Cold Marine Tank update video
I got 5 snakelock type anenomys not sure if they are sub spieces as they were found together, I also put in a new common Blenny.
I bought a blue marine T8 bulb and a air pump and air stone (not on at the moment as it being used to hatch brine shrimp)

Re: Cold Marine Tank update video
That's awesome Sean, cool video. Would you ever be tempted to put in a predatory fish? A pet wrasse would be awesome!

Re: Cold Marine Tank update video
Thats really cool, there is a freediver in the UK that has created a marine pond and he has filled it with species he has angled. He has bass, bream and turbot in there among others.
Maybe your next project

Beautiful set up.... Well done!
Do the various critters survive long? What do you feed them on?
Must be a biatch emptying and filling twice a day though

Re: Cold Marine Tank update video
thats the idea, a little red gurnard would be nice but might eat some of the other stuff in there. I decided to do cold because i was always interested in marine fish keeping but never had the money for the warm stuff. 35 euro for a clown fish....Al and Jordan wrote:thats a class set up man. and if you ever get bored with the species you have you can go rockpooling at LW and re stock it with completely different stuff. nice one

the sticklebacks keep mysteriously disappearing the last 2 of 6 were gone thismorning without a trace. although the wrasse looks a bit fatter today i wouldnt like to pin it on him

i have been feeding very sparingly so as not to over load the filter with excess food and waste. every 48-72 hrs an ice cube of chopped up squid. I have also just hatched a batch of brine shrimp so i will be putting some of them in from time to time.
water changes twice a day

the snails are the right job, they clean all the glass although they missed parts in the video.

Re: Cold Marine Tank update video
Hi Sean.
I recently started up a freshwater tank. I've found a product called Organic aqua. This stuff looks after water quality. It's available for saltwater too. I think it might be worth your while to look into it. There is no need to worry about the nitrogen cycle. I only need to change 25% of the water once a month. I have also read a report on a fish keeping site from a guy using this stuff with a marine setup. He's very happy with the results over a number of months. He also only changes 25% of the water once a month.
I can give you more info on this if you are interested.
