  1. Day 270: My reef at nine months old

    My reef turns nine months old today and some thoughts about the past few weeks.




    To start off, I'd like to showcase some of the newest additions.

    Here's the Branching Tubastrea, usually called a black suncoral. You can see the tissue is dark green. Each night the polyps come out so I can spot feed them.

  2. Korallin Sulphur BioDenitrator

    Hi, I'm new here I have a used Korallin Sulphur BioDenitrator that I purchased on Craig's list that I know nothing about. Do I need to replace the sulphur media before using it?

    I'll be running it on a 120 gal.

    My tank has recently gone from 4 to 5 healthy specimens. I started with one RBTA about a year and a half ago. It was a large specimen at the LFS - I'd say 8-10" across. Within days of introducing it into my then 125 gal aquarium, it split into two smaller specimens. And they continued to grow until January this year when I introduced them into my 180g. Within hours of introduction, they both split again. I can almost certainly say that both occurrences of a split were survival splits ...
  5. Mary Jane’s progress & tank update

    I got Mary Jane my potters angle just about 2 weeks ago I would like to happily proclaim; she appears not to be a coral nipper, she is more if an indiscriminate picker, spending her time picking across the rocks and glass she will occasionally stumble across a piece but nothing that I would say with intent and detrimental. However, today I did notice some aggression to my firefish who likes to hover right in front of the glass stealing all the attention

    Since getting Mary Jane I have ...
