The Sea, my passion how long till I return to The Sea. My name is Blane Perun. I have been in love with diving and reef aquariums since the early 1990's. I created The Sea.Org and it's sibling sites to share my diving and reef keeping experiences with the world.

At The Sea you can read about allot of topics,one of my favorite the Caribbean Sea. Christopher Columbus gave the Caribbean Sea the name of the Antillas or Sea of the Antilles, and this is another name that the Caribbean Sea is known by today. It was Christopher Columbus that made the waters of the Caribbean Sea known, because before this the Caribbean Sea was truly unknown to Eurasia. Once the Caribbean Sea was found the Caribbean Sea quickly became a great way to travel from continent to continent as well as a way to trade with others.

One of the most helpful sections of The Sea is Aquarium DIY which actually spun off onto it's own site, you can find it by following the link. I have compiled over100 reef aquarium DIY plans from very advanced to perfect for beginners. The compilation covers calcium reactors, protein skimmers, meters, chillers, feeders, reef lighting and much more.

One of favorite topics, The Sea Angler Fish. The deep sea anglerfish reproduces in an interesting way that is very unusual. The difference in size of the deep sea fish male and female is substantial. The male is actually smaller than the female and is black and about the size of a little finger. When the male deep sea angler fish becomes mature it can no longer feed by itself because its digestive system stops working. At this point there are two options, die or find a female angler fish.

Live Coral Farm Project, one of the most rewarding hobby experiences of my adult life. I have put together a small site about building my live coral farm as a block greenhouse on a small piece of property. The Live Coral Propagation site covers everything from erecting the building, heating and cooling to picking wave making devices.

After spending a few years in the hobby and having established a good number of dives under my belt I wanted to create something unique with the diversity and zonation I saw when diving on coral reefs. 500 Gallon Reef Aquarium is a small site I built in dedication to a multi-zone reef system I built in early 2000. The system included an upper reef crest, mid reef ledge, lower reef, back reef and a refugium lagoon. It was a great learning experience and I had tremendous fun in the build and during the hours of reading and sipping espresso in front of the tanks. Check out Reef Aquarium for the full story.

After a few years of live coral propagation and importing a wide diversity ofspecimens, I decided to put together a small coral reef picture gallery. The gallery is a compilation of some of my best specimens, as well as a species identification guide. Also included are some interesting articles on scuba diving. Check out the collection of coral reef photos.
