I have to say jomama, Blackwoods looks a somewhat inhospitable & harsh environment.
No wonder you called your experiment .....

Funny, that's why it's project X. I will X it out if it fails, out here.:D

But, I have chiller, and using fridge for food and extra chiller for aquarium. Keeping it heated. Working on that. Stay tune :)

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Ok, I have a piece of land, kinda in boonies, there's a well, I set there a 30' storage container,
And 120v. 10 amp max for usage.This is where I will continue trying to raise dendronephthya corals. Will add pictures very soon. Tomorrow going to try installing small pump run it 20' to storage container. I'm hoping to use well water as geothermal heat for DT, and in summer for cooling. As per @Subsea recommendations.
Keeping it simple, no heat pumps, only water pumps and heat changers

Pictures tomorrow

Stay tune

okay, not much updates, but here's the newest update, I picked up ocean water from a company in LA and now we're filling the display tank. Making progress.
Stay tune.:)

Not sure how I missed this, but it is awesome. I often wonder how much great content gets missed by the sheer volume of threads.

 

[Scrubber_steve]

With getting sick and staying busy, here's the updates the corals are doing fine have some small Sun Coral polyps scattered in display tank, I think I have 250 gallons of real ocean water down to 50 gallons. Soon will refill more ocean water.

Out of all the dendronephthya colonies 1 is still thriving even after I was sick for over 4 weeks and a half.
