BradleyJ is a friend of mine, and he just posted up a video of his reef that I thought you'd all enjoy.

Something to aspire to, to be sure.

Just saw this video and had to share it here. ORA is based out of Florida and has been providing fish and corals to the industry for years now, which they've aqua-cultured themselves.

April 6th was the 60th day since my reef was set up, so last night I shot some video, assembled it on in iMovie on my iMac, and here's the result.



I shot it with my D90, but it seems a little soft. Over time, I'll probably need to get a better HD camera to share some crisper vids. I hope you enjoy it.

When I get new fish, I prefer to put them in quarantine for a duration to make sure they are healthy and well-fed. I set up my old quarantine tank on the angled tank's stand, and filled it up with reef water, a heater, a MP10, and a simple LED light on top. PVC fittings were addded to give fish a place to hide if need be.

Keeping the tank at 78F is easier this time, because the tank is lower in the room. The previous one would get hotter due to warmer air up high.
