In the latest episode of "52 Weeks of Reefing: Second Edition," host Ryan Batcheller is once again joined by Joe Caparatta for part 2 of their conversation: Crafting the Ideal Reef Habitat: Aquascaping Secrets. This time, it's a deep dive into reef tank aquascaping. How can we better mimic nature? Is there a way we can make an aesthetically pleasing aquascape while meeting the biological needs of our livestock? Answers to all of those questions and more, right here. Regardless of your experience level in the reef keeping hobby, you'll be sure to walk away from this conversation with a few new thoughts and maybe a new perspective on how we aquascape our aquariums.
