The New

Travis

The time for launching my next sea is approaching. The salting is planned for the upcoming Saturday. I will then post photos of the entire process: from the modification to the launch. For now, the initial data: 1. Aquarium. Juwel Rio-300. Modified for the sea. The bottom was drilled, an overflow shaft was glued in. The overflow is Durso, with an emergency drain. The cabinet - a frame of oak beams 40x60mm, topped with 25mm MDF, the sides are lined with 18mm particleboard. 2. Lighting. From a. 2MG x 150 W + 4x54W T5. 3. Sump. Manufactured by , company PE . By the way, he also modernized the aquarium. 140 liters. Compartments: for the skimmer, algae reactor, technical. Return, technical. Return pump - external Deltec hlp 5250. 4. Deltec PF 501 calcium reactor. With a CO2 system, left over from the planted tank, and an Aqua-Medic pH controller. Aqua Medic calcium stirrer - 1000. 5. Skimmer. AlexLoga. 6. Flow pumps: Vortech MP40Wes - 2pcs. + Sicce 4500 l/h. 7. Aragonite sand and salt - Seachem products8. L.R. (live rock) - 10kg so far, D.R.R. (dry reef rock) - 5kg. In a couple of weeks I'll buy about 15kg more L.R. (live rock). 9. Various Microbe-Lift chemicals for the launch. 10. Atoll A-506 reverse osmosis unit. A special huge THANK YOU to , PE , for the work done. A very responsible, careful

Cassandra

How much did such a device cost? You're lucky that you don't live in a private house. You have enough money for the sea. And here, every year there are new renovations and reconfigurations. Well done, keep it up!

Leonard

But you have plenty of space in a private house and a yard where you can keep a dog in normal conditions. Not to mention the sauna for 500 euros.

James

Well, with the start. ??? Isn't it 12000 l/h?

Joseph

pardon, I correct myself.

Christopher

Well, finally! Congratulations! And where did you put the fish? San San is pumping not 5 tons and not 12, but 11. Will there be auto-refill?

Nicole

Can you send a photo of the aquarium in the overflow section and the sump before filling it with water? Also, if possible, the dimensions of the sump. Thank you.

Denise

The fish was quickly filleted here on the forum. There is an auto-fill. I bought a Tunez for 3 sensors on eBay. I will post photos of the process over the weekend.

Michael

good luck to you

David

You don't need to do anything, just endure for a couple of days. It will settle in and work quietly. This happens not only with San-Sans but also with European manufacturers.

Pamela

One barrel hums, while the other rattles distinctly. The hum might fade over time. But what about the crackling? I checked the bushings, everything is in place, all tightly secured. What does it need? In 2-3 days, the noise could drive someone crazy.

Nicole

Change it. There's a lottery here, Arowana usually changes it without problems, they've dealt with this. I have one almost like that, it "noises" a bit louder than the Tunze Nano Stream.

Sara

Exchanging is not so simple. I bought a new one from a forum member, but a couple of months have passed since then. It seems that the return period has expired, and the seller didn't offer a return in this case. I didn't check it upon receipt. Next time I'll be smarter - I'll check it right away. I also bought a new one from a reputable manufacturer, with a warranty. Let's see how fast DHL delivers.

Guy

This is how murky we look right now: Well, here's one of the photos from the beginning of the process...

Alyssa

, Little muddy-s...... And here is the herbalist in the second photo, quite and very......

Maria

I initially thought about rinsing the sand, and even started doing it. But then I hesitated, fearing I might end up with a major pipe cleaning in the bathroom, and decided that it would settle on its own. Plus, there's also a sponge working on it.

Jessica

What kind of sand is that, and I think one washcloth is too little; I remember how I used to wash with three washcloths five times a day for about five days.

Denise

Aragonite dry Seachem. I will have to run around too. I forgot to mention. In the sump of the algae tank, "Deep Coral sand" coral sand is used, kindly provided for research by A. Beshlega. The sand fraction is 1-3mm.

