Rachel is very proud that she is the only one who has done anything to this wonderful reef aquarium. She decorated the reef aquarium with many tank raised corals and mushrooms.
This reef aquarium was started using GARF GRUNGE TM and GARF BIOROX TM both of these products are completely seeded with all of the bacteria and Micro fauna that a reef aquarium will need to maintain any type of reef population.
EQUIPMENT LIST
LIGHTING - 3 Four foot 40 watt bulbs - 1 Blue Moon 2 Tritons
LIGHT HOOD - 1 Piece of tin foil - Rachel says that it is best if
you crumple the foil and then flatten it, this gives
the added benifit of having stars on your walls. The
light shines thru the small holes. :)
FILTER - NONE
SKIMMER - Air powered $20.00 plastic in tank Lee's skimmer
HEATER - 150 Watt
POWER HEADS - 2 Visi Jet 1000

- Ricordia - 8 colors
- Soft corals - 7 species
- Sponges 5 - colors
- Mexican Red Leg hermits - 25

This tank was set up by using 80 lbs. of GARF BIOROX TM and 20 lbs. of GARF GRUNGE TM.
- SIZE - 55 Gallon
- SALT - Ocean Pure - of course
- WATER - Kent Marine Reverse Osmosis
- TEMPERATURE - 80 Degrees

This reef is cleaned very little because the REEF JANITORSTM keep the glass and roclk very clean and algae free. The coralline algae has started to cover the aragonite BIOROXTM and this reef will soon be full of very fine tank raised live rock.

We are a Non Profit Organization
dedicated to advancing the knowledge of reef keeping. Our live rock
aquaculture research has produced many new techniques for sustaining marine
life and propagating corals. We are currently growing many species of sps
corals, mushrooms, etc. The Foundation is building a genetic bank in Idaho
with collections from around the World. We specialize in reef janitors, and
have shared this research with many people who need to
control algae in landbased live rock aquaculture tanks.
