This is going to happen at some point I discussed it with R2R two days ago so how long is a piece of string lol
Hopefully this isn’t too long before we go private

wohoo!

So let’s talk filtering the vase I’m thinking sponge filter and that’s all it will need and the bubbles should give movement to the salt water and I am not going to use any heating.
As you can see the vase is slim and tall so I will have my work cut out . Follow along and see how it turns out.

Interesting vessel, would bubbles and water change be sufficient or is a filter needed. A cover to limit evaporation?
I did the jar once, when the coralline grew in all the nooks and crannies it was game over for me. Will wait to see how this turns out. I could see a mangrove growing out of the vase with an ecosystem in the roots. Any plants in UK that are salt water tolerant, or a specific algae in mind

Good question
There probably is but I’ve not come across them. Yep a mangrove would be a good idea and help nitrate. It funny I am using live oyster in some of my micro tubs and the water is very clear you can tell the difference between oyster tubs and none oyster. They are so good at filtering dirty water but on the other hand you have too feed them live plankton and really make sure they are feeding open and closing there shells because when they die it can pollute your tank. I will put up a video from y tube about how good they are

Also everyone morning
Have a good day

Set up another plankton also a baby brine shrimp hatch for my beadlet anemones

Found a sponge filter in a cupboard so that’s in place for filtering and movement . Also thinking of using small bio value shells for the bottom

This is just to make everyone think and act
We as reefers have exactions with loads of plugs . We all should have a smoke alarm near our power socket area . Because when you’re sleeping half your house could be in flames
We all enjoy the hobby but we should all have a smoke alarm next to our reefs. A smoke alarm will save your life and your family’s
Battery smoke alarm’s are cheap to buy and easy to install

Good tip on the smoker detector could also double as the dinner bell when I cook

I would be tempted to tryout a reverse under gravel filter because it'll be a bear to deal with the substrate in there. Can run filtration on the water before pumping it under. May look too bulky and air stones are way easier to maintain then a pump.

urchin to deal with coralline buildup?

 

[PeterErc]

Cooked up a feast for 10, and doggy bags for everyone.
Brisket, pulled pork, chili verde, chicken thigh/drumsticks, bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers, smoked kielbasa,pimento cheese, corn on cob, roasted asparagus,tomatoes mushrooms and red onion. Brisket was dissappointing as the flat was dry. However it still managed to makes its way into the fat part of my belly. That was Sunday.

Yep there’s not room I’ve gone down the nontoxic expanding foam more for a test how this goes
