I spend my nights lost in the blues and my days tending a reef that never stops teaching me patience. The rest is beneath the surface.
One guilty pleasure I enjoy daily is hand feeding my anemone! I’m not sure why but I like when it sticks to my fingers 🤭 #Anemone #MarineLife #ReefTank #SaltwaterAquarium #FishTank

I’m quickly realizing getting beautiful photos of my aquarium is harder than I thought.. Anyone got any tips for capturing some beautiful photos?

Added a few new additions to the tank!! Picked up a fire shrimp such a beautiful creature, and yes I totally named it jacque!! I also picked up a leopard nassarius snail which is neat. Can’t wait to get a pair of clowns for the tank next!!

On December 17th I adopted my first ever fish!! 🐠 What an incredible experience it has been from acclimating to watching it settle into the tank!! Oh ya I almost forgot it’s a yellow watchman goby!!

Adopted this adorable octopus at a Christmas market over the weekend. What should I name the little guy? 🐙🎄 #Octopus #Cephalopods #MarineLife #Reef #Christmas

Black Friday was a blast! Upgraded to a bigger tank and picked up a small powerhead. I had a blast redoing my aquascape too! Today, I got crafty and made a custom acrylic lid to cut down on evaporation and help my heater work less hard.

After writing a biology lab exam and having to define the habitat, energy source, reproduction, adaptations, and draw / label the anatomy of a Pisaster from scratch. I found it immensely rewarding to observe this beautiful starfish at the reef store. I got so excited to see the tube feet in action!

Was at my local reef store to pick up some test kits and to admire the coral. But I also wanted to check if they still had a yellow watchman, watched this guy for an hour!Eventually it swam up to me placing a warm smile on my face!

I’m on board with that!! Enjoy some torch coral with me, I’ve been admiring it for an hours.

First time mixing saltwater and it was way more satisfying than expected almost as rewarding as siphoning the water into the tank! Here’s a peek at how the tank is looking now. #nanoreef #reeftank
