Feature Aquarium: The Reef Aquarium of Tomi Wittfooth
This month's Feature Aquarium comes to us from Finland. Tomi's serendipitous discovery of reefkeeping has culminated in his latest 570 liter (150 US gallon) reef aquarium. While his tank is still relatively young, its vibrant beauty is undeniable.
Equipment Review: Getting the Most from Your T-5 Lights: A Look at Reflectors and More

Aquarium Fish: An Overview of Fang Blennies of the genus Meiacanthus
As ornamental fish, fang blennies of the genus Meiacanthus have it all--sturdiness with elegant good looks, individual character with great adaptability, peacefulness with the ability to stand up to aggressors. There is a wide variety of hue and pattern within the genus. The distinctive coloration, accentuated by their sleek body shape, makes for an exceptionally attractive animal.
Podcast: Mike Paletta's 300-Gallon Mixed Reef Tank Tour - Part II
Join us again this month for another great American Reef video podcast about Mike Paletta's 300-gallon mixed reef aquarium.
Featured Reefs: Red Sea Reefs
For me the Red Sea offers an escape from the workaday world, but also a source of inspiration. Indeed my current tank was partly inspired by a small bommie I came across. Above all though, I see diving and reef keeping as sympathetic towards each other, one informs and reinforces the passion for another.
