Jamie shares his transition from freshwater into saltwater, how he approached building his first reef tank, and the lessons learned along the way. We talk about coral placement, flow, lighting decisions, aquascaping with growth in mind, and how experience changes the way you think about equipment and livestock.

The conversation also covers nutrient management, dosing and testing routines, lighting schedules, fish selection, and how reefing in a city apartment shapes the way systems are designed and maintained.

This episode is a full system breakdown paired with honest insight into what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how Jamie continues to refine his approach as the tank matures.
