It’s that time of year!!! Do you have specific reefing plans for 2024?

Happy New Year!!! It’s that time of the year again to look back and to look forward. 2023 was a year filled with adventure for many of us on our reefing journey. It may not have turned out how we planned, but it likely included both ups and downs and changes along the way. As we start into 2024, optimism is running high for some, and others are simply trying to maintain a positive direction. Please let us know if you have specific reefing plans for 2024! If so, feel free to share the details in the related discussion.

“The goal of Tidal Gardens is to offer the highest quality corals to those seeking a piece of that world without destroying it. We hope to instill a deep appreciation for the natural reefs and help develop a self-sustaining hobby that no longer requires the collection of fish and corals.”

I desperately want to acquire this gorgeous greentip torch coral from New Dawn Aquaculture; other than that I just want a functional reef with happy fish!

100% do

Replacing the stock Fluval Evo light!

Recently got a Seneye reef and discovered on the sandbed is just 35<40 PAR and even 4" from the light directly underneath is only reading 135.

Other than that its just getting more stability in everything

I have lots of fragging to do. A Hammer coral that is taking over the center of my tank. A Duncan coral that has grown way to close to the Hammer. Already fragged a Purple Stylophora that was in the Hammers reach. Hope to find local reefer to swap with because not happy with the credit offered by LFS. Also need to eliminate Vermetid snails.

I am going to try to go into advanced reefing. Like adjusting the alk of my salt mix, fine tuning light and flow for optimal coral growth and coloration, and to further study the species of animals that I keep. Maybe try propagating difficult species. I will start by reading books written by the experts, and get out of my comfort zone to see what’s possible. I also plan on speaking with and interviewing willing experts. I’ll see how far I get with that this year.
