I liked this quote at the end of the article:

Not that I play chess, but reefkeeping is much like a really intense chess match. You need to stay at least 20 moves ahead of your opponent just to stay in the game… not to win… but to just hopefully stay in the game. So enjoy your reef tank, but don’t get too comfortable as your “opponent” is just waiting for you to make a wrong move. Stay ahead of your opponent and you both can stay in the game for many years to come.


If organisms are growing well in a reef aquarium, it's a dynamic system which needs regular adjustments. If you don't pay attention, bad things will happen fast.

The scope of Joe's tank is mind-boggling. There are some nice public aquariums on the west coast, but in terms of corals, there's nothing out here that compares to his tank.
150g reef, 2x ROIII, 250-watt BLV, Bluewave VII, 2x110 VHO URI-Actinic, Euro-Reef CS 6-2, 30g sump, 50g refugium, Barr Aquatic Kalkwasser reactor 6x24, Reeftek calcium reactor 6x12, PanWorld 100PX+Quiet One 1200 return, Stream 6100+6080

I was lucky enough to be there and take part in feeding time. An entire tube of cyclopeeze was gone before you could blink!


The tank is awesome... and to hear of his trials and triblutations is awesome as well. If you ever get to talk with him, ask about the isopods. :)