Sheila

turned out to be right. San-San is fitted and works almost silently on both barrels. The unpredictable Chinese technology Sicce Voyager and Aquael were originally so silent. The VorTech-40 will arrive in about a week - I feel there will also be a struggle with it.

Sheila

This happens not only with the Chinese, but also frequently with more renowned European manufacturers.

Melissa

Do you feel or know?

Carrie

You won't wait. I will overcome.

Melanie

This is how we look today. Due to the fact that the sump is undergoing a slight modification, the overflow is currently not working. The light has not arrived yet, but it promised that I will soon receive its new model of the lamp. If everything goes according to plan, the system will be fully operational in the next couple of days and will be properly illuminated for the sea. The calcium will be managed by the system based on Deltec presented below.

Gregory

My advice to you is, while there are no animals, rearrange the stones in such a way that there are no stagnant areas, as there are quite a few of them right now. Also, leave at least a 5 cm passage at the bottom between the side and back glass and the stones, so that the strombus can move around freely. Good luck with the setup and happy swimming.

Crystal

There is space between the back wall and the stones. It is well-ventilated there. As for the side walls... the stones are not glued yet and are resting on the glass. I will glue them - I will move them aside. The flow is not fully organized yet - not all the pumps have arrived. Most of the equipment was purchased in Germany, and the Germans are a bit clumsy with shipping. The remaining two flow pumps will only arrive in a week. I completely reread your topic about 250 liters. I found quite a lot of useful information for myself.

Danielle

The sump is running. The Deltec is indeed a silent pump. You can only guess that it is working by the stream of water from the return. I will immediately answer the question about the skimmer tube lowered into the sump - it is closed off and nothing is flowing out of it.

Dennis

Off-topic. God forbid, that would be the last thing we need...

Brandy

Off-topic, I look at your sea and realize that you have postponed your wife's dream of a private house for a while.

Yvette

you could use a bag on the drainpipe...

Richard

There will be a bag on Monday.

Tammy

The miracle of hostile technology. Made in AlexLog.

Joshua

This is how we look with the new light fixture. For now, it's just MH 2x150W, 14000K and 20000K. I haven't bought the T5 lamps yet. There are also no stands (holders) for the fixture yet, but there will be one.

Maria

Impressive!

Timothy

To be honest, I don't quite understand why to install two lamps of different spectra in a fixture for two metal halide bulbs. It turns out one half is under one spectrum, the other under another; is there a hidden meaning in this? Wouldn't it be easier to just use two white metal halide bulbs and diversify the spectrum with T5s?

Shawn

I understand that 20000K is blue spectrum, and 14000K is white, did I express myself correctly? What brand is the lamp at 20000K and how much does it cost?

Shane

I will explain. From another marine light fixture, there are 2 old bulbs of the specified spectra that came to me with the fixture. At the time of launching the "fresh" marine setup, I installed them. In about a month, I will replace them with new Giesemann MEGA CHROME coral 150 Watt 14500 K bulbs, which were gifted to me by German friends for the occasion of launching the marine aquarium. After that, the spectrum will be diversified with 4 T5 bulbs, although I haven't chosen the manufacturer and seller yet - I'm open to advice from experienced individuals. The spectra will include 2 actinic and 2 marine blue bulbs. The manufacturer's logo is not visible. It seems to be something Chinese.

Kenneth

Пожалуйста, предоставьте текст, который вы хотите перевести.

Joseph

Is this made to my measurements or is it an abstract picture? Your phone seems to be out of service today...

Brian

For T5 lamps. Airif recommends: KORALLEN-ZUCHT Coral Light Fiji Purple 54 W - 1 piece "ATI" Blue Plus 54 - 2 pieces "ATI" Actinic 54 - 1 piece I would like to hear opinions on this set or recommendations.

Christopher

I haven't tried these lamps, so I have no opinion. I like the white ones from FAUNA MARIN - Aqua Science DUO, which I got from Yura in Kharkiv. Their actinics are also good, but I prefer JBL Solar in Blue, which I bought from A.

