Sharbuckles Reef Tanks

I noticed you've picked up some sponsors and followers over the past couple of months! Your social is expanding!

I'm curious on your thoughts of the Illumagic Pixel Reefer and Fragger. Have you measured PAR from these lights? Wondering how they would do with SPS in a IM 15g nano?

Yes, I have! A few fantastic companies have hopped on board!

As for the pixels, I love them. I haven’t had a chance to check for par levels. I’ve been a super lazy reefer this past while.

Based on the power of the pixels over my tanks and the par levels posted online I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t grow sps.

Actually I plan on converting the 45A to sps eventually.

Took a step away from softies today and added four beautiful LPS pieces to my IM40L today.

Some photos taken under only Illumagic fragger lighting.

Really great composition in the 45A. Beautiful tank!

My corallimorph collection is getting pretty awesome. Here’s four of my favourites, all in a row.

Okay.. my tanks need some serious water change love. Going to mix some water in the morning and give them all a 20% change!

Currently fish sitting this pair of clowns. I’m enjoying their energy but my prized toadstool is super ticked off having them hosting.

Helped a friend set up his new tank yesterday so hopefully I’ll have this pair gone in a few weeks.

Well…. I didn’t do the water changes! I need to kick myself and get this stuff done.

I did however add a new cherub angel from a local tank shut down and another very cool bowerbaanki frag!

Water change completed on the 55g. Let’s see if the cyano comes back.

Those toadstools are massive!

Those toadstools are massive!

They definitely are quite large. You should see them when they’re open fully.

Favourite of my three tanks right now. By a country mile.

This is my most prized possession. A super bright pink and HUGE Yuma. Looking so good today.

That yuma looks amazing!

Finally getting ahead on algae issues in my newest tank. Weekly water changes with AF Reef Salt are doing the trick.

I had a crazy thing happen in my UNS tank. When refilling water after a change, my maxi jet pump malfunctioned and electrocuted the tank. My blood shrimp instantly died as well as the vast majority of microfauna. Dead amphipods were floating everywhere.


I did another water change and added carbon.

Over the week the coral started to slowly open again. Things seem to have stabilized.

Nice recovery

Thanks Brandon! Looking even better today. Amazing what a little carbon and some patience will do.

My obsession of lobophyllia continues… two beautiful pieces from a day trip to Montreal.
