A purely Chinese trifle. No offense and no personal attacks.
Brent8919
Probably the white stuff in the foam is some kind of ceramic... (you can't understand the Chinese, but the products need to be modified). Can we throw this thing away and put in some charcoal? The filters are just super efficient.
Let's see how the maturation process goes...
Overall, it's awesome. We can display it in pet stores - and it's not expensive, looks nice, more and more people will start keeping marine aquariums (right now, my freshwater tanks don't excite me at all, I'm trying to sell everything and move the aquarium to the basement, or maybe I'll convert it to marine - but that's all in the future).
Angel2396
...or maybe ("white balls") could be: - a mysterious zeolite... Selectively "working" on nitrates?... or phosphates? ...yeah! The sea is calling...
Kristin
It has been 11 days, we cleaned the front glass for the first time, and washed the cup of the skimmer - it was already full. In general, it looks like a picture and there is accidentally a zebrasoma living in it. After watching LED lanterns, which seem to shine brightly, we decided to add some light for ourselves. In Odessa, at 7 km, we bought 4 table lamps with 16 LEDs each for 16.00, and a power supply for 13.00. In total, it came to 77.00. Work, as always, is valued here and is not counted, and it turned out to be such a thing - it seems to shine, but it doesn't really shine, so it's not worth doing it this way...
Anthony7814
How is your "Nemo" doing? Have the water plants grown? Is the glass heavily fouling? How are the parameters?
Rebecca1419
Nemo is clean and beautiful, nothing is overgrown, apparently the rocks have been held for a while, tests were not done, but 20% of the water was changed. There is a zebrasoma living in it - "Nemo" with a zebrasoma. Probably cooking is a good thing - RAIN's reef.
Tina
Did you want to use it as a "night light" or as a work light? As a work light - it's not impressive - first of all, the beam is quite narrow - standard LEDs provide 35-60 degrees. Moreover, you can't get more than 5 candelas from a standard "super bright" diode. There are more powerful ones, but they have different dimensions and require cooling. In general, based on my estimates, this design gives 360-450 candelas... which is quite weak.
Gabrielle5053
As a worker, the flashlight visually shone like a spotlight of perestroika, but in reality, it was just a tiny beam in a dark realm.
Rodney3101
What is this?
Brandon4517
This is when J.K. (live rocks) are kept in the dark for several months before being placed in the aquarium, with massive water changes.
Anthony7814
What is the point? That water plants and all living things on the rocks die without light, while bacteria remain?
Jonathon8514
You wanted to make actinic lights with LEDs, right? So you should have used blue ones - that would have been better. The white ones are not very effective, the spectrum is lacking, and the light output in such fixtures is low - the Chinese are cutting costs.
Alexander
The point is that after cooking, the rocks don't collect dust, and detritus and nasty algae don't come out of them. In general, another version of the setup - DSB, without DSB, BB... We wanted actinic, but then a fixture just showed up - 16 LEDs with a reflector, and we have 1 blue 2.00.
Shane
I can pour a handful of blue diodes, leftover from modding ;-)
Anna9752
Well, if we gather the price for the 80W driver, we can send it all together and make a night light, like a moon.
Julie4738
So does that mean that any blue light bulb qualifies as "actinics"?
Stephanie9175
And the video "Nemo" with the zebra is 8 MB here.
Richard
I was in Egypt in mid-September. The Egyptians "gifted" a hedgehog and two cone snails. They also gave about 8 tridactyls, but they didn't make it.
Nicole263
How is the aquarium doing now? Condition? Presence of algae, etc.
Melanie
On the night of October 11, I received these lovely things - a carpet anemone and 2 shrimp.
Kristen2246
I'll get there soon.
Brent8919
I pruned the synularia and grew 2 branches on separate rocks, placed 1 branch in "Nemo" - it adapted well and has already grown. While I was traveling abroad in September, I didn't change the water in the 300-liter tank for almost a month. At first, the galaxea started to decline and began to die, so I transplanted it to Nemo, but that didn't help much, though it's still alive for now.
Now the aquarium looks like this -
Caroline1599
Behind the aquarium, a girl-seller is watching. She cleans the glass once every three days, feeds the shrimp with bloodworms once a day, and adds 0.5 liters of distilled water. She feeds the mat twice a week. In October, there were red algae, which can be seen in the photo with the hedgehog - they have already disappeared. Caulerpa and Gracilaria (red) are slowly growing. Some Bryopsis has appeared, but it doesn't interfere or irritate. I change 18 liters of water and siphon the substrate once a week. The little aquarium is just lovely. I'm waiting for the ocellaris. The tests are normal.
Elizabeth6302
Galaxea often dies in the aquarium, not due to rare water changes; changing the water once a month is normal.
Jonathan6173
She currently has 8 "houses" left alive, while there was a full stone. And just 2 days ago, a star devoured 2 houses, more on that later.
Laura9093
It's a pity for the galaxy.
