The weather definitely changes in October, with more rainfall and lots of leaves. If you have one, open the drain valve on your filter to purge excess water from the pond.

Heres the scene. You’ve been keeping marines and running a reef tank for six months now and everything is going well, now you want to add some SPS corals.

If you’ve never kept fish before then the best fish you can start with are danios. Danios are small, active freshwater fish known for their hardiness.

Set up a reef aquarium and your lfs will quickly steer you towards soft corals. “Softies” are generally easier to keep than hard corals, less expensive and more tolerant.
