Xmas tree corals/worms! Whoa!

[Cory]

So tonight I discovered Xmas tree corals/worms.... This had lead me down a rabbit hole that might make me setup a saltwater tank to play with these beauties.

uh-oh. So you're going to be getting your degree in chemistry now?
edit: They are pretty freaking awesome looking though, I'll give you that.

Yep, these guys got me started down the nano SW tank route too. You know you're gonna do it.

So does that mean the Co-op is gonna go SW too?

No saltwater at the shop. Must keep the focus there

 

[Gryphon]

You know what they say, once you go saltwater...

I just discovered the Jaubert method and its implicit simplicity. I have old undergravel filters for 15 gallon tanks I don't use but it looks like I was right in the decision to save them. I can use them as my plenum in a 20 gallon tank. Now the challange is to figure out where I can put a 20 gallon. It is so much simpler than the berlin method. If I ever do a large reef tank I will combine the Berlin overflow method wiith the Jaubert gravel/sand method in the refugium... but that is a pipe dream. The beuaty of this is one can alternate the lights. Main tank light on in the day and refugium light at night for stable oxegen levels.
