We upgraded to a 90 gal tank. Here’s a list of some of what we have (and their names): Gold Striped Maroon Clown (Benjamin) Red headed goby (Goober) Koran Angel (Express) Diamond Goby (Spot) Niger Trigger (Nigel) Huma Huma Trigger (Picasso) Royal Sea Urchin (Crown) Sand Sifter Starfish Carpet Anemone Xenia’s There are still a few crabs and snails left in the tank, but the triggers got to most of them. We put the two triggers in the tank together at the same time and they get along great, as you can see!! Even the Angel takes a liking to the Niger and follows him around. Most of the video is muted, but on some parts you will hear the two triggers teeth as they eat shrimp or silver sides. Yes the Angel eats anything and everything you feed the others, but he does have a healthy serving of algae too. Soon we will be upgrading this tank to a 125 or bigger for the angel and triggers as they grow. The tank is NOT dirty…the triggers are very messy eaters. When they are not eating the water is clear.

1 Gallon Pico Reef, 1/2 gallon sealed SPS reef tank, 19 gallon bog terrarium globe, 75 gallon planted tank with Co2 injection. Keeping ecosystems in odd containers changes the chemistry and dynamics interestingly and has a direct correlation to evaporation rates, nitrate binding or export, and temperature stabilization to name a few. For example, a fluted vase design allows for an inner-diameter resting lid, which changes the salinity and saltcreep maintenance drastically vs any other shape. It also provides an angled surface for detritus accumulation, which is easily wiped for maintenance and this is (nitrogen) export. A small square palmtop design, with an internal plant sub-division, becomes the first and still the only longterm sealed (non evaporating) coral reef aquarium, growing acroporid coral specimens into 3 inch tabular forums documented over a two year course. Shape matters in pico reef design, and pico reef design matters to marine biology as a whole because it influences coral morphology, allelopathy, and new observations for science unique to hyperconcentrated niche environments. thank you for stopping by! I invite everyone to discuss the biology or problems associated with any aquarium care, and feel free to link your own micro reefs if you keep them. Anyone who would like to research pico reef history can start at Reefs.Org and Reefcentral around 2002 and nano-reef.com These forums paved the way for the explosion in popularity and are 95% of the existing …

Short video of a small koi pond I built spring of ’09, appx. 1000-1200 gallons, pond tapers from 2′ to about 3.5′. This is about the smallest you can go for 4-8 Koi to thrive and grow. I spent alot of time last year trying to make a ‘garden pond’ into a koi pond. Filter system is appx. 100 gal., pump flow rate 650 gal. per hour with UV light. I plan to rebuild larger (1500-2000) next year as koi are growing fast and i’d like to add a couple more and be able to possibly keep them outside over winter. The pond was really cheep to build, Harbor Freight pumps, 30 mil pvc liner, DIY garbage can filters, etc. etc. I did buy a UV light once algae was growing on sides and pond had cycled. Best tip: If your going to go with Koi GO BIG, Bigger then what you may currently think, cause if you dont youll wish you had in a couple years. This is my third pond in three years! I wish I had gone 1200-1500 the first time. Please check out the 2010 rebuild and notice how much the koi had grown over the winter indoors: www.youtube.com
