Puffers are highly intelligent and make great aquarium occupants. Their behavior is interesting to observe, and they can interact with their keepers. As they go about their business in their tank, you can see their intelligence in action as they observe a situation and seem to consider various...
In the early days of marine aquarium keeping, the idea that damsels were the best saltwater fish for beginners became firmly entrenched in the minds of hobbyists. Somehow, we’ve never really taken the time to consider the logic of this idea, or to weigh the positive and negative consequences of...

A few weeks ago, we published an article exploring one of the most fascinating phenomena in marine biology: Coral spawning.
Shortly after publishing that article, we received exciting news:

Beginner Topic
Why One Alkalinity Test Does Not Tell the Whole Story
Alkalinity is one of those numbers reef keepers obsess over, and honestly, I get it. I do it too.
You run a test, you expect to see 8.3, and it comes back 7.8. Now your brain immediately starts doing reef math, panic math, dosing math, and “what did I screw up this time” math all at once.
Then...
Reef aquarists frequently discuss the point at which an aquarium can be considered “mature.” It is, in many ways, an elusive concept. Experienced hobbyists intuitively understand what they mean when they use the term, yet the mechanisms underlying that perception are not always easy to define. A...

Mixed reef
- Introduction
- I’ve been raising fish for over 35 years and took a break in 2020. In July of 2024 I broke down and modified a 30 gallon freshwater water box to start a sps dominant tank but ended up with a mixed reef system. I’ve had two resets on the tank in 18 months but it has finally stabilized and growing coral.
