My smaller system has really come around in the past few months. I’ve had this on Bolus for about a month and a half and seeing good results. Interesting observation (I was skeptical of when told it might happen initially): the corals burn each other more when they come into contact. Lps and zoas are puffier too.

Adam is joined by Daniel and Juno from Monsoon Aquatics, one of the largest exporters of Australian corals and fish. They discuss their sustainable methods for collecting and farming stunning corals from various regions of northern Australia and the Great Barrier Reef.

New BTR episode out now! Adam invites back guest Allan Vo (CRT Reefs), to dig deeper into his new adaptation of the reef feeding method known as ‘the concoction’. They discuss Alan’s reasoning behind it and new adaptations he has applied to it, as well as deriving inspiration from a recent trip he made to Vietnam. They discuss tips for troubleshooting coral issues and developing your reefing intuition or ‘sixth sense’. From a young age, Allan was raised in a home with reef tanks around and has been learning and obsessing over corals and fish since he was a kid. Allan works hand and hand on tanks with his father, Hung Vo. Be sure to check out Alan’s ongoing thread on Reef2Reef, as well as his feeding concoction video to keep up with his progress and methodology.
