Huge thanks to Tyler (@inland_reef) for utilizing the Reefer's Code to let Uno, Dos and myself enjoy this amazing bubble tip anemone! Their little nano tank is coming along nicely!

This episode was so much fun. Mostly because I got to check in with where some of the frags ended up and how they are doing today. I also very excited for the new GREEN long polyp toadstool. It'll be nice when I can get it into a proper spot on the reef and off the glass.
Lots of people to thank for this episode:

In Phase 2 of the basement renovation I take down the BRS Macro Algae tank, paint some walls & move Uno & Dos into their new 10g Waterbox AIO saltwater aquarium!

I got a chance to chat with Lauren from Simple Aquariums (@SimpleAquariumsLauren) in a new feature I like to call, "10 Questions With..." We talked about so much...aiptasia removal, doing water changes with natural seawater, her new koi pond, the best way to learn about keeping a reef when you don't have a local fish store...she even gives an American accent a try!

I’m so happy Tyler invited me over for a tour of his 2, 45g SR Aquaristik reef tanks. He is constantly evolving as a reef keeper and there is ALWAYS something new to view at his place. We didn’t even get to the lobster bowl!

Finally, I have begun the remodel of my aquarium studio. Currently, I have 7 tanks and I'd like to get that down to 3. One of those is the brand new reef tank I've had on my basement floor for a solid 8 months...lol. I should be able to get through it all it 4-5 phases.

In this video I try to uncover some of the mystery surrounding this particular strain of zoa. Will it ever become plentiful like other "high end zoas?" The Grand Master Krakatoa came down in price...but will the Stratosphere? Time will tell.
I want to thank Doc Reefer, Michael Vargas and Shane Backer for their time in this video!

From the algae to the invertebrates and everything in between it was an honor to get to take some footage of this tank. If you're considering a macro algae aquarium, go for it! They are a great habitat for hundreds of creatures!

Huge thanks to Ryan for allowing us to come hang out for a bit a talk about his high end coral collection. I think one of my favorite parts was hearing his explanation of PH and coral growth. Even on a huge system like his...the ideas are really quite simple.

Bill travels around the country to various coral frag swaps with Reefing USA. If you see him at a show, now you know where all his goodies come from! Tyler and I loved seeing all his zoanthids, SPS, LPS and we especially loved his the HUGE indophyllia in the 60g display tank!

Creating an underwater garden of coral can be super challenging at times...it can also be so fulfilling. When it's fulfilling...there is usually a great story behind it. Sure, it's fun to go to a frag swap and pick out anything your budget allows but what happens when you get home and have no idea what you bought?
Thanks to George @coralfish12g - and Shawn Snails from @fritzaquatics7123 for trusting me with the main stage for an hour. It was a ton of fun and I hope to do it again someday!

Thanks for checking out my ongoing series cover my attempts at raising baby clownfish. My DaVinci Clownfish have been spawning regularly for the past 6 months and I'm trying to better my practice each time I get the chance. Rearing clownfish fry has been a bit more difficult than I anticipated but I continue to learn each time!
Huge thanks to everyone who has helped along the way. We'll take a deep dive with some clownfish breeding experts soon. When you get the chance, check out Robert King's Clownfish on Facebook below.

There’s been so much going on lately. I can’t wait to share all of the stuff happening in the background with you!

Be safe! Make sure to protect yourself by wearing gloves and eye protection. A mask would be good too! Zoa Garden's are some of the most underrated gardens for coverage in the hobby. Have fun!

The reefing hobby is an absolute blast but we should also think about taking proper steps to prevent flooding. Whether that be flooding from the display tank itself or your RODI reservoir…water will find a way AND can do a lot of damage.
**NOTE** You'll need a shutoff valve if you're RODI unit didn't come with one. Like this: marinedepot.com/partners/idevaffiliate.php?id=217&url=3973

A big thank you to Tyler (@inland_reef) for the quick answer to my issue! It's ALWAYS good to ask more experienced reefers or hobbyists with specific knowledge on a subject. MOST are willing to help you with your issue.

I have been consuming an amazing amount of information and studying methods for raising the baby clownfish fry over the last month or so. If I had to distill all of it into two words? BE PREPARED. There are several things that need to happen in concert with one another to successfully raise the fry.

Disclaimer: I have never bred clownfish before so if you’ve had success, I would love any advice. My goal is to take you through the entire breeding and rearing process. Ideally, I’d like to be successful in raising 10-20 babies - that’s my goal.
I haven’t decided what I will do with the other Weeping Willow frags. If you have any ideas, please let me know. I think one of them is going to be a reef-warming gift for another YouTuber but there’s still a couple left! I might have to include some zoanthids as well.

I’ve tried every option over the years but this one has been particularly satisfying. I was at my LFS to get food one day and noticed they had a couple sea hare’s in stock. This sea slug is such an interesting animal. If you’ve got an algae issue, the sea hare can take care of manually removing it while you figure out what’s causing the algae in the first place. A couple of cons include: inking and they need a lot of algae to survive. They can ink if they’re startled or picked on by other tank inhabitants. It might be best to run carbon while the slug is in your tank. The hair algae in my frag tank was INSANE. The sea hare took care of it in about 2 weeks.

Well, 2020 was...weird. Hopefully 2021 will bring a more positive experience! Hopefully that we can all meet up at some point in the new year. Maybe conventions and get togethers will be more bountiful - and - I hope that you have a Happy New Year!

This mixed reef tank is starting to enter the "mature" stage of it's life cycle. When parameters change they do so slowly. I've noticed a bit of a nitrate swing here and there but I'm guessing that's due to the fish. Current inhabitants of this nano tank: Golden Assessor, Yellow Coris Wrasse and a pistol shrimp. I'm thinking about a Watchman Goby for the all-yellow dream team, 😂
