Hello everyone.
I've been on the forum for some time, I had an aquarium that I unfortunately had to liquidate.
I am not the type of person who describes nicely, so I decided to describe the adventures a bit.
About 2 years ago I put on my ankle, with which I had a lot of unfortunate events, of course not the fault of the processes that take place in the aquarium.
Date of establishment of the ankle 05.2021
Aquarium with a filter panel 40×45×45
Filtering:
Mechanical - converted Tropic Creation roller mat
Biological - 3kg live biofil, 3kg maxspect balls
Aqua medic linden cube skimmer converted
Pumps:
Circulation - Aqua medic dc runner 1.3
Circulation - Aqua medic smartdrift 3.1
Refill - Aqua medic Refill system easy
Dosing pump - Aqua medic reefdoser evo 5
Lamp:
Red Sea Reefed 50
Rock glued to the back compartment of the filtration panel about 2-3kg
Sand about 2-3 kg
Cast as of March 28, 2022
3 crabs
3 Thor prawns
Gobidon 5 more planned
Lemon cake
Escenius stigmatura
Green tangerine
mandarin dragon
Lots of little life and snails
Some corals, tubulars, sponge, tubastrea, schelis, blue gorgonian and apitasia
I mixed the rock with sand in a bucket for about 2-3 months, adding bacteria.
I glued the rock to the glass, covered the bottom with sand and it turned like that, about a month dry maturation went without any problems, I introduced some life and this is what it looked like after 5 months.
Unfortunately, on October 10, 2021, I had to move and transport the aquarium dry to another apartment, I drained the water, covered the aquarium with stretch, bad luck that I had no one to help me put the aquarium in the car, so I drove the aquarium on a cart through the city for about 1 kilometer.
We managed to get everything together, it wasn't without maturing.
After a month, St. Andrew's party with a housewarming party and bad luck, too much white liquor, messed me up like a rag on an aquarium.
I broke down a bit, but managed to save the animals.
It stood empty with broken glass until March 3, 2022.
I had no inspiration and no idea how to handle it, my heart hurt that it was so empty, so on 06.05.2022 I ordered the glass and decided to paste it myself, I didn't want to drag the aquarium to Szczecin, after a month I managed to get the glass, I glued it in, covered the bottom with sand I threw the rock on the shelf, flooded it and it was spinning without anything until about 01/11/2022
In December I had some free time so I glued the rock and started buying beads, it wasn't going very fast, but today I made some money.
I built a cupboard
It doesn't match the furniture a bit, but when it gets warm I'll want to paint it
A couple of current photos
As of March 28, 2023
I started dosing kh as weekly Redsea salt changes are not enough and kh dropped to 7.
Every day I dose:
0.2ml Microbelift amino and vitamins
2ml Grotec nutri marin (only at night)
4ml Phyto Easyboster 25
Currently, I have a small problem with pink and goldennugets goniopores, I've had them for about 1.5 months and they don't open, i.e.:
I started messing around with the light, reduced the blue 66% white to 6%, to my surprise the polyps went up by about 3mm
A bit of a strange phenomenon because the other chases are pumping nicely
Twice a week, I feed the corals with a pipette
Goniopower, Nyos instant plankton
Once every two weeks I add Prodibio BIO CLEAN Salt bacteria, I started using them because microbelift stinks did not help in reducing Po4
Tomorrow I will update the parameters that I have in the aquarium, greetings.
I'm sorry that it's so chaotic, I come from Poland and I don't know English, I have to translate myself and the translator doesn't help
