My sister's fiancé is an avid diver and seemed interested in my reef hobby so for christmas I sent him some LR, ceriths and some aiptasia as a little desk experiment. Well the LR bag tore and had some die off I hadn't planned for and it nuked the aiptasia. I think he was disappointed at first but was eager to continue on a small setup.
He seemed interested in the coral keeping and I sent him a ton of information on Reef Jars, basic setups and had numerous phone calls totaling several hours about reefing. He ended up getting an air pump, 1 gallon jar and ABI reef light and seemed increasingly excited about keeping some easy coral. Today he went to a LFS and picked up 2 lbs of LR, a few hermits and snails and a Kenya tree. Wrote out the instructions to acclimate them and seems like he will be finishing the jar setup later today.
This build thread will be a proxy build thread for his first reef setup. Any tips on guiding him? Tagging @brandon429 as I know he likes stuffing animals in tiny containers as much as I do.
