A rock made me tear apart my reef.

Sweet setup dude! ✅

[@Ryan_Maineaquaria]

Thank you! It’s a work in progress. Going through a bit of an ugly phase with some cyano but corals are still growing like crazy.

[@queencityreefs]

Very good looking end result 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻

[@Ryan_Maineaquaria]

Thanks! It’s definitely a work in progress.

The idea of a skin sensitivity to salt water is foreign to me since salt water is stored in the skin and it’s a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. Now you’ve got me really curious what kind of a reaction could be going on there. I’ll assume the beach isn’t your favorite vacation destination.

[@Ryan_Maineaquaria]

@@Danimalpm1 for me a lot of the issue is coral toxins in the water. The biggest issue I get is dry cracked fingers from exposure to the saltwater in my tanks. Occasionally I will get itchy rashes on my fingers or arms if I’m directly handling corals. Hammers, frogspawns, zoanthids and bubbles tips seem to be the worst for this in my case.

Are you not anxious for your rock to leach phosphates? Or will you counter it?😊

[@Ryan_Maineaquaria]

@@RedGalaxyFishbone my phosphate is constantly super low. .02-.03 so if it leaches any it won’t be a big deal. Also, all this rock was bleached, soaked and air dried as well to clean off any organics.

Where u located I’ve got a lot of corals. I’m in jersey. I don’t know if you trade or sell corals. Let me know. Nice job 👍

[@Ryan_Maineaquaria]

@@moereefer thanks! I’m in Maine but I travel to a lot of the north east coral shows. I was just at the NJ frag fest a couple weekends ago helping out with the Son & Sand/ Aussie Aquariums booths. I may have some frags at Frag Farmers Market in CT at the beginning of march and then again at reefapalooza NY. Otherwise all my corals go to a couple of our local fish stores to help support them and our local hobby.
