Introduction:
How do I start... maybe the beginning. I think I got my first saltwater aquarium when I was 17-18 to 22 years ago, I decided to play mad scientist to my current brackish tank and bump up the salinity in hopes to keep a starfish. Turns out the demon gobies I had eat starfish.. so I went on and purchased a damsel and it lived. Knowing nothing I was using lava rock and a trickle filter. That quickly escalated into a...

Let's jump right in! Tell us about your system!
This home was built, and we had our aquarium built into the wall with all equipment being put into the garage, so no dirty smell of the skimmer anymore for my wife (Happy wife, happy life!).
Here are a few pics of the tank being installed:
This system has now been running for 2 years. The system is back on track after a big power outage, but all corals seems happy and...

Introduction
Ever think you would see a coral reef in the mountains of Pennsylvania? Well, I built one in my basement. Hi, everyone! My name is James, better known as Duke of Coral 62 on social media platforms. I've been reefing since 2005 but like everyone else who started in the hobby I had no idea what I was doing. I started with a 55-gallon tank with 2 bulb PC lighting and a canister filter. I used a garden hose to fill the tank...

Build Thread: Tusi's tank thread
Editor's Note: This is the first time in the history of our Reef of the Month that we have revisited a tank that we previously featured. However, we think you will all agree that Tusi's reef is a tank that is highly deserving of this honor. This is a spectacular reef that absolutely blows us away as we have continued it to follow in the years since it was first featured back in 2015. We decided that this month would be a great time...
