Our 400 Gallon In Wall Natural Sun-Lit Reef

Hi, been lurking for a long time ...
Not sure on the UV, you have some type of filters on the tubes correct ?

PS to call someone tag must look like this @jdpiii3 ...

Glad to have you here! Yes, I have a blue netting filter that I have used during the peak summertime intensity. Also, the domes were formulated to filter out infrared heat transfer. And for color spectrum adjustments.

I would love to measure the full light spectrum one day. I've had a light spectrometer on my Christmas list for a while and haven't received one yet.

Let's have a warm welcome for our newest addition on Our Natural Sun-lit Reef. Here we have "Bo" our Sohal Tang he needed to be rehomed from the previous owner because he outgrew his last residency.

I'm thinking he'll fit in just fine with his new tankmates.

There is definitely a new Alpha in town. The sheriff is in.

That is a beautiful fish.

That is a beautiful fish.

Thanks Sean!

Breakfast on Our Natural Sun-lit Reef even comes with a comedy show.

It's just getting to the best part of Marlin's act…and just then the sea cucumber looks over to the mollusk and says: With fronds like these, who needs anemones?

On tonight's episode of Jacques Cousteau after dark we search for new life on the reef.

Who else is a flashlight searcher?

Greetings reefing friends, we have a new addition to show off on Our Natural Sun-lit Reef.
I would like to introduce 'Nina' She is our Desjardin Sailfin Tang
While she will not replace my lost companion Stella, she is a welcomed addition on our reef!

Just a little 12,000 grit micro mesh sandpaper to help keep the acrylic looking good on Our Natural Sun-lit Reef.

Wishing everyone a blessed Easter.

It's time for a midday snack!

Happy Monday, it's a very sunny day on the reef!

That sailfin looks new, how long have you had him?

Yes, it is new. it was added a few weeks ago, I picked it up just after my dog Stella passed away it was in QT for a few weeks.

He’s beautiful, how did the Sohal react?

No Issue with anyone. the Sailfin is quite large when the fins are fully extended.

Powered by the sun!

Not sure how I missed this stunning build! Natural Tampa sunlight is just over the top amazing. Just how mother nature intended the corals to be viewed. I visit Sarasota often. Can't replicate your sunshine in Ohio unfortunately. Maybe that is why I still run daylight halides. Very impressive reef (emphasis added)!

Great to have you following along never too late to join the journey.

We're coming up on our one year anniversary since refresh and 12 years since we started this project.

Not going to lie there were many times over the years I wanted to throw in the towel, so glad that persevered and kept the system going.
