Hello fellow reef lovers!
I have been building and maintaining numerous reef and marine fish aquariums since 2008. For a few years i bred clowns and Bangaii Cardinals. Very needy critters but i really enjoyed it. At one time i had 11 tanks full of different themes, all Monti’s, or all schrooms, softies ect. along with various fish.

My favorite fish was my black and white clown female. She was one of the first ones i purchased. No matter how many rookie mistakes i made she survived. God love her, she was a tough old gal. She had several hubbies,,,some she tolerated for many years,,, a couple males she outright made herself a widow. Her old age was obvious before she passed,,, she had almost as many wrinkles on her face as me.

Now i am down to just my 180 gal. Its been a closed reef for several years so all inhabitants are aged and healthy.

Several years ago i bought an infinity zero edge tank and it has been in my garage all wrapped and pristine waiting for the day i would find the time to start it. It is beautiful! And my grandkids are now old enough to know better than to stick their fingers in the invisible water. Its mesmerizing.

I’ve included pics to share.

Do you need any extra flow in that tank or is the water from the pump enough? I didn't know you can buy them . Thought people made them at home
I have it at low flow at this time, I didn’t want to float these little schrooms and anemones over the edge,, not quite attached firmly yet.
I don’t know if they are still available,,, I don’t think this kind is, maybe another brand.
I bought this many years ago.

Wait what is that? Is that what spawned?
Yes, it is a Sarcophyton, aka Toadstool, leather coral. Just the stem is over 10 inches around. When it’s fully open it is 20+ inches across.

When I got it it was just a little guy about an inch or so tall.

Will try again,,,,
This is my overgrown sarcophyton. Toadstool leather.
It spawns in my tank regularly. The stem is 10-12 inches diameter,, 20 inches tall and almost 2 ft wide when fully open. It was only 1 inch or so when I brought it home.
My clowns consider it their anemone and chase all the others away, including me when I’m working in the tank. Yes, they bite!
