Tank Builds

So, my wife, Alex and I have been into reef tanks since 2011. It's been quite the journey. Our main setup is a 450-gallon display tank. It's been with us through thick and thin. But, life happened—we had our daughter, Izzi, and, well, the tank didn't get the love it deserved for a while. Recently, we've given it a fresh start, and it's like falling in love with reefing all over again.

Not stopping there, we set up a 150-gallon frag grow-out tank a couple of months ago. What started as a modest project quickly escalated into a full-blown coral obsession. The tank is now brimming with vibrant frags, each more captivating than the last.

From the very beginning, we've been regulars at Liquid Kingdom. Over time, we've built a strong friendship with the owners, Tom and Deb. While they weren't initially coral aficionados, they've embraced our enthusiasm. We've partnered with them to provide a diverse range of corals in their shop, expanding their offerings and sharing our passion with the community.

To accommodate our growing collection, we've recently added a Mixed Reef RedSea Reefer 425 G2 Max to Liquid Kingdoms shop. It's been a fantastic addition, offering both functionality and aesthetics. We also ordered a Waterbox frag tank, which unfortunately arrived with a crack. Kudos to Waterbox for their excellent customer service—they promptly replaced it. We're excited to get it up and running this Thursday. I along with help from Alex will be maintaining these tanks and selling corals out of mainly the frag tank but also some show pieces out of the RedSea display.

All these developments have culminated in the birth of our new venture: Marine Alchemist. Its our new business where we will focus on mainly aquacultured corals but will also order in wild. We also will be culturing phytoplankton and copepods. Check us out at marine-alchemist.com.

Stay tuned for more updates, and happy reefing!
