Why He Gave Up On SPS For 3 Years (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CJ gave up on SPS in his current tank, then built an entirely new one just to chase it again. I got CJ from CJ's Aquariums on to talk through both of his reef tanks, and the story behind why he has two running side by side. His 75 gallon softy tank is closing in on four years old and runs on a lighting schedule most people would call overkill for soft corals. Right next to it sits a brand new SPS system he built specifically to make up for years of failing to keep SPS alive in the same tank. He
He Almost Gave Up This 90 Gallon Reef Tank (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I sat down with a reefer who almost gave up his 90 gallon tank until one coral store visit changed everything. On this episode of Focus Reefing I talk with Adrian, a saltwater reef hobbyist who built his entire SPS heavy 90 gallon reef tank almost completely off Facebook Marketplace deals. We get into his DIY rock scaping, his simple dosing routine with no controllers involved, and the honest moment he almost walked away from the hobby before a trip to Worldwide Corals brought the passion back.
The Coral Dosing Method He's Still Not Sold On (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I sat down with a reefer running his 200 gallon tank almost entirely on autopilot, and he still isn't sure his dosing method is worth the cost. I talk with Jaytee about the three tank transfers he pulled off in his first year, the dinoflagellate outbreak that nearly wrecked his sandbed, and why he moved to the moonshine method to cut water changes out completely. We also get into his lighting setup, his ongoing flow problems, and why he's drifted toward fish over coral lately. Jaytee runs a 200
Why JT Rebuilt His Reef Tank From Scratch (Not By Choice) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
JT's first tank was a peninsula build. Six months later, it's a completely different system. JT comes back to talk through why he walked away from his original peninsula reef and rebuilt into a custom 225 gallon tank instead. He gets into the sand debate that trips up a lot of reefers during a rebuild, how he reworked flow without a peninsula's tricky far side, and what it took to self-plumb a system for the first time. The growth six months in speaks for itself. JT is running a 225 gallon custo
Why He Stopped Keeping a Mixed Reef (opens the original)
Read excerpt
He walked away from a mixed reef because it stopped being fun, and rebuilt everything around one species: anemones. In this episode I sit down with Karam, known as @kreefer2, to talk about his 40 gallon Water Box anemone tank built around a Chandler's Rock centerpiece he saved for months before he even had a tank to put it in. We get into how he dialed in lighting and flow specifically for anemones, why he ditched the skimmer entirely and leans on bioballs and biopellets instead, and how he buil