James8887
The shipment arrived today:
Pterosynchiropus splendidus, Marinfish - 1
Sphaeramia neoptera, Pajama cardinalfish - 3
Pseudochromis paccagnellae, Royal dottyback - 1
April3499
In 300 liters, a cool little starfish was found, it was rarely seen, and it was decided to transplant it to Nemo - wow, a starfish -
The star quickly adapted and ate 3 polyps from the galaxea -
Now the little beast lives in the foam, there's no samphire, and throwing it away is not an option, the little beast is not to blame.
Johnny
and Galaxia is dying...
but how did she get into the pen?
Julie4738
They helped, in the tank there are a lot of compartments and the last one is for the heater, that's where I threw it, although the last time I saw it was in the compartment with UV. Galaxea has been dying for a long time, now there are only 5 polyps left.
Paul
I told you a long time ago that she wouldn't live long.
Anthony
She needs bright light, very good water quality, and a rich food base, which is very difficult to achieve in an aquarium.
Jennifer7578
She was eating well on moths, tubifex, and artemia; I fed the fish right above her, and she was sitting directly under the MH lamp. Most likely, while I was away, the conditions shifted a bit; I hadn't changed the water for a month, and the nitrate jumped to 25.
Jasmine
Something is not right with you; the nitrates are jumping, and there is not enough light for it since it lives in shallow water. Two 150-watt bulbs are very little for such corals. During the day, there is much more light in the sea than from the brightest lamps.
Hannah
strange???
my star ignores corals when something gets in her way - gracefully lifts her "leg" and carefully crawls on...
she doesn't hurt hedgehogs either, as claimed on
Sarah5423
Briopsis grows without interfering - almost like Javanese moss.
Here is such a handsome fellow, a bit of a fighter, constantly chasing pajamas, but he doesn't touch the mandarin.
Katie4842
Cardinal tetra, bought 3 pieces, one almost died, had to remove it -
The synularia is blooming and smelling -
I transplanted the mat into a 300-liter tank, it got so attached that a piece broke off, it looked sad -
but it revived and after a couple of weeks started to form a foot -
although today I noticed it has deteriorated and seems to be falling apart, what could be the reason?
And the beauty of the aquarium, the mandarin fish, a really cool fish. It came in thin, didn't eat for 2 days, now it's gobbling up bloodworms and picking something off the rocks, an amazing fish -
Colin1418
It's been 2.5 months. How is your Nemo now?
Michelle1662
Photo in the studio! I'm curious to know what the monthly expenses for "Nemo" are (average figure)???
Noah1632
Can you provide more details about this process?
Deborah2682
Pasha - here are more details
Gary6376
Damn, it's in the enemy's language...
Joseph8842
There are pictures there. It's simple - I cut a piece with a blade and attached it to the stone with the covering.
Jeremy3637
That's how it was. The Sinularia, already 4 branches just like the ones I bought - it's thriving...
Andrea9320
Where is the sinularia located? In the light, on the substrate, in the current, or not?
James5103
It's like that everywhere, there's no difference in growth. When I trim a fragment near the surface, it takes time to grow back - just to make it easier to reach. In Nemo, it's bushier; apparently, there's not enough light and all the polyps are open, while under the MH, there are about 10% of the polyps and they are small.
John3165
Three weeks without light, and the aquarium is lovely, the sand is white and everything is beautiful - there are no algae at all. Today, new residents arrived - 3 clownfish, 3 lysmata shrimp, and an ophiuroid.
Gabrielle5053
Wow... heh, should I change my orientation? Are there really marine cichlids in nature?
Veronica
Beautiful!!! The sinularia has grown! Post a photo of the brittle star - it's the very definition of a marine cichlid!
Tami
It didn't take long to be amazed; today, an anemone got sucked into the pump (which is behind the sun coral), and I had to break and cut the grid on the pump to get it out. While it's still alive, it's swimming in a separate tank in the big aquarium. The anemone came with air in its tentacles and couldn't settle to the bottom, so I pushed it under a rock, and it seemed to be secured, but it probably floated up at night. As for the sun corals, there are already 4 of them in a year, 1 of yours.
Stuart
I told you that they get sucked in. I also got sucked in, first one, then six months later the second. Either you need to put on a sponge, or modify the pump to draw water from a wider area.
Jennifer9100
Everyone said the pump is under the surface, and it works without a sponge. Maybe it will wake up, although it's unlikely, you don't have much...
James5103
Any pumps in the aquarium should be covered with a sponge; sooner or later, fish or animals will end up there. If there is an anemone, it is 100% certain that it will end up there.
Michelle1662
In the big one, there have been sponges for everyone for a long time. Here is a photo of the troublemaker and the torn grid...
Amanda
Today, the anemone got sucked in again - it's the third time. I decided not to cut the attachment but to stop the pump - the anemone came out by itself, almost intact.
Derek7322
And where are your little lips, teacher??? Mine didn't come out, half of the anemone was inside. Still alive, but it just doesn't want to cling, just spinning in the isolation tank from the current.
Joseph6461
Put a small stone for her to cling to! I don't put on lips as a matter of principle!
