10000L Coral reef at The Maritime Museum & Aquarium Sweden

[najer]

I love that, so natural looking.

Stunning, my mind is blown. Best of luck with the new building and all that goea along with it. Im sure you will have your hands full for the next few years. It will be sad to see these beautiful reefs torn down but I can't wait to see the new setup and I am sure it will be worth it. Please be sure to make a build thread for the new building amd reef tank when the time comes.

Short update(since I'm not at work, today I'm out sailing ;Smuggrin)

The warmest May month ever in Sweden. Been about 25-30 degrees now for almost 3 weeks. And this coming weekend temp might get to record high the news says.
Great if your out sailing, not so great when you try to run aquariums in an old museum
In one of the tropical systems(with mostly soft corals) the temperatures are up over 28 degrees during daytime. The other systems goes up to 27-27,5 degrees. Can't see any problems yet, but we're on alert keeping an eye on the temperatures.

To get some less heat we turn off a couple of hetal halide lamps these days over the 10000L tank and have put up some fans blowing across the surface. One thing that not great planning is that this reef tank is in the same room as our cold water system. So we get heat from this tank and the two chillers for the cold system, and at the same time trying to keep an aquariums system at 10 degrees..
It will be great with a new aquarium building (that's not from 1933)!!

I cannot imagine the evaporation rate.

Have a great sail!

To bad I don't live in sweden. I do HVACR. LOL. We're I live this time of year, it begins to get hot. Weather here is cool with some drizzle odd for us. Good for my chillers. Chillers not working so hard. Have fun. I get sea sick. Also we have flying fish here.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Check out my Coral Carousel. 360° live Corals turning. Maybe first. Drastic measures call for drastic action.
LOL. If I can't have linear wave action come to my corals, I'll have my Corals come to it. 5 minute video

You should be a bartender in your tank.LOL

We only use 96% ethanol But really like his tank! Never seen it IRL, but watched a couple of his talks and seen a lot of pictures. Great stuff. Wish we could get up to that level when we build the new tanks.

This is why I want to be in Sweden(west coast) during the summer

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Nice, I get on those boats, and I start to feed the fish. Not good.
Have fun. Man, wish I lived in Sweden. I had a friend who lived in Holland. He was from Mexico, wife from Holland. Very cool.
Gotta go back to my toys.LOL

Awesome!

 

[Sallstrom]

Awesome!

Thank you!
We bought the boat last year. Couldn't afford a sail around the world boat just yet, so we went for a nice looking one instead

Have you seen "When all else fails". Robert Redford.

Don't know. You don't mean "All is lost"? In that case I've seen it! Feels real. I liked it

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Yea, that's it.

 

[Sallstrom]

Morning routine - check!

And new(old) dosing pumps for the Dendronephtya/frag tank. Hope to get them to work with some help from @Lasse tomorrow.