Jennifer

JBL makes good lamps. I used Solar in Blue for my aquarium with trophus. But the price is twice as much compared to ATI. Can I get the login details?

Eric

Aqua Science DUO 54 Watt lamp with a strong and intense blue/white/red spectrum costs 18.9 euros. I think the Actinic is around the same price. Is this a more acceptable price? Oh, I found it. Aqua Science Blue 22,000 K 54 Watt lamp with intense actinic blue light 18.9 euros.

Adrienne

made according to the acanthus of Yuvel...

Scott

Prices are close to ATI. The question is interesting.

Tara

I prefer ATIs by spectrum more.

Joseph

KORALLEN-ZUCHT Coral Light Fiji Purple 54 W is probably a pink lamp, similar to the Silvania Aquastar, definitely install one. And regarding the ATI, everything is correct, two blue and one purple, if the MH will be white.

Javier

I bought what was recommended on Airife: one KZ and three ATI. I'll install it on the weekend and show the light in the photo.

Zachary

The lamp stood up.

Darrell

Everything is great, but this stack of CDs...

Daniel

Offtopic The stack of CDs simulates a sunken radio station. That's the idea.

Ricky

Off-topic. So where are the remains of radio operator Kat?

Amy

Today I was tidying up in a small sea and making a small relocation to a larger one. While pulling a piece of fossilized coral out of the sand in an old aquarium, I discovered that I had presumably bred some strombus snails. The size of each of the three little ones I saw is slightly larger than a match head. They don't crawl on the rock; they polish the substrate.

Jessica

I highly doubt that these are strombus, otherwise you would be the first one this happened to. I will try to identify them and post later.

Nicole

I'm quite the connoisseur of mollusks. The shell is very similar, with 2 antennas, and it moves in jerks. I haven't seen the trunk, though. I made a few adjustments to the text.

Javier

I also have such mollusks, good cleaners, but they are not strombus, they might be some kind of nassarius.

Kristen

The first beast in the new aquarium.

Rodney

Great creature. The family's favorite fish, especially when it asks for food at the front window.

Eric

Offtopic This zobak really loves this filamentous algae...

Christine

My new sea has grown a decent layer of fluff on the walls; I specifically didn't clean the sides and the back - I was preparing the menu for the beast. The beast started evaluating the menu just an hour after the move. It seems satisfied.

Jacob

The thing is, when he finishes with her, which he does quickly, he might face a problem about what to give her next. Plant feed like thread plays a crucial role in his diet...

Jessica

Offtopic, this blenny used to nibble on the algae on the back wall, hardly touching the rocks. I cleaned the back (now it hardly grows back), and this one has completely switched to dry food (a mix of JBL Maris and spirulina), while the rocks continue to get covered in algae. By the way, it also occasionally dances in front (the aquarium is 2 meters away from me, so the blenny seems to have good eyesight) - as if to say it needs food, twice is not enough.

Wendy

In my old aquarium, the caulerpa of different species is growing like crazy; I throw out a full cup of green every two weeks as it almost covers the entire aquarium. I've already transplanted a few bushes of green and red into the new aquarium. Plus, I have several packs of pressed spirulina sticks. The aquarium will gradually get overgrown anyway... Overall, it's an interesting creature. It's always in the foreground. It feels like it's studying the room through the glass and reading from the computer monitor. It also makes funny faces.

Tiffany

I don't throw it away. I put it in the freezer for deep freezing, and then I give it to the surgeons. It doesn't stay in the fishery for long after that...

Erin

So I won't either. It just wasn't needed before; the clowns and the centropyge didn't eat it.

Jeanne

The aquarium is slowly developing. The Sicce Voyager 4 pump arrived - I replaced the humming Eheim with it. Now I just need to wait for 2 Vortech MP40wES (they promised to be in Kyiv before the New Year), and then I can seriously start creating the right currents. I bought an interesting rock with mushrooms and several SPS corals from forum members on Airife.

Johnny

A few fresh photos

James

You say "raccoon"... Let the raccoon wake up.

