How The Lake Was Born
It started with a small tank and a single frag back in 2000. Twenty-five years later, The Lake is the result of every mistake, every crash, and every breakthrough that comes with this hobby.
Coralicious Frags grew out of the same obsession. What started as selling extras at local frag swaps turned into a full operation — hand-selecting, aquaculturing, and shipping some of Sacramento's best corals.
The Lake isn't just a show tank. It's the research lab, the grow-out system, and the proof of concept for everything we sell. If it doesn't thrive here first, it doesn't go to you.
Support The Lake
We're actively seeking sponsors and partners to help push The Lake to the next level.
What We Need
- →SPS-grade LED lighting system (Coverage, Energy Efficient)
- →Aquarium controller & monitoring system (New Gear, Testers, New Modules, New Probes, etc)
- →Premium two-part or calcium reactor setup (Our CaRx is a bit undersized and doesn't keep up with our demand)
- →Specialty supplement programs (amino acids, coral food, trace elements)
- →Livestock partnerships for high-end SPS + Mushrooms + Zoa acquisitions
