SMASH may be a bit overly dramatic, but I felt like it took the same amount of commitment to remove my beloved frogspawns and hammers from this system — cue the hoarding reefer syndrome! — Chapters: 0:00 The issue 2:05 Getting to work! 4:09 A bit of fresh air 4:46 The results 12:53 Strange growth […]

A long overdue update on the 135g mixed reef tank after the crash earlier this year. I have tried my best to clear out space so the tank is not as overcrowded… alas, corals are reclaiming the freed space already, so it looks like a Fall Cleaning is in order. We also take a sneak […]
It always occurs around the same time—February to April of each year usually yields a big disaster (or two) in my systems—which seems to coincide with a lot of hobbyists’ experiences as well. Some claim it’s the season, some point to the pollen, and others attribute it to the chloramine being added to the source […]
Vic from World Wide Corals stopped by for a visit last month (video on WWC: https://youtu.be/sC81xc3SGUg?si=twIRb622zo_QpdVY), while here, I asked him to please share some advice on what he would do if this was his tank. Thankfully, he did not say, “start over!” In the second part of the video, I shared why I chose […]
This is a rare case of jumping onto something that I was in the know. Usually hobbyists balk at paying more than $10 for a damselfish, let alone $40. But when a Starcki Damselfish suddenly showed up on my local reef club’s forum, I immediately contacted the seller for pick-up. Here is the story… — […]
Another multi parts video, following the haphazard journey of the 135g system that could use a bit more stability… We restocked the Clean-up Crew (CUC) from reefcleaners.org, introduced a few Peppermint Shrimp to combat the Aiptasia situation, swung by the Reefing USA swap with 20 minutes to spare, and absolutely demolished the Monti-cap colonies that […]
This video is like a return to my older vlog days, plenty of topics to cover and we experience them together. I introduced a Harlequin Shrimp to the 135g reef tank (again), now that the wrasse is out of the system. I also had the pleasure of welcoming back my Reef Sensei Jim @telegraham; we […]
Melanurus Wrasse, usually a fantastic utility fish in most reef aquarium — unfortunately is being rehomed in my case, due to a very specific set of circumstance. I am currently battling Aiptasia (and Asterina Starfish, to a lesser extend); Aiptasia Eating Filefish has not yielded any result, nor has F-Aiptasia provided any long-term win. As […]
As a part of my Taiwan + Japan adventure, we visited the Sunshine Aquarium located in Tokyo, Japan. It was a very, very crowded day but the aquarium surprised me with the amounts and range of exhibits. In particular, there is a super impressive Non-Photosynthetic Corals (NPS) Reef Tank that really caught my eyes. Fish-wise, […]
Canada, we’re back! In this remote episode, we visited the Coral Reef Shop located in Burlington, Ontario. I think “Gentleman” is the perfect term to describe Red, the Care Taker / Share Owner of the store. While not a large store, the Coral Reef Shop is a well stocked, healthy, vibrant, knowledgeable local fish store […]
