Welcome to R2R! My mom was born in Cape Verde and she came to the USA in 1949 as a teenager. She still owns the house with 10 acres of property. It is very different there now. No longer all Portuguese. As a former Portuguese colony, it has become sociedade mestiça. Well back to your tank! Can't wait to see your tank and again welcome to R2R!!!!

Welcome!!! Have you got pics of your native corals? Would love to see how they differ from what is typically sold in the hobby.

Sure, I'll do it soon, my aquarium is only 75 liters, but I've been using it more as an experiment, maternity corals for my next aquarium I will try to take the best photos to upload!

So you have to come visit, I'm on the island of sao vicente (Mindelo), Many want to see my tank, but I'm ashamed to show for now;Shamefullyembarrased, I'm sure to have a beautiful coral aquarium in the future, starting this year !! With your help! Here we don't have a material like filtration, circulation, and others, I have to buy everything online and the USA doesn't send it to CV! But I have been able to stand only with water changes.

Welcome to R2R Cverdereef!

There are many ways to run a reef, I’m sure you will find one that works with what’s available to you.

Im looking forward to pics of the tank too!

Here are some pictures of 5 native Zoanthus, and the last one a hard coral (ball). There are more but these are the ones I have in my aquarium. Green is usually the dominant color.
