So, I've made another couple of YouTube tank updates if anyone's interested..






I have no pictures from this ones, and I tried uploading a couple of video clips, but I just got error messages, so...

Thanks for the warm welcome! Seems like a great forum this!

Anyways, introducing my 180L (47 gallon) Juwel glass tank. Have no sump, so it looks a bit of a mess. It's been up and running for about 1,5 years now. My first ever saltwater tank, and my first tank at all for about 25 years... It's a coldwater tank exclusively filled with creatures from my own area (Hitra, Norway) that I've caught and picked myself. (I work as a crabfisherman, so I get a lot of interesting stuff in my traps during the season.) Here's a picture of the tank from a while ago.

I ran the thing without a chiller for a long time, and that worked fine enough for the most part, but got a TECO TK 500 chiller eventually that I'm very happy with. Now able to keep the temperature at 15-16C (59-61F), which is good enough.

Made a short video a while ago about the setup that you can see here:


Also made some videos of some of the inhabitants if you're interested in seeing that. They're posted below.

Think I'll keep it relatively short here.. If there's any questions, I'm happy to reply.

There's been a lot of stuff in (and out) of the tank since I first started it, so I'll finish up with a few (lot) of pictures.

super cool

Haven't updated for a while here, but I've made a bunch of videos on YouTube since the last update here..

Latest video is of my spawning long-legged spider crab. God some cool footage from that one!





I've also started a new crab/crustacean/invertebrate tank in my basement which I'm trying to run without a chiller. Hoping that will work, as the chiller is the big challenge with these tanks. If it works, I have a few other tanks planned that I will start in the basement. We'll see how it goes.

Here's a little video from that tank:





Anyways, hope you'll enjoy the videos!

Made another video from my main tank.

Focusing on some creatures with lots of personality in "Tabitha Crabston", the scorpion spider crab, my beautiful juvenile ballan wrasse and a little hermit (and more..).

Here's a few short clips from the video:

Full video here:





Also made a video showing some of the creatures I got in my crab traps one day. Cool decorator crabs, sea hares and a Norwegian topknot, among others.



Hope you'll enjoy the videos!
