I'm moving more towards a natural reef system to make maintenance a little easier. Here is a top 5 list of critters that help this process.

Good morning, I have one of the smallest, hands down cutest, most colorful fish on the planet for you today called a clingfish or Derillisus sp. that was recently found two and a half miles off the coast of St, Eustatius. When I first saw this tiny quarter inch fish through my 105 macro lens I yelled out immediately “I’m in love with a clingfish”! I have for sure never seen such an adorable face on a fish before and I may never see something this cute again, I mean look at that face!! This fish was very difficult too shoot not only because of how tiny it was but because it has a little suction-cup under it’s body and it’s constantly moving and re-attaching itself to any and every object it can find. This is why they are called clingfishes because of that little suction-cup which can be seen really well in the head-on shots. by Afishionado | May 18, 2017 | Events, Industry, Reef, Science
For first time this year, we presented Reef A Palooza / Afishionado award. Both Sanjay and I walked the floor and inspected all the booth and looked for our candidate for the best booth that had the creative, attractive, interactive and fun booth. Take a look and see who won and see what new products/items that they had in store for us! Enjoy. by Tidal Gardens | May 18, 2017 | Equipment, Reef, Video
Water chemistry is a huge deal in reef aquariums and there are many methods to help maintain good water quality. Because there are so many options it can be overwhelming on first glance, and it takes some time to figure out what they all do and what makes sense for your home aquarium. Let’s take a look at calcium reactors. Right off the bat, it has a scary name. Calcium. Reactor. I need a reactor for my tank? It’s actually not THAT complicated. It is essentially just a chamber that recirculates water and slowly dissolves calcium carbonate media.

Good morning readers, did you all have a great weekend out there?? I trust all of you did something for your mothers or at least dropped them a line.

So first off, who is SIRENAS you ask??
