Tropic Marin, known for their Pro-Reef Salt and All-For-Reef, is taking reef tank care to the next level with their new ICP Analysis. Unlike standard test kits, Tropic Marin’s ICP and ICP Plus go beyond measuring 37+ trace elements—they provide actionable recommendations with their innovative Block Analysis system. Instead of overwhelming hobbyists with raw data, this method groups elements that deplete together, simplifying dosing into just five block solutions (zinc, iodine, nickel, strontium, molybdenum). The result? Easy, customized corrections designed to keep your reef stable, balanced, and thriving.

The Panther Grouper, also called the Polka Dot Grouper or Humpback Grouper, is a stunning saltwater fish prized for its bold spotted pattern and unique body shape. Native to the Indo-Pacific, this species makes an eye-catching centerpiece for large marine aquariums. Its striking white to cream-colored body covered with irregular jet-black spots creates a dramatic contrast that appeals to both beginner hobbyists and experienced aquarists.

Jimmy has reached a huge milestone in his reef tank build—adding water! In this episode, he demonstrates how he set up his RODI system, ran the hose directly into the aquarium, and explains why RODI water is the best foundation for a saltwater tank. He mixes Red Sea Coral Pro salt right in the display using Voyager pumps, checks salinity with a Hanna Checker, and works through a few hose and sump challenges along the way. Jimmy also shares insights on auto top-off systems, leak prevention, and connecting devices like the Reef Mat through the ReefBeat app. With water flowing, his reef tank is one step closer to welcoming fish and corals!

At Reefapalooza CA, we checked out the new ATI Straton Flex LED – a powerful, efficient reef aquarium light that’s often mistaken for a simple strip light. Far from it! The Straton Flex uses the same LED configuration as the Straton Pro, delivering full-tank coverage for SPS, LPS, and soft corals up to 24" wide and 30" deep. With WiFi app control, customizable presets, reflector technology (no lenses to burn out), and sleek design options, it’s a cost-effective solution for 3-6 foot reef tanks. In this video, we break down performance, spread, pricing, and why this is a true primary lighting solution for serious reef keepers.

Aquariums are Fun!

My story is in April 2011, I wanted to buy an Ecotech Marine MP40 for my first saltwater aquarium. It was an Oceanic 42 hexagon that I still have today. The pump was like $400 and that was WAY over my budget. I thought my better half would have killed me if I spent that much on a pump. So I called up Ecotech an opened a wholesale account. Back then not very many people were selling MP40’s and there were a lot less restrictions. They were nice enough to give me a shot, so I bought 3 pumps. I put one on my tank and dropped the other 2 on eBay to make a quick buck. I had sold golf clubs and some other collectibles on eBay so I knew that pretty well. Little did I know what would happen next would change my life forever.

I went to work the next morning as normal. 9-5 in a 6’ by 6’ cubicle. I spent 15 years of my life in that cubicle in the end. It was a great job but I inside all day on my butt. That morning I got a popup from eBay, “Ship your Products Now” and I was like what? Then I remembered, the pumps. So I rushed home at lunch packed them up and shipped them out.

Later that day I was sitting in that cube thinking, man that was easy so I bought 6 more pumps from Ecotech. Long story short, they sold over a weekend and I was hooked. Not only was I selling stuff I loved, it was fun and I was making a few bucks. From there I found the domain name saltwateraquarium.com up for auction and I won the bid. Having a degree in computer science and being a computer gaming dork all my life, I found my new game and here we are.

9 years and millions in sales later I’m doing what I love, having fun and providing our customers a great service where they can get their aquarium supplies FAST, FREE and from a trusted source where they know if they have an problem we have their back.