Nicholas

Not a raccoon, but a badger.

Diana

Oh, right, sorry.

Bridget

Finally, my 2 VorTech MP40W have arrived. I've already installed them and am experimenting with the currents and modes. Americans really know their stuff when it comes to marine equipment - the pumps are amazing!

James

Are they noisy?

Danielle

What about the "blue" mode? How is the noise wave?

Eric

I haven't tried it yet. It probably won't be quiet. But the wave doesn't suit me - the overflow is on the side, it will slosh.

Vanessa

Thanks to the aquarium, I received a gift for the little Christmas tree, or rather for the coral.

Patricia

Happy upcoming (holiday).

John

There is a problem! Only two will survive...

Emma

To put it mildly, incorrect information!

Javier

Starting today, my corals will no longer experience a calcium deficiency.

Theresa

Tell me about the device, what its production is, what pump it has, what it is filled with, how the launch went, is it already boiling?

Kimberly

Deltec PF-501 reactor. Deltec Aqua Crown Hy Carb Special media. The pump is complete, aquabi. I didn't install a pump for water supply from the sump - it draws water by itself. The startup was like that of all particularly knowledgeable users. The special knowledge consisted of the fact that I read the instructions only after the startup. And the first point says - rinse the media! Naturally, no one rinsed it - I ended up with quite a bit of cloudiness in the aquarium. The setup followed the instructions: 1 bubble of CO2 per second, 2-3 drops of solution per second into the sump. The pH controller is set to 6.85. It started "boiling" immediately, practically silent - you can't hear it at all from the cabinet.

James

No comments...

Ryan

Is there something wrong with the bubbles here? Maybe the other way around? Or does it depend on the KR...

Richard

I reread and double-checked - it is all written that way.

Melissa

Wow... I'm really curious now... I also noticed the high recommended pH in the controller - 6.85. Maybe someone knowledgeable can explain what's the deal?

Alyssa

Regarding pH, the manufacturer recommends 6.2-6.5 in the reactor. I just noticed that other aquarists mostly maintain a cutoff at 6.85. Link to the reactor manual: It's in the PDF.

Aaron

Wow, what a beauty, the reactor is just great... I'm thinking about the ME dispenser... and then this, in general, bravo!

Mark

I found a little shop in Germany that deducts 19% VAT when the purchase is made from outside the Eurozone. The price turns out to be quite good. And our customs officials easily let such packages through without bothering about our taxes. As for the reactor, there will also be a calcium mixer with calkwasser, which I will run through an auto top-off. I haven't found a container for the auto top-off yet—something compact for the bottom area that can hold at least 10 liters.

Russell

Can you provide the address of the store (website address)? You can send it in a private message)))

Sarah

Offtopic +1.

Katie

Пожалуйста, предоставьте текст для перевода.

Kristen

Clownish joy...

Anthony

Aktishka BOMB!

Melissa

Several fresh photos

Debra

Something needs to be done about the light...

Jeffrey

What about the light? The light seems to be correct. In the photo, the right MG lamp is turned off as it is not needed.

Joseph

What is that beautiful thing in photo 3 (red flowers) and photo 8 (long polyps)?

John

In my opinion, everything is good. I looked for something to criticize, but I didn't find anything. Keep it up!

Bridget

I agree. I just didn't consider where the anemone with the amphiprions is...

Joshua

I also didn't understand at first where the anemone is - it's in the second aquarium. !! Urgently take a photo of the aquarium with the anemone and the clownfish!!! And if possible, a photo of the sump and equipment.

Heather

The anemone with clowns in Resan (the family rebelled against its sale) is sitting. The light there has already turned off; I will take a photo tomorrow. For 3 - I don't remember, for 8 - gonipora. On the 2nd and 6th pages of the topic, there are photos of the sample. Besides the light, there are energy-saving bulbs and heteromorphs in the algae tank; nothing else has been added. When the auto top-off arrives, I will set up a calcium stirrer with kalkwasser. The biggest changes in the near future will concern Resan. Since I am not selling it, I will be upgrading it. I have already bought an MH light and a new skimmer, Bubble Magus BM NAC-QQ. I am waiting for delivery from Germany. Photo:

Diana

3-Acanthaster

Joseph

By the way, I searched on , and they write about this coral - Compatibility Acanthastrea corals are very aggressive; their nematocysts release toxins that can affect the tissues of other animals even at some distance from the coral. Therefore, in a reef aquarium, Acanthastrea need to be provided with a spacious individual area, taking into account the future growth of the coral.