Matthew7977
Everything is alive, the aquarium is hassle-free. Cyanobacteria appeared slightly - the strombus ate it all (huge thanks to Dima for the strombus). The strombus is currently alone and as a transitional banner - 2 weeks in Nemo, 2 weeks in 300 liters. Water is changed every week, 10 liters, tests are normal. The front glass is cleaned every 3 days. Bryopsis has grown, but it doesn't interfere. Currently living: 2 ocellaris clownfish. Anemone (miraculously survived). Sea urchin. Strombus. 2 lysmata shrimp (1 has been carrying eggs for 3 weeks). Blood shrimp. Boxer shrimp. Sinularia. Mandarin fish.
Brent5588
Does the strombus eat bryopsis? The last one has been really bothering me, and there's simply nowhere to put the samphire.
Jacqueline5976
The ancestor of all cichlids is the marine Chromis.
Chelsea567
Bryopsis doesn't eat, it's already jungles with Bryopsis, almost like Javanese moss - cool.
Rodney3101
What should we do with it then - it's already like a Persian silk carpet? Or should we add light-dependent soft corals? What to do with it? Because scraping it off is pointless. There's nowhere to put an additional illuminated sample.
Anne4851
Most likely, you need herbivores, different ones. There are no bryopsis at all in 300 liters; Hepatus and Zebrasoma eat everything clean. Maybe you should plant Caulerpa; it should consume all the micronutrients, and bryopsis won't have enough food.
Randy
We introduced the zebrasoma flavescens - it ate all the caulerpa and botryocladia brought in, along with the clownfish, and switched to feeding on all the fish food, while the bryopsis remained as it was - blooming and fragrant. We are waiting for a delivery - maybe the velifera will arrive, but it is described as being somewhat more demanding in terms of water and conditions.
Ricky9405
You have an immature aquarium; the bryopsis will go away on its own in due time. You could buy a rabbit or a fox; they would eat it in a day, but that's not a solution as it will start growing again. The solution is to not introduce new animals (temporarily, for about 3 months), check the water treatment and water changes (phosphates?), and wait...
Spencer7805
What is meant in relation to a marine aquarium? Or is it "figurative"?
Sheila1322
Well, something like that.
Tracy
I have an anti-phosphate from JBL in my aquarium, and nothing is turning green. I just moved to a larger volume and removed the anti-phosphate because I'm making an algae filter in the sump. The rocks are starting to get covered with green film. And I'm feeding the Zebrasoma scopas with dry algae, which I got from a.
Guy
In Nemo, there is no anti-phosphate, phosphates are 0.25 - Briópsis blooms and smells. In the 300-liter tank, there is anti-phosphate, phosphates are 0.25, up to anti-phosphate 0.5 - there is no Briópsis. I think there won't be exact recipes for this; each aquarium requires a separate approach and an individual recipe.
P.S. Briópsis is not green algae; it is a hairy grass similar to Java moss, approximately. In Nemo, it grows up to 10 cm in height.
Andrea6761
What does briopsy interfere with?
Derek7322
There is a lot of it. I told the owner that there shouldn't be any at all. But whenever I come across a well-established aquarium, it is there, though in small quantities...
Kristen1161
Vitalik, are you confused? 30 dollars? The boxer costs 13.
Kristen2246
I'm not confused, my friend helped out for a reasonable price.
Joseph9057
Wow, that's so cool, I also want a marine aquarium, but it's expensive =(((
Cynthia
Expensive at the start, but the maintenance is cheap - 10 liters of water change every 2 weeks and feeding with frozen brine shrimp. But it's also expensive to start with planted aquariums.
Andrea
Of course, thank you, but I know very well that it won't be expensive later (unless the fish don't get a break every week =), but that doesn't happen to me). It's just that for now, 2 pieces for a 40-liter aquarium is too much for me (I'm a student, not working, and I have no money), so I'll just keep dreaming and looking at photos =(((( tough life!
Sandra7004
This is what the aquarium looks like now - Nemo's 40-liter marine aquarium.
Tiffany5069
SUPER!!! The best solution for a small jar!
Cleanliness of the back wall? Do you clean it? Or is it due to the parameters and lighting?
Lighting? What do you have now? How often do you change it?
Advice. (if possible): try colorful zoanthids and ricordeas. More of them, in terms of quantity. And make the light bluer. I think it will be even more interesting!
Jeffrey2277
I got the same pen. If it's not a secret, can you tell me how it starts? It works for a while, and then it sucks in air from the top and from the corrugated silencer with the regulator and stops. I’m actually trying to test it in fresh water. The regulator in the silencer doesn’t completely block the air, and it feels like a lot of air is being supplied to the impeller. Is that how it should be? Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Stuart
cute-I liked it
Mitchell7972
Guys, take a look at the date - 2009.
Eric5208
Off-topic The time for AP has come)))
Anne4851
As if it were yesterday...
Jeffery7866
Of the 17 who thanked in the post 84 during this time, 10 related to M.A. (marine aquarium) have disappeared without a trace, which is more than half... it makes one think...
