Nanoreefblog.com is exactly one month old today (don’t worry, I can’t believe it either) and things have been going great thanks to our wonderful readers.
On Friday I got a lovely message from one of the admin’s over at TheReefTank.com, the email went something like this,

How much would you spend on an Australian Scolymia coral? $100, $400, maybe even $500? If the 500 is is upper limit, I’m afraid you’ll be losing out on this beauty. With just over three hours left on this ebay auction for the Insane Aussie Scolymia, the current bid is siting on $560.

Via a recent twitter update (which has since been removed), it seems as if reefbuilders.com is undergoing a bit of a redesign. Either that or they’ve been hacked or something else is up with this popular blog. This is what we found following the link from the tweet.
Can anybody shed some light on this?

In the December issue you’ll [...]

Heres the deal — the sea hare is a member of cleanup crew member — only really talked about as a last resort.
Difficult to keep alive — but with a worthy reputation.
I have a closed loop system. As such I rely on my live rock filtration to do my managing of nasties and goodies in my [...]

One of the most important items any reef aquarium hobbyist can spend money on is a good book. Yes it might be true that the internet offers just as much useful information that books do these days, but you have to admit, there is nothing like sitting down in your favourite chair with a nice [...]

Fellow nanoreefer and friend, OwlBassboy, recently posted on his site about other reefkeepers saying that nanoreefs are cruel. Seems like these people are closed minded…
I personally do not see anything wrong with my stock being kept in a nano, I have 3 fish, a flameback dwarf angel, ocellaris clown and a pyjama cardinal. Would you [...]

As reef aquarium hobbyists we all know that most of our livestock comes from the reefs. We are all aware of the various illegal collection techniques used including the use of cyanide to collect reef fish. I found this great video on Tumblr and had to share it with everybody.
