Worlds Smallest SPS Reef
this reef is sealed and does not evaporate, that is what allows the size to work. total volume 1/2 gallon, the reef is four inches wide. There is an internal refugium that is lit continuously to provide enough oxygen to saturate the water

Go Slow |
| About Yourself: |
Retired buyer. Enjoy reef,boating,pwc,golf,snorkel,home improvement, my kid's sports (basketball,soccer,tennis,volleyball,track).
Got into the reef hobby in 2000. Got back into it in Dec 06. |
| Advice: |
Go slow. Do frequent water changes. Clean skimmer often.
Don't use bioballs (nitrates). Don't use crushed coral (nitrates) Do use macro algae in the refugium. Gac. Lots of indirect water movement. Jump on crisis' as soon as possible (aiptasia,hair algae,slime,hydroids,etc). Drip Kalk. The basics. |
