Inside a Stunning 1,000-Gallon Reef Tank Built Into a Home 🐠

Join Jessica and the rest of the CoralVue team as they visit a friend and fellow reef expert, George, to see his stunning 1,000-gallon reef system. George offers valuable insights for serious aquarists aiming to create a thriving ecosystem and seamless home integration. His 9x4-foot peninsula tank, built directly into his home's architecture, shows how proper planning during construction can prevent common reef-keeping issues like noise, humidity, and maintenance access. The most significant lesson comes from an unexpected source: COVID-related delays that forced a 2-3 year maturation period before full stocking. This "forced patience" led to exceptional biodiversity, stable water parameters, and greatly improved coral and fish survival compared to rushed setups.
