Our newest addition to our saltwater department is our coral
system. It features eight 150 watt 10K HQI metall halide bulbs,
and eight 96 watt actinic compact fluorescent bulbs. The systems
also includes a "moonlight" phase. A relatively new concept the
lunar Blue-Moon-Glo LED (470nm) creates rhythmic glitter and shimmering
effects. It's special luminance promotes lunar spawning cycles in
corals and reef life.
This system is run by a 3600 gph Mag Drive pump and filtered by a
protein skimmer (Kent Nautilus TE) and a "refugium". A refugium
is a separate tank connected to the display tank. Our refugium
holds plants, live sand, and acts as a biological filter. Here
the process of nitrification takes place as well as some
denitrification. Refugiums are also great holding tanks for new
fish. Many European setups utilize the refugium rather than the
main tank for heaters, protein skimmers, touchier corals, live rock and
algae.

Visit often! We get weekly shipments (sometimes even twice a week) from all over the world.
