So much happened this week, too much. First, I build a fish acclimation box out of spare aquarium-specific egg crates (https://amzn.to/3kQYqQd), next, I bought and installed the IceCape CO2 Scrubber (https://amzn.to/3cbk0eg), and finally, the Aiptasia Eating Filefish was rehomed and I picked up my mini-raffle winning plus more, thanks to the generosity of the local […]

In this update of the 135g tank, we have added a McCosker’s Flasher Wrasse from Ocean Garden Reef from the DMV area, as well as adding 7 new Zoanthid frags to the Zoa Garden. Not everything is amazing however, as bubble is back, even after the Vibrant treatment, and I am contemplating the next step. […]

Mastertronic from Focustronic is the newest contender in the automated water testing arena for reef tanks. I have run the Alkatronic and Dosetronic since the early days of the 135g build with solid results and reliability, so I welcomed the release of the Mastertronic with open arms! While there are a few UI tweaks to […]

Amphidinium Dinoflagellates, be gone! After a solid two months of effort, dino is no more… until the next imbalance, I am sure. In the meantime, here is a document of what worked for me and what did not, YMMV depending on the type of dino you have going on in your tank. Best wishes to […]

Recently, Yellow Tang’s price has gone to the moon and it is shaping up to continue rising due to the Hawaii ornamental fish ban. It is hard to argue against taking an animal out of it’s natural habitat especially if their natural habitat is perfectly fine, but seeing where the price of yellow tang is […]

In the battle between nano reactors, there are few players. Today we are looking at the AquaMaxx FR-S Internal Media Reactor with Sicce Pump (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3pi7vTp) vs Innovative Marine Mini-Max Aqua Gadget Media Reactor (Amazon: https://amzn.to/2Y8INc7). After the comparison between the two solid media reactors, I would like to introduce you to a cryptic goby […]

When Soft Corals take over!! (National Aquarium, Baltimore)

The National Aquarium (AKA Baltimore Aquarium) – is a stable for my public aquarium fix as I live semi-close by. It has been a few years since I visited as heavy crowd never made for a enjoyable experience (it is a popular aquarium!). With the pandemic, National Aquarium implemented a time-slot entry system, paired with […]

Dead corals. Mistake I made during 5 days blackout.

2021 is off to a rocky start. In the continued effort to combat dinoflagellate, I committed the tank to a 5 days blackout. All was fine until things started dying off and releasing the previously locked up nutrient back into the system, causing a massive nutrient spike (my fault for not monitoring). As a result, […]

Amphidinium Dinoflagellates, that is what I have. In order to beat this stubborn specie of dino, I am taking the following steps: Raise NO3 to 10 – 20 ppm, maintain PO4 to .1 – .15 ppm, dose Silica, Bacteria blend (Microbacter7), and Phytoplankton (Reef Nutrition Phyto Feast Live). IMHO those are probably making the most […]

My secret to catching fish in a reef tank 🐠

Inappropriate Reefer December 13, 2020

My favorite way to catch fish is via the Night Attack. I would either go in with a flash light (ideally red light – which I do not have), or simply turn on the tank light abruptly. While the fish are all disoriented, I would go in for the catch. Of course, this only works […]