Stacey

A separate area is provided and the distance is also set. This is not a jellyfish - the tentacles are not half a meter long. It can always be moved, it is not glued.

Lynn

Beautiful aquarium!

Rodney

Everything is still the same with the acanthus - it seems to be under MG, but not quite. Clarify - did you "play chess with her"? Did it take a long time to grow, or did it bloom right away in that spot? Is the current strong from below? Are you feeding it?

Jonathan

Acanthastrea is right under the light. I placed it in the evening, at T5. In the morning, it fully opened under the light. I've had it for about 10 days now, and it seems to be doing well. I don't feed it separately. It gets its nutrition from the powdered zooplankton that I add every two days after cleaning the front glass before turning off the lights, and every four days after turning off all the lights. The current in its spot is slight and unidirectional.

Cassandra

Beautiful coral, what can I say. Tell me, if it's not a secret, who did you buy it from?

Michelle

What secret? I got it on Airife. But I don't remember the price anymore.

Melissa

Today's photos of the anemone in the Resana-400:

Rodney

Words are unnecessary...))

Wendy

Here they are, my darlings. Let them bloom and smell for the joy of their owner... spit, spit...

Jessica

Recent acquisitions. The MH lamps have already turned off, I was photographing under actinic light. The goniopora stood still like a stone for a week after acquisition, it was shy. It started to open up about three days ago.

Guy

Well, it shines pink - BOMB!

Sharon

The color in the photo is real. She looks just like that in real life.

Christine

Well, the price probably matches... in life.

Amber

From the initially quoted price at the company, my hair stood on end, but after a little bargaining, the price was reduced by more than half and became reasonable.

Jenny

I started upgrading my Resun DMS-400. So far, just the lighting. The stock metal halide lamp has a noticeable yellow tint. I'm addressing the replacement issue. Considering the outrageous prices (three times the difference compared to Europe) for 70W metal halide lamps from Aquamedic, I had to reach out to my German friends again. Next up is the overflow, skimmer... basically everything is on the list.

Angel

Recent acquisitions:

Cassandra

Please, I ask you and everyone to write the names of the corals. Otherwise, it's "something beautiful, or I don't know, give me two."

Randall

Off-topic Photo 1 is just tearing apart....

Thomas

Could you please tell me how much you paid for the lamp? And where?

Aaron

I did. It's better to discuss the price with him. This is if you are talking about the large lamp.

Diana

I am talking about RESANA!

Catherine

, on eBay. $35 with 2 lamps included.

Melissa

Thank you)))))

Stephen

I received 5 very nice SPS corals today from Alchevsk. Once they settle a bit, I will post photos. Although they all look as if they were moved from one aquarium to another without leaving the apartment, as if there wasn't a 14-hour train journey. Everything was packed very professionally.

Mark

Life and development of the aquarium continue. A small problem has arisen - calcium levels have dropped significantly to 360. I see the cause in the delayed installation of the reactor and the kalkwasser stirrer. Also, the reactor's output was set too low. I am currently addressing the issue by adding calcium chloride from Aquarium Systems to the aquarium. I changed the lighting. Instead of the old MH BLV, I installed 2 CoralVue ReefLux 150 Watt 12000k bulbs. I like the current setup better. Here are some fresh photos:

Angela

LPS figures are awesome! Do you have anything else for sale?

Amy

Well, what can be stated? The process has begun... Success, once again, success... The main thing is not to lose calcium.

Laura

How do cauderns behave? Do they hide or are they in plain sight? Are they indifferent to small creatures?

