A lot has changed in the 135g mixed reef tank since the last time we really talked about it. Most interestingly, after swearing off soft corals in this tank, I found myself adding more and more softies into this system, I guess I do have a soft spot for soft corals! Aside from the new […]
It is no secret that the “Weeping Willow” leather coral is one of the most sought after soft coral at the moment. There are different morphs out on the market but this particular strand of Japanese Weeping Willow from the Canadian reefer Josh (@rapfrog on Instagram) has got to be one of the most impressive […]

Somehow, we managed to catch 6 fish from both the 135g and 17g reef tank by either fish trap, night attacks, and ripping the reef tank apart ungracefully. Regardless of method, the task is done. They are all now living their best lives in their respective aquariums; although a bit of a kicker… after 3 […]

They are both enjoyable, so what are the major differences? Timestamps: 0:00 17g Tank Pre-trip walkthrough 2:32 135g Tank Pre-trip walkthrough 5:43 Floria trip (round […]

Previously, this fish was known as the Bristletail filefish, later most likely renamed by ORA in order to promote it’s ability to eliminate those pesky Aiptasias.

Merry Christmas my friends! It has been awhile since the last updates, and there are a lot to be caught up on. The 135g has been stable and running well, things are growing steadily. The 17g went through a re-scape and corals are settling back in. Time passes quickly these days, I felt more and […]
