The seventh video in my 65 Gallon Saltwater Aquarium series showcases my latest purchases for the system. Also, I change my mind about live rock.
The sixth video in my 65 Gallon Saltwater Aquarium series focuses on what I’ve done (so far) regarding the system’s plumbing. I reach out to the community for help / tips / suggestions regarding this unfamiliar territory.
This is my 200l,55g marine aquarium that i just finished painting and gluing.It has been running for 4 days and finally cleared up. i’ve got about 10-20kg of live rock and one snowflake eel which was hiding in this video because he jumped out of the tank yesterday. i have a PVC overflow that a built and i was going to paint it but needed it set up quickly. Also a diy sump with plastic draws with holes in them. i am planning on having this as a fish only tank and i will post an update when i start to stock the tank
my saltwater aquarium setup
1 Gallon Pico Reef, 1/2 gallon sealed SPS reef tank, 19 gallon bog terrarium globe, 75 gallon planted tank with Co2 injection. Keeping ecosystems in odd containers changes the chemistry and dynamics interestingly and has a direct correlation to evaporation rates, nitrate binding or export, and temperature stabilization to name a few. For example, a fluted vase design allows for an inner-diameter resting lid, which changes the salinity and saltcreep maintenance drastically vs any other shape. It also provides an angled surface for detritus accumulation, which is easily wiped for maintenance and this is (nitrogen) export. A small square palmtop design, with an internal plant sub-division, becomes the first and still the only longterm sealed (non evaporating) coral reef aquarium, growing acroporid coral specimens into 3 inch tabular forums documented over a two year course. Shape matters in pico reef design, and pico reef design matters to marine biology as a whole because it influences coral morphology, allelopathy, and new observations for science unique to hyperconcentrated niche environments. thank you for stopping by! I invite everyone to discuss the biology or problems associated with any aquarium care, and feel free to link your own micro reefs if you keep them. Anyone who would like to research pico reef history can start at Reefs.Org and Reefcentral around 2002 and nano-reef.com These forums paved the way for the explosion in popularity and are 95% of the existing …
