My coldwater marine tank (Norway)

Thanks! Nah, it's a "background poster" that was on the tank when I bought it. Thought it fit in pretty good, so I kept it.


Thanks a lot for the kind words! Really appreciate it!

I really like it. It somehow gives your tank a ton of depth

Amazing tank! Very unique, never seen anything like it.

I wish! I am very far from the ocean so I have to buy.

I see! that makes it more of a challenge for sure... Really cool that you're still doing it though!

Yeah, I think that's what's that poster is trying to do. Give an illusion of depth.

Amazing tank! Very unique, never seen anything like it.

Thanks for the kind input James! Much appreciated!

Love coldwater tanks! Just never had a thick enough tank or nice enough chiller. Quiet is something to be desired with a chiller.lol
Looks great

Thanks! I know what you mean about the chiller. It's big and noisy... I've gotten used to it though... I know some people build them into cabinets to hide it, and reduce noise, but I haven't got that far yet. My tank is just a regular thin glass tank though, and that works fine for me with these temperatures. That would depend a lot on where you live though, I'm sure...

A litte update from me here.. Posted another short little video on youtube of one of the more interesting, "non-fish" creatures that's been in my tank. The Stalked jellyfish. Sadly, it's no longer with me, as I'm pretty sure something ate it.. Think I know who the killer is too (Painted topshell), but I didn't catch it in the act, so I can't be sure... planning to get quite a few of these again at some point, now that I know more about them, as I find them incredibly cool! Maybe when I get another tank eventually..

Anyways, hope you enjoy the video. (Sorry about the "shaky cam" here btw.. Was before I started using a tripod...)



Btw, Here's a picture of the one I think killed my stalked jellyfish, the painted topshell... A cool snail, but a bit of a predator. It was literally chasing my anemones around in the tank..

Beautiful I want my tank to look like this but warmwater

 

[NoahLikesFish]

Wait there’s jellyfish that don’t need like a round sphere to live?

I want to do a tank like this so badly. Lots of diversity and cool inverts and fish

 

[piranhaman00]

What is the gar looking fish?

 

[NoahLikesFish]

Does anyone know if theres tropical versions of any of these things. I don’t think I can maintain coldwater yet but I eventually want a coldwater tank

 

[LegalReefer]

This is absolutely incredible! There are so many cool things in the ocean, finding awesome stuff in your backyard and biotoping is the coolest way to do aquariums imo. Too bad I’m not by the coast...

If I move to Florida this summer I’m literally going to make all my tanks Wild foraged biotopes

 

[kaylajoy]

Incredible! Is that a pycnogonid in the 4th to last picture?

Very cool tank!
