I have a 125 gallon captive bred/raised reef tank in our living room that I recently began putting together.
These are my first specimen...

What do you do about aiptasia eradication. It's driving me nuts!

He does a lot at Seneca Park, too.

I once had a 50 gal. aquarium so I can imagine a bit of what you are doing and the work and the joy and the expense involved.
Congratulations all the way around. Phenomenal color and clarity.
BTW I used filtered water through my water filter on tap. It kept the aquarium much clearer. Not that yours could be any better than this!

(14,910 posts)I use RO water exclusively for all my water changes; and I do 5 gallon changes per week; 20 per month to keep the clarity in the tank.
We're taking a vacation to the Florida Keys next month, I may look into renting some gear to get the 'real' thing...we'll see...

(22,380 posts)Thru a fluke in life I spent a lot of time in the Keys over the last 15 years. Ask me almost anything about anywhere.

They have tried extensive reintroduction programs in the wild, to no avail...we're destroying our planet.

There's an acronym for the threats:
HIPPO
Habitat loss
Invasives (Introduced Species)
Population
Pollution
Overconsumption
Population should be first, though the acronym wouldn't work. But it is human population that drives all the other factors. Without a reduction in human population, there really is no hope of making gains in the other areas.

(9,958 posts)I never had success with anemones. I did have a convict worm goby that lived to be 19 years old. He was about a foot long. He died last year.
For reference, not mine.
