In today's episode of Reefs and Reptiles, I'll be discussing my fish tanks and ponds.  I currently have about 7 different types of tanks and ponds and some are going well and other need a lot of work.  My pea puffer 20 gallon long tank in particular needs help.  This tank has no balance, and as a result it is covered in algae.  I am going to try and remedy this problem by putting my pea puffers in a 40 gallon breeder tank.  I am also moving my ocellaris clownfish into a 40 gallon breeder tank.  The take away from this episode is to "pace yourself" - as fish and reptile keepers we have a tendency to accumulate a lot of "pets" in a short amount of time.  With work, family and other responsibilities it gets hard to take care of many pets at once.  My advice to everyone is to slow down.   Take your time putting together a new tank and add the pets (fish or reptiles) last.  Let the plants or corals take hold and grow out before adding any organisms.  This will lead to longer term success.

We discuss Food, feeding, and nutrition in this episode.

How are we going to make $25,000 annually in 12 square feet of the house? In this episode, we "dive" into the start of a big project- setting up a saltwater reef tank. Specifically, we're going to be setting up a tank to house and breed sea anemones along with a colony of clownfish. Along the way, we'll be working on our glasswork skills, furniture refinishing, plumbing, electrical, automation systems, and a whole lot of biology, ecology, and chemistry. Better yet, we're going to make this a profitable endeavor. At the very least, the tank is going to pay for itself by selling baby anemones (and helping to save wild anemones and coral reefs along the way). The long-term goal, though, is to actually make a substantial annual profit from this tank. You also get to hear about some of my own adventures and misadventures diving on coral reefs around the world.
