Our first summer speaker will be Hadley England AKA Sydney Reefing! Hadley is a marine scientist located in Australia currently working on his PhD research involving trace element function in corals and how that affects bleaching. He also has two really interesting and immaculate home tanks...

So secret out is that one of the speakers coming up will be the head aquarist from this project. I visited last month and was really impressed with what they're trying to do: basically be a living bank of every tropical coral species found in Australia. They use RFID embedded frag plugs to...

Referring back to @MichaelB 's thread: Should Michael run a closed loop on his 210 gallon? Note he has two returns drilled in the top left/right, two center holes for drains. There are also 4x overflow holes drilled from when the tank had internal overflow boxes on the back of the bottom...

Good thing we have @Srt4eric

I've been working on getting some reef-related speakers to come and share some of their knowledge with us virtually. Note that many are not Bay Area specific and overseas, so timing can be tough, and need to be planned well ahead. Please vote for the ALL times that you most likely would be able...

Had some free time in Sydney at the tail end of our honeymoon and visited the aquarium. The large fish exhibits were pretty huge and lots of the fish we keep were a good 2x larger: Dugong:

So after moving my tanks out of my parents' place, my mom thought it was too quiet and not as blue! Enter my old nano: Overall Budget Goal: <$500 Ongoing Costs: $335/$500 Date Tank Cycle Began: 03/22/25 Tank Manufacturer & Model: 12g JBJ Nanocube DX (free) Equipment List: Light(s): 12" AI Coral...

Was going to grab 10 trochus but @robert4025 has 20% when you buy 15 so ended up loading up for other tanks!

Pretty healthy, not aggressive. Evicted because my old pair got the clown space in my main display. And @rxx2rxx2 is picking up this tank. Top right: I'm the third BAR caregiver after @Srt4eric . Fish won't go to the first taker, I'll be sending it to the best situation and member that shows...

Going to be putting one together on my tank but was wondering if people have them the exact length of their tank or keep them slightly smaller?

Maybe @yosemiteclimber or @svreef might have interest but I'm curious if anyone else here might have the skills needed for developing a website/app that's "simple" and reef related. I can DM you with more information. Thanks!
