I recently made the long drive to visit my friend Chris Meckley of ACI Aquaculture to see what he’s been up to, and I was astounded to see the amount of corals that he was growing in his... by Josh Saul | Mar 18, 2020 | Corals, Video
www.tidalgardens.com This video is all about Psammocora. What kind of tank is Psammocora best suited for? I see this coral being used as a ground cover in SPS dominated tanks as well as mixed reefs with other stony corals. It is a very fast growing coral and can quickly cover rock work basically acting as a much more exotic replacement for coralline algae. Let’s get into the Psammocora coral care tips. #tidalgardens #coral #reeftank Video: Camera Gear List on Amazon Canon C200 Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS macro Canon EF MP-E 65mm f/2.8 macro Sigma Art 18-35mm f/1.8 Free Fly Movi Pro Stabilizer Kessler Crane Motorized Slider Copyright Information: This video was shot and edited by Tidal Gardens.

The Red Sea offers some of the best growths of corals in the world, which explains why I keep heading back there. So you’ll understand when I say it’s the reefs that are impressive, not necessarily the... by Admin | Feb 13, 2020 | Corals, Photography
A colorful wrasse swims over soft corals, but this isn’t the South Pacific, this is the dark and cold waters off the UK coastline. Imagine if you will, being raised in a fishing community centuries... by Saltwater Smarts | Feb 2, 2020 | Corals, Fish, Invertebrates, Reef, Science
There’s an oft-repeated adage in this hobby that you can take to the bank: “Only bad things happen quickly in marine aquariums” (or some variation upon that general theme). In other words, while problems in marine aquariums seem to crop up overnight, effectively solving said problems tends to be a frustratingly long, drawn-out affair. Getting overeager to see results and jumping from one “quick fix” to the next is counterproductive at best. One of the more obvious examples of this phenomenon can be seen when impatient hobbyists use medication to treat a sick fish. In this situation, the counterproductive behavior (on the hobbyist’s part) can take one of two forms: either assuming a fish is cured and stopping treatment prematurely because the symptoms seem to have abated, or repeatedly switching from one medication to the next because the symptoms don’t seem to be resolving quickly enough. In the former scenario, it’s virtually assured that the disease symptoms will reappear, potentially after the fish has been introduced or reintroduced to a stocked system, which means the other fish will then have been exposed. Remember, it’s critical to follow medication dosing instructions to the letter and to complete the full course of treatment. by Tidal Gardens | Jan 29, 2020 | Corals, Feeding, Reef, Video
This video is all about sun corals from the genus Tubastraea. Sun corals get their name from their bright yellow coloration and sun-like appearance of each polyp. Despite their bright sunny name, these corals are non-photosynthetic which means they do not get any energy from the light unlike most corals in the hobby. Their popularity is rooted both in their beautiful appearance as well as the challenge to keep them alive and thriving. Feeding and nutrition is so important for these corals that it frames the discussion of just about every aspect of their care requirements as you will see. Let’s get right into it! #tidalgardens #coral #reeftank Video: Camera Gear List on Amazon Canon C200 Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS macro Canon EF MP-E 65mm f/2.8 macro Sigma Art 18-35mm f/1.8 Free Fly Movi Pro Stabilizer Kessler Crane Motorized Slider Copyright Information: This video was shot and edited by Tidal Gardens.
