Welcome to the first episode of Matt's Reef. I started this because I am a reef-o-holic. Ever since I was a kid I have been amazed and intrigued at life under the surface of the ocean. The opportunity to capture even a little part of that world and do your best to raise it in your home was more than I could bear. I have had reef tanks in my life for the past 15 years or more, and have had my fair share of mistakes as well as learning experiences. From husbandry, salinity and chemical makeup, to equipment choices and lighting, I have learned a lot over the years. And all that knowledge has been put into my most recent tank venture, A 800 Liter reef community I had built from scratch for my office in Ningbo China. I am so happy with the way this tank came out, that I wanted to share it with other reefers. Most of us in the hobby have these amazing structures, but few people ever get to share in your experiences with it. Well not this tank! I want to go over all aspects of my experiences involving my tank. I also want to share some of the mistakes I have made so you do not have to go down the road I went down. I love making videos, so this whole thing goes together pretty well. So listen as I share my reef life with you. I want to thank Than from Tidal Gardens (https://www.youtube.com/user/tidalgardens) for inspiring me to make this series. His videos are always informative and beautiful. Check out http://www.tidalgardens.com for info about his business. Another reason I am making this video series is because come August, I am leaving my home in China bound for a 5-year cycle trip around the world. Because I am going to be away for so long, I wanted to preserve this amazing creation, so I can look back on it for years to come.
