This tank is setup in Dec. 2007 with Solaris I4, most corals grow from 2" or smaller frags.

Your system definitely has the wow factor!

Fantastic coral... I covet your acros! ;)

Do the (3) adjoining tanks share a common filtration system?

Your corals have been growing for two years from 2 inch frags into what they are today, that is some great growth.

I have received quite a few PM for buying or trading my corals, and asked if they could come my office to have a look of my tanks. Sorry I do not have time to respond one by one.

I do not sell my corals, I donate my excess corals to local reef clubs or none profit organizations such as schools.

Long Island Reef Association (LIRA) hold their monthly meeting at my office, usually the attendees win the draw can choose and cut a fresh frag from my tanks. Here is the link if you are local and interested in joining LIRA.

My office only opens for the attendees of LIRA at their monthly meeting, however, I will try to make exception if you come out of town. Here is a link to my office and a picture of the building.

My friend Joe runs Atlantis Marine World "“ the largest all-living, closed-system coral reef display (20000 gallons) in the world, which is only 30 minutes away from my office, it is a "Must See' for reef hobbyists. Here is the link,

Jake is observing the corals under 3 different LED lights, the tank is obviously too short for him.

Required PAR for Your Tank

Required PAR for Your Tank

Sanjay was giving advice to the LIRA meeting attendees,


"PAR from James' head is enough for LPS, but if you want to grow SPS, you need PAR similar to my head."
