Jellyfish Tanks 101: How They Differ From Reefs

Jellyfish tanks look nothing like most reef aquariums. Instead of trying to replicate a coral ecosystem, they focus on keeping delicate gelatinous animals calm, suspended, and clean. That shift in goal drives nearly every design decision, from tank geometry to water circulation and feeding routines.

Jellyfish are strong swimmers compared to many people’s assumptions, but they’re also highly sensitive to turbulence, surfaces they can tangle on, and sudden changes in water c ... Read more »

Therefore, it's crucial not only to know "what helps," but also "what is demonstrably safest for the reef." The following overview categorizes the typical symptoms, explai ... Read more »

Frag Tank Setup Guide for Coral Propagation

  Frag Tank Setup Guide for Coral Propagation Frag tank setups are designed to stabilize conditions for small coral colonies (frags) while keeping growth predictable. Whether you’re growing SPS, LPS, or soft corals, the goal is the same: consistent water quality, low stress handling, and the right light and flow from day one. Start with the right tank and stability Choose a tank size you can maintain easily—many successful frag systems start modestly and scale up. Focus on stable salinity and temperature mor ...

Coral Bleaching: Early Warning Signs and What to Do

  Coral Bleaching: Early Warning Signs and What to Do Coral bleaching—when corals lose their colorful symbiotic algae—often reflects heat stress and other environmental pressures. While some reefs can recover, repeated or severe bleaching events can cause long-term damage, including slower growth, disease vulnerability, and declines in fish and tourism. With ocean temperatures rising and marine heatwaves becoming more frequent, early recognition and rapid response are increasingly important for reef resilience. Early ... Read more »
