Do you speak fish?

We do! Well, we like to think we do and would love to share our experiences with you. We're a beginner-friendly Reef Aquarium community featuring saltwater fish tank discussions, reef aquarium supply reviews, free photo gallery and more!

The aim of ReefChat is to create a community where information about keeping our pieces of the ocean can be shared. While no site can contain all the information, we are up for the challenge. You can help us out by submitting articles, reference material, links and other information. To do so, you will need to register and the best part it is free.

So why not join today?

In my previous article we talked about a modification dubbed the “Hacksaw” method. This modification conservatively increased the flow of the Maxi-Jet 1200 to around 400 GPH. But is there other mods that produce even more flow? The answer is, Yes!

Propagating Zoanthids posted by admin	Number of views: 2786 Comments: 0
All Photo credits: Michelle Stuart Coral Credits: Michelle Stuart Zoanthids are wonderfully coloured animals which are often to as colonial anemones, corals or button polyps. Zoanthids come from reefs all around the world and in a variety of different colonizing formations. Their ease of care and colourful appearance make them ideal candidates for a novice reef keeper. However, hidden within these beautiful creatures is one of the most potent neurotoxins found anywhere on earth, and new reef keepers need to be made aware of their hidden dangers. - From fishtanksandponds.net
