I would love to see the aggressiveness of each coral in your videos. It would help me immensely in placement. I got flashlight out the other night, and was very surprised to see 6” stingers swaying in the currents. Wow. Did some rearranging and still watching all of you videos. Thanks again and great job!

Curious if reefkeeping hobbyists want to share their opinions on the ethics of keeping corals that can't (readily) be aquacultured. I'm personally feeling like, unless you're a career marine biologist, it doesn't make much sense to be keeping corals that came straight out of the GBR or other reefs and that you can't propagate. I'm passionate about aquarium reefkeeping but I feel like in the end, we should still keep our thoughts on promoting the health of the earth's coral reefs, not just our own simulations of them. Thoughts?
@Jeff_G86

I'm not sure how an ethics arguments can be made for any of the things we keep considering the likelihood our inhabitants will die (shipping, acclimation, power outage, equipment failure, negligence, etc.) Not to get political but its the same as the gun control argument. People like guns and are willing to accept (or deflect) the consequences of their hobby. Clearly there are significantly more pressing ethical concerns in society than the non-aquacultured coral trade, but I personally share your concerns about housing them and I do think about it and avoid wild caught specimens in general.

This is a subject of great interest to me, my last reef tank was a 125 gallon back in 1995. It was coming along great when the wife decided to start smoking again and it really started going down hill. I ended up cutting my losses, sold off the fish and corals and got out. Want to get back in and am immersing myself in 30 years of tech improvements and absorbing as much wisdom from people who generously share there knowledge (such as yourself, thank you) Now my question, about induced spawning. My thoughts on the subject are this, once you can maintain healthy thriving corals it seems some are spawning accidently, mostly sps corals from what i can see. Has anyone tried to duplicate the lunar tidal cycle and daylength solar cycle completely? I'm talking set your pumps to immitate the tides perfectly, from low tide to high tide where for a couple hours the flow reduces to a slow roil as water flow reverses. For instance as the high tide starts going back out it slowly ramps up to it's maximum speed until the moon approaches the low tide point where the flow starts slowing again until you reach the near calm of the slack tide, then actually reverse your flow direction in your aquarium to mimic the next six hour twenty five minute cycle of the incoming tide, slowly ramping up your flow speed until you approach high tide and slowly ramp the speed back down to your high tide peak. But lets not stop there, now you actually need to match this to the actual position of the moon in the sky, corals are sensitive creatures and this may help them settle into a more natural biorythm. Now we do the same with the lighting, pick the lattitude appropriate to the coral's natural habitat and imitate the lengthening and shortening days of the annual solar cycle, complete with the slow ramping up of sunrise and vice versa for sunset. Match your full moon to new moon cycles with the tidal cycle of your water flow so the coral can get into a completely (fake) natural biorythm. Has anyone tried this? I have been searching the web but have found no info. To do this you would probably need to have a fairly sophisticated computer program to tie the lunar and solar cycles together in a cohesive synchronicity. Maybe I'm just being a 'tard but this makes sense to me, what do you think? Has someone else already tried this or is it just dumb?

Anthony Preciado ..... Lighting, Flow and water parameters to start 😊 Get that tank cycling before you do anything. Pick up a test kit and check your water throughout the cycling process. Pick yourself up a nice HOB filter and be sure to get one bigger than your tank requires. Down the road you can get a nice protein skimmer, but in the meantime you’ll rely on regular water changes to keep your water clean and replace trace elements. Sub to my channel if you’d like by clicking on my icon to take you there 😉
