The history: I had a Resun-400 aquarium. The aquarium was good in every way, but the rear compartment was poorly designed and served more for collecting debris than for filtration. A normal protein skimmer did not fit there (and those that did fit were quite noisy), and the space was wasted without any benefit. Or maybe I just didn't want to bother with the effort. And recently, I had a person who wanted to buy the Resun. I didn't resist for long and sold the aquarium. We agreed with the buyer that he would wait until I got a replacement. The replacement appeared yesterday. Taking advantage of an unexpected day off, I decided to restart. The result. The volume of the new aquarium is about 60 liters gross. Pumps: Hydor Coralia nano and Vortech MP10ESw. Protein skimmer Aqua Medic Blue 500. The lighting is currently an MH 70W, which will be replaced with LED. Water, live rock, and sand from the old Resun. I had to add fresh water, as the old one was not enough. I have not yet replanted the corals, I will watch the maturing process. Fish: 2 ocellaris clownfish and a mandarin dragonet. Now the slides: how it was and how

Crystal

A few words about the pen. It started to skip almost immediately. Very, very quiet.

Clever compartment under the foam! Water comes in from below, doesn't get clogged with sand?

Kyle

I already saw the comb from the side - didn't notice it right away.

Aaron

Water enters from the top and bottom, and exits to the display from the bottom - there is a special guide (a white plate) there.

For those who don't understand, could you provide a closer photo or at least a rough sketch in Paint? I've been trying to figure out the second photo, but I can't understand what's what, and what the second Vortex pump is (I can't find anything on Google). I understand it's on the right in the third photo. What are the parameters? Thanks for your response.

Brent7831

It's not possible to get any closer - the aquarium is set up, and you won't be able to see anything anyway. The drawing is in the workshop; if needed, I'll scan it in a few days. There's a lot of information about the pump on Google. You just need to write Vortech MP10wES. There is a manufacturer's website.

Ronald5720

Regarding the pump - I wrote in English "vortek and vortec." Can we get such a foam gun here?

Laura4892

You can get anything here. Whoever you contact will bring it on order. I bought mine in Germany.

Mike

You are probably making a bait for the ocellaris.

Stephanie9175

a reasonable idea In general, it is planned to have an actinia of the type Heteractis magnifica + a bright mushroom.

Joshua9847

The aquarium is slowly maturing. Yesterday, I made a trip to A. Tkach's company. I left with a sand anemone, several carpet anemones, a colony of zoanthids, and a Mini-70 filter for loose adsorbents from Bubble Magus, which works on the principle of a fluidized bed (this is for my Juwel). Today, I received a prototype of a new programmable LED light fixture from Yu. Khryshch - we will be testing it. So far, I like the light; we'll see what the corals say. I'm waiting for a delivery - there's still a small list of marine delights. A couple of photos (I can't figure out the white balance settings, so I apologize for the quality):

Very interesting aquarium, uncompromising in equipment, well done! As for the light, I didn't even think it would be used for such a volume; it's a bit too much for it. The aquarium is almost a cube, so there may be unlit areas. Observe the behavior of the corals and write, write, write. And also, is there a Chilean sponge in the photo, or am I mistaken?

Thomas1044

There are no unlit areas, just some poorly lit spots in the back of the aquarium. But this is not critical right now, as nothing is planted there (a Heteractis magnifica anemone will be added). Installing a second identical light will resolve all issues. Visually, the aquarium looks much brighter than in the photo, and the light has a very interesting spectrum. The umbrellas and the Ricordeas are fully open and fluorescing beautifully. The anemone seems to glow from within. There is a Chilean sea anemone there. I think it might even be yours.

Gary6376

I added some more livestock - I bought an anemone Heteractis magnifica. The clownfish are happy.

Alyssa6727

Did you plant it in place or did it find its way there by itself?

Antonio

Where I planted it yesterday, it sits today. It just moved its foot from one stone to another.

Christine864

Is this a sympodium in the last photo?

Helen

Bohnenka, what is this "sympodium"?

Jennifer5371

Coral name. Here on this page closer to the end: Beautiful thing.

John3335

I meant the photos of the purchases from Tkach.

James5032

I understood what you meant. I took these little flowers from another aquarium of mine. Originally, someone gave them to me a year ago in the form of a frag the size of a 10 kopeck coin. It has grown. I took different umbrellas and a carpet anemone from Tkach.

Heather6148

Yentakmaya sometimes surprises, although mine has been sitting in one place with its foot in the burrow for many years, bringing "children." The fact that it has been a bit worn out doesn't matter, 98% will survive... It's just that now it needs constant supervision, who knows what else might come to mind. Although I would test the water, maybe something is wrong?

Alyssa6727

I don't have an entacmaea, but a heteractis magnifica. Testing the water probably won't yield any good results - after such a massive replacement..., plus there are probably still some toxins in the water. My wife just called - the anemone has gone wandering again. I guess I need to try to find a balance between light and current.

Brandon4517

Sorry, I didn't get into the specifics, but magnifies are indeed "practiced." I did manage to tame this beast at one time, maybe you can call him, he will tell you some useful things in this regard.

Cynthia6578

Good advice. I just spoke with Alexey, I will experiment in the evening.

Jeanne

Off-topic. You need to pay a reward to your relatives for their help and vigilance. It's nice when loved ones care about what's happening in the aquarium.

Andrew7823

Can I at least find out the approximate cost of all the equipment and livestock? As for the sea, it's just a dream for now; I'm even afraid to start reading...

Joshua3019

This aquarium is not a budget version in terms of its contents. It is not correct to base your expectations on it. Regarding the livestock (approximately): clowns 2x100 Dogface puffer - 100 Mandarin dragonet - 100 Live rocks - 400 Heteractis magnifica - 450 Stichodactyla haddoni - 800 Stichodactyla tapetum - 2x160 Zoanthids mix - 160 Florida ricordeas - 160 Aragonite sand - ? Aquavitro salt - 30/kg ---------------------------------- Total approximately 2700-2800. From experience - when you have an extra 500-600 dollars, you can start considering setting up a nano tank of 30-50 liters.

Jesse3979

I can't do off-topic, but clowns 2x100 Dog - 100 Mandarin dragon - 100 Is there a time, and if so, where???

Loretta5483

As far as I remember, the prices of fish have not changed.

Sara4035

The actinia seems to have recovered. But it categorically does not want to sit on the rocks. No matter how much I tried to settle it yesterday, it wouldn't attach with its foot (maybe because the foot is slightly injured on the side?). It independently settled in a corner on the sand and opened up.

Tracy

Try to carefully slide the porous stone next to her foot. She might crawl over it...

Stefanie9771

Doesn't want to climb on the rock yet. Probably the butt hurts a bit after being pinched in the pump, it's more comfortable to sit on something soft. It opens up and inflates well.

James4757

Sitting in one place is already good. There is a possibility that it may soon attach itself to the glass.
