Tidal Reef

[Tidal Reef]

Hi all, After nearly 12yrs stopped reefing due to some commitment, now I'm back to this hobby. Once you are reefer, you can't stop reefing. Decide to go for 2.5 x 2 x 1.5ft display tank with sump tank set up.

My Tidal Reef journey begins... going for refuge system for my sump set up. Tank up for cycling period.

Slowly stocking up after the cycling period, the reef getting into in shape...

When did you start your tank? How long ago? Its beautiful.

Beautiful tank! I have a question though, is tidal reef just a name you have come up with, or have you found a way to lower the water line to expose corals to air for X amount of time then raise the water line back to normal like the real tides in nature? I've toyed with this idea and have come up with a way to do that. It works in theory but I haven't actually attempted it to know if it works in practice.
That would be impressive if you did! Not that your tank isn't already impressive

Thanks [emoji108], Tidal Reef is just a name. Nothing related to any practice or theory on the tank.
