They are all the rage, they come in just about any colour combination, they command crazy prices – this is the group of corals known as the Chalices and they are ideal corals for a nanoreef (if you can afford them).
Today it is almost impossible to see a photo of a reef tank (nano, medium [...]

The guys over at Reefbuilders have put together a pretty cool animated gif image highlighting the differences between the NanoCustom’s and LeDio LED spotlights.
To be clear, keep in mind that these lamps are not all of the same wattage, number of LEDs and different optics. The images were made with the LEDs about 15″ above [...]

The guys over at CoralMorphologic have delivered yet another stunning piece of reef cinema. Take a look at this video:

The video shows the crab alternating between preening its own algae covered carapace and the fluorescent tentacles of the Ricordea florida on which it lives. It is possible that the crab may ingest some of the [...]

And now for something completely different! I have no further details about this mysterious, yet beautiful looking fish other to say that is really caught my attention when I first saw it. What do you think of the Hybrid Stripe Candy Cane Cookeolus Japonicus?
Note: I highly doubt this would make a good nano fish as [...]

Two new freeze dried coral/fish food products from ReefPhyto have been announced.
Freeze Dried Rotifiers

Freeze-Dried Rotifers are the naturally-enriched feed for nearly all larval fish, both marine and freshwater.
The small size (100-200 microns) of this zooplanktonic organism allows them to be easily ingested into the mouths of baby fish. Naturally enriched by microalgae, rotifers are highly [...]

It is with great pleasure that I welcome reefkeeper.com to nanoreefblog.com as a sponsor. They carry a large range of reef aquarium products, and having used them before to purchase my goods, their customer service is excellent.

As a dedicated hobbyist himself, Adnaan Talibhusein (known as Adnaan on many forums) wanted to create a place where [...]

When this site debuted in November last year, I promised a giveaway. Granted it has taken a little longer to put this thing together, but once you see the prizes, I’m sure you’ll agree that the wait was worth it….

Want to know what you could win? Here’s the list of prizes:

Australian Acropora Frag Pack or [...]

So you heard about the caretaker job for the Australian island? Perhaps the climate was a little too tropical for you? If it was, why not check out this position a Puffin Warden on the slightly more temperate island of  Skomer.
Skomer, two miles off the Pembrokeshire coast, has no blazing sunshine, coral reef or exotic [...]

When the slick looking Maxspect Aquarium LED unit from China made itself known late last year, it really peeked the interest of numerous hobbyists. I for one think the units look really stylish, dare I say ‘Elos’ inspired? Because of it’s relative compact size, biggest unit being only 400mm (15.7inches) long,  the Maxspect would make [...]

I’m excited to welcome Unique Corals as our newest sponsor. I’ve long admired the amazing collection of corals they offer on their site and to have them supporting nanoreefblog.com is really something special. Here is a few words from them.

Unique Corals is a site devoted to connecting the ocean’s finest corals with the worlds most [...]
