Thank you for highlighting our display of “For your reef” with the new “JMB DSR Approved” lighting. there is actually a nice story behind this display! After we from For Your Reef could not actually be at the vivarium due to an administrative error, we made a Facebook post on November 8 that we would not be there. Our friend Joep from JMB Aqualight read this post and immediately called us. He wanted to present his new lighting and if we could do it in such a short time, we could just exhibit a show aquarium and advertising material in his stand. We then started working like crazy and collected and set up this entire tank in just 2 days. Unfortunately, the scratches on the outside were caused by the fact that I had to lift and slide the tank alone.
I was repacking my books into smaller boxes and came across my copy of Reef Notes. Part of me was tempted to get rid of it, but I couldn't... It's signed by Julian. When I was keeping marine aquaria, Julian was my hero. Glad to see he is still around.
Love fragbox and Julian sprung. I have that yellow polyp montipora, but never knew it grows like that as a colony. Did always think it looks different than my orange digitata. Thanks for the video
Back around 1991ish, Julian narrated a VHS tape about reef aquariums. I'd love to know it's name, if it's archived anywhere, and what the music was in the opening credits. I've literally been obsessing over this for years, haha! Thanks so much for any info. ☺
Same I always wanted one of those pre drilled Reef ready aquariums that were 90 gallon cubes and I believe it was Oceanic or Marine Land that made them.
Water chemistry changes over time. Just about any coral will look happy in clean water for a day or three. Sometimes they add the same water from the tanks they came from. Sometimes is just fresh mixed.
We at “For your reef” have set up the tank with water, stone and soil all from the same sales tank running on DSR, so the chemistry is already there. As a result, we don't actually have to do much to the water during the 3 days that this aquarium is at the vivarium
Julian’s the man. I met him 30 years ago when I first started reef keeping. He had hair down to his shoulders 😃👍🏻

Absolutely inspiring a true reefing master
Julian Sprung, wealth of knowledge who willingly shares, and strikes me as a genuinely nice person.

Always great to hear Julian. Thanks,

the montipora is actually a montipora hirsuta

What tank is that? I love the big cube tanks!
Same I always wanted one of those pre drilled Reef ready aquariums that were 90 gallon cubes and I believe it was Oceanic or Marine Land that made them.
the tank is an Eheim scubacube 270 and the dimensions are 65x65x65cm
Julian - grandfather of reefing
Cyrianapora? What is the correct name? Cant find it on the net.
What were the dimensions of that tank?
the dimensions are 65X65X65 cm. it is an “Eheim scubacube 270”
How do they set up a tank that fast for a show and the corals are happy doing great ? How do they get the water chemistry set up that fast ?