Anthony

Always in sight, in the foreground. And there seems to be no smaller creatures than them. Except for the wrasse, but even that won't fit in the mouth.

Nicholas

I checked out Airif recently and ended up adding a couple of Trachyphyllias and a Clavularia to the aquarium.

Joyce

I will make a slight correction. In the first photo, it is Anthelia sp. (Anthelia Blue Short Tentacle), at least that is the name it was received under. Best regards,

Laura

Thank you! But the clavichord will still be available later. I ordered two types of it from your company.

Andrew

Fresh photos:

Adam

The variety is impressive.. When everything grows, it will be beautiful)))

Rita

After a long time in the mouth, the pteropogons released their fry to swim free tonight. More than a dozen. The tail of a dog serves as a background for the fry. The camera doesn't want to focus on the solitary fry without a background.

Nicole

Congratulations on the addition. Yes, the aquarium is truly impressive.

Rachel

Thank you. There are many shelters, maybe someone will survive.

Gregory

The parents of the fry gathered to the house. In the photo, the dad is in the role of the house.

Erica

I'm trying to make a mat of carpet anemones in a reef. I set up a small niche with live rocks, and above it, I attached a montipora as a canopy. There is no direct light in the niche, and the anemones are not moving. Now I just need to gather more colorful variations.

Phillip

try to transfer to the sump, there are few chances in the aquarium

Lee

So I put in the samp those I could catch. Probably about a dozen.

Emma

Well, then I will book them.

Kenneth

, agreed.

David

Fresh photos

Kellie

Have you been on a diet for a long time? Have you started eating? Is it constantly on?

Keith

As far as I know, there is no UV.

Bryan

Week. Eats like a hungry horse. Moreover, everything I give. UV Deltek 10W is constantly on.

Helen

Was he on wheels? Is he touching the umbrellas?

Laurie

From the wheels of Airif. I already took a well-fed one from them. The corals are not being touched for now. Although, I guess I could have tried taking from the wheels as well. I only took fish from the wheels: zebrasomas, clowns, helman, pseudochromis, various centropyge... - not a single one died in six months. But there were problems with the ones that were kept for a while, resulting in fatalities. However, from the last purchase, a rather expensive acropora completely perished within a day, and I did not file any complaints.

Wendy

Zankl is a cow, greedy, insatiable, and brazen. This cow really loves umbrellas.

Lisa

a beautiful aquarium. But there seem to be too many fish... Visually, it doesn't strain in the sense that the aquarium isn't large (naturally, relatively), but are the fish large or at least will they grow and become large?

Diana

Why do you need ultraviolet in Rife???

Frank

When they grow up, I'll sell them and buy smaller ones. But really, is it a lot: a helmon, 2 pterophyllums, a centropyge, a wrasse, a foxface, a dogface, 2 zebrasomas, and a zankl? 10 tails, and they are not large species. The fish just recently recovered. I'll keep the tank running for another month and then I'll turn it off.

Randy

Ultraviolet light for a couple of days once a month for prevention won't hurt.

Sydney

I didn't see any effect from it. I probably wasn't looking in the right direction. P.S. I was looking towards the ozonator, that's good. But only with a potential controller.

Breanna

Golden words, I fully support.

Javier

I read somewhere that an ozonator is a ticking time bomb for SPS. It can blow up at any moment.

Rodney

Here I raised the topic of the ozone generator. The question was more about the resin than about water sterilization.

Helen

Well, then you can read the forum members in this thread, their opinions. For example, "a": There is such a shaky line for him between benefit and harm. It grows without it, so let it grow.

Raven

A couple of new LPS figures:

Wendy

I asked! Please write the names of the corals!!! P.S. And where can I get such beautiful ones and how much do they cost? Especially in the first photo "the little red one."

Larry

I will write in the evening.

Alexandra

The coral in both photos is called Acanthastrea lordhowensis or Acanthastrea sp. It is caught in Aiyrif. Not a very pleasant event for me - I had to get rid of the anemone. It started to sting the LPS corals quite a bit, which are more valuable to me than the fish. I moved to a colleague's fish tank.

