specialized electric-sensing system to navigate its surroundings, especially in low-light conditions. They prefer plenty of hiding spaces and a peaceful setup with appropriately sized tank mates.

A fascinating addition for experienced freshwater hobbyists looking for something a little different. 🌿
