Swedish fish - behind the scenes rebuilding a public aquarium

[Sallstrom]

What the museum should look into, is setup a business which is seperate from museum, for liability reasons, to sell frags? As long as some aren't endangered species?

If we were a private owned museum, many things like buying and selling stuff would be so much easier. Now there's so much extra rules we have to follow that we've decided to not sell any animals. Too much work. At least for now

[Sallstrom]

Wow, a triple post. First time for me
I'm on a train and the internet isn't the best..

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Bummer

You'll figure it out

 

[blackizzz]

We're crazy people, many of us actually like the winter and the cold temperatures. And I used to play soccer outside year around, from -20 to 30 degrees

Lieeees Gothenburgers always do know how to tell a joke

No one can truly enjoy darkness 20h per day

I saw this and immediately got hungry! ;Drool

Then I realized that a Gothenburger would probably have lutefisk on it. ;Yuck

Haha definitely would ;Yuck Those westside guys have some weird things going on!

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Lutefisk , no thanks. Im not going to Sweden now.

Let's see more acro pics . I love the staghorns, any closer shots would be very cool. What a dream job.

Thanks! I'm not a very good photographer I'm afraid. And I'm on a train and just emptied my phone from most of the pics
So I just got some like this:

But I'll try to take some more next week when I'm back at work.
We got a lot of different staghorns. Brown, blue, at least three types of green, and one blue/purple. I wish to ID them someday, still waiting for my colleague to see if we got any results from our DNA tests.

Wow, it's so cool how the Monti looks small until you see it from the top. I am in love with all the staghorns, it looks like you guys cut a lot of stuff out and in the top left there is a big gap in between the green staghorns, what was there before?
Also A+ on the growth of the birdsnest, very uniform and tight branching, gotta love halides for that

Not sure exactly which gap you mean, there are many But yes, sometimes we take out parts of the colonies or try to cut the top part to get some room between the corals and the surface.
Some of the gaps are created by the corals on the "top floor " growing out towards the window, shadowing the nearest part underneath them. It's a large tank, but it's still not very wide. The reef is pretty steep so there's a lot of shadowing.
So if you look closely into this tank, there's a lot of old dead coral branches under the living ones. We have cultured a lot of live rock
It's hard to reach anything deeper than 80cm. And nowadays I don't think I can fit into the tank for diving either(due to the coral size, nothing else..). So most of the scaping the last two years have been done by the corals them self. At least in the bottom half

Halides are great. But we have pretty good results with LEDs in our "shark tank". Can show some pics from that later. Now off to MACE!

 

[Sallstrom]

MACE is nice! Lots of corals. To bad I can't bring any back home to the Aquarium. And already seen Julian Sprung Now it's time for his talk. Here are some pictures from the Marine part of the conference. The vivarium next door is even bigger.

I deliberately choose to post those things that are European

 

[Sallstrom]

Day two at MACE! I've had the opportunity to speak to a lot of nice people. Tom who is the originator of the marine part of this conference was one of them. Great guy and he's done a amazing job putting this together. Hopefully it'll be more conferences like this.

Now it's time to listen to Ehsan from Triton lab. He promised some exciting news when I talked to him earlier

Here's the fresh water / Vivarium hall.

And here is a nice pump

Thanks for sharing. Awsome

 

[ksed]

I think you need one of those pumps for your aquarium. Lol

 

[Graffiti Spot]

Woahhhh, that's a monster!

 

[reefwiser]

Great to see a European event I know everyone had a great time.

 

[Sallstrom]

We will probably need a couple of those in the new reef tank. And a couple in the kelp tank!

Woahhhh, that's a monster!

Yes, I think it's the biggest aquarium stream pump on the market right now. Great stuff
