After this forum kindly helped me rehab a puffer in the Diseases forum, I've been meaning to become a regular contributor. I'm new-ish to saltwater (two years or so) but have kept freshwater tanks for many years. I currently work in the (freshwater) aquaculture industry for a living as I finish grad school (one more year, yee).
Please enjoy some candid shots of my mostly current projects:
My Chaos Box. It's floating by on top offs and benign neglect these days but I'd like to change things up a bit soon.
This is the 10g holding tank for corals (mostly red twizzler zoa herpes) that my Toby decided were on the menu. It too needs some messing with. ***** in this pic (usually the alveopora is as big as my hand) due to a water change just performed. I don't really take a ton of pics of this one.
One is a pest tank with a small Eunice worm, the other is an open book.
I may move the pests to the bigger digs.
This tank is full of TBS aquacultured rock and some different macro cuttings. My intent is to rig a salt marsh style reservoir in the planter sitting across up there in the back that tank water is pumped up to and then return from, like a sump of sorts. I'd like to keep a variety of weird inverts and will be hooking up a dosing system for phyto and ferts.
My old blackwater...been upgraded to a 60 breeder with loads more emergent growth, but I need to take new pics.
Old pond.
(The mangroves are in a freshwater bucket at the moment).
And I also have a 40 gallon tall that is temporarily housing a small porcupine puffer.
My goals are to upgrade my pumps and lights on some tanks, learn how to test my water more reliably and not be so afraid of SPS!
I tend to like experimenting with things and enjoy building the ecosystem from the smallest components upward, which IMO is more fascinating with marine tanks. I'll likely only create a journal for the salt marsh tank and potentially the Chaos Box, but thank you for taking a look at my other lovelies.
