Aquarium Knowledge continued: Corals

     As I Continue to read the Marine Aquarium Reference, I have learned many details on broad subjects such as, corals, fish, invertebrates, and marine systems. Moving on from the octopus obsession, I now am wanting a larger tank with corals, and more fish. This book has really helped me in getting great ideas to improve my tank.  At first, I had no idea what a sump refugium or scroll coral was, or even that sand is considered live. 

     On Friday of this week, I am going to set up a coral reef tank with coral friendly fish. The books broad subjects on corals helped me a lot in deciding what colors I want for the tank to make it as bright and easy to manage as possible. This book also talks about systems. A system is a word for ecosystem that includes  live sand, live rock, corals, and fish.  
They all work together to sustain life and live together in harmony when you set it up correctly. 
Thank goodness I have this book to guide me, or my tank would be looking like hurricane Isaac!
