eBay Bans The Sale Of Coral, Fish And Other Live Animals | Reef Builders | The Reef and Saltwater Aquarium Blog

Yesterday, eBay updated its policies and ended the sale of live fish, corals, and other animals on the site. In total, they gave sellers a 30-day notice to cease the sale of prohibited items.

Ugh ...

Yeah, what do you guys do to get it up. Feed more? Pull some chaeto? I have an open channel on my doser so I could dose nitrate but I really feel like I’d hate to do that. I used to seriously battle nitrate, maybe I’m winning that battle too well. I think maybe all my corals and refugium is sucking it up.

I think I will do an extra feeding a day per feeder for a while and see if it pops up a little bit. (4 feedings a day to 6)

From my post last night with a couple struggling sps frags.

Here’s the photos of the two. Any thoughts?

Parameters were posted back a few pages but everything basically kosher except nitrates at 0 and phosphates at .18.

I’m seeing a bit better polyp extension today. Hoping the iodine dip helped.

PO4 is fine, but NO3 is not. Zero NO3 can negatively affect coral health, leading to stunted growth and poor coloration due to nutrient deficiency. Maybe try feeding fish more or use Brightwell neo nitro

Personally, I like feeding fish more vs adding chem to my tank.

Yeah, I added two more feedings today and will continue that until I see some more nitrates. I’m hesitant to dose.

Considering pulling some chaeto, but need it for the phosphates I think.

Just add reef roids a little

Omg that needs a lot more feedings then

Sounds like you need my seafood recipe

You’re far past just adding two feedings, you need to dose nitrates. Adding two feedings or adding reefroids will add more PO4 as well.

Why are you hesitant? You’re starving your corals my friend, id tell you to feed more if your N03 was at least 5-10

Is Sbb website down? @SBB Corals

It is. It's being update so what GC can be used with auction

Ugh ...

One could argue that corals are not animals.
all depends on the intelligence of the people at eBay and if they know that coral technically is an animal

Ok, maybe you are right. Will pick some up today.

If your hesitant at least dose until your numbers are detectable.

Thanks Billy at D.O.C. for the frag! I took good care of this one and have fragged it to pass on to local reefers! @billyocean

Ugh ...

A coral vendor I’m friends with called eBay about this. eBay said none of their listings are affected by the new rule. The seller only sells coral. So based on that coral does not seem to be included

hmm not sure how you argue it’s not an animal- quite literally part of the animal kingdom

Some people are ignorant

One “could” argue it’s more of a plant because many of them root themself to the ground, lack a brain, etc

An intelligent person could win an arguement / discussion against someone unintelligent, even if they are wrong

#1. An intelligent person can never win an argument with an unintelligent person.