Tonya

I bought myself a new toy.

Michelle

write how it works

Christopher

does not work at all. It didn't fit. The sump needs to be adjusted for immersion depth, raising the level in the sump by 3-4 cm. The manufacturer's stated minimum of 18 cm is not suitable; it needs to be 22-24 cm. I returned it.

Elizabeth

Has the air not been blocked?

Alexandra

A small photo shoot:

Julie

It looks charming! You can confidently give it a five.)))

Charles

You can even give a five for the movie.

James

Very beautiful, it would be nice to see a wide shot too)))

Veronica

general plans for the next session. The aquarium has already switched to evening lighting mode, so normal photos won't turn out.

Natasha

pink goniofora.........looks super, may God grant it a long life!

Steven

The selection of fish is beautiful and pleasing.

Larry

aquarium SUPPPERRR

Bonnie

The praise can probably be redirected more towards Anatoly - at one time, I really annoyed him with silly questions. His patience deserves a monument - I received professional answers to all my questions. Even now, if something goes wrong, I immediately message Anatoly. If we were to compile all our correspondence, we could create a book on starting out and the first steps in marine aquaristics. I also want to give a special thanks for the help with advice and hydrobiota to Lesha and Max Alchevsky.

Tracy

No thoughts yet about moving to a larger volume?

Cynthia

There are such thoughts. There are 2 ways to solve it: 1. Buy a bigger apartment 2. Marry off my daughter in a couple of years, send her to live with her husband, and turn her room into an aquarium. Ideally, combine both paths.

Chris

My mini-Nemo is still alive. It blooms and smells of the sea.

Anne

Aha, I observe that very entakmeia that once clouded my mind, and now is in comfort and health...

Joshua

By evening, it deflated. During the day, it swells to a third of the aquarium, its tentacles like sausages. I would love it if someone fed me with tiger shrimp like that...

Beth

The other day, I took apart one of the shrimp tanks... I sat down and looked at the empty aquarium. In general, it's no longer empty.

Phillip

About the aquarium: Capacity - gross 20 liters. Light - for now, I placed the lid from Resan-400 on top, later it will be LED. Equipment - Vortech MP10ES pump, hang-on filter (not installed yet). Live rock - about 3 kg, from the latest shipment, fresh. Salt - Tropic Marin Bio Active. I faced the problem of buying good aragonite sand in Kyiv - no one has it. But the world is not without kind people. The kindest was Max Alchevsky - he included a couple of liters of sand from his working aquarium in the package. I will be setting up a mushroom + LPS aquarium, similar to this one:

Wendy

And what about some ricordeas and umbrellas? Just so that all the colors are toxic.

James

Anything is possible. I haven't decided yet. But I really want the colors to be toxic and bright. But where can I find so many different recorders? It's easy for the Americans...

Timothy

There are indeed such things in the air.

Michelle

They used to be there. I haven't seen them in the latest shipments.

Jennifer

Today I found inspiration and decided to redesign Resan a bit and plant some zoanthids in the new nano tank. My collection of zoanthids was significantly diversified today by Zhenya grs. The photo doesn't show everything he brought me today. I will immediately answer possible questions about the anemone that disappeared from Resan: it got tired of it and moved to Vyshgorod.

Brandon

Thank you very much for your work! Once again, Anya and I are returning to the thought of the Sea... We just can't find the courage...

Kathleen

What hard work is this? It's a pleasure!

Kenneth

...wanted to say something in response, but I'll say this - You are right!

Caleb

Off-topic. I'll say one thing - you don't know how to take photos. In real life, everything is much more interesting and beautiful. Not related to the marine theme, but you completely ruined the fresh bonsai with this photo. You need either a tripod or something to fix it... P.S. Maybe the camera needs to be held higher above the light...?

Beth

A good lens is necessary. But spending 900-1000 dollars on it is hard to swallow. And I really need to figure out the camera settings someday. Also, I should get my hands to work properly.

Robert
