1 Gallon Saltwater Aquarium and Globe Ecosystems


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.

I will be glad to discuss the biology associated with any micro reef tank care so just post in the comments section and feel free to link your own micro reefs if you keep them.

certain shapes for the captive reef help the tricky balances to self-stabilize in time, and that is why you see the amount of life you do along with the video proof that this is not a plumbed or cheated system in anyway, it’s simply a fishbowl or vase reef. These were the first sub-gallon pico reefs invented that you will find on the internet, none are older and as long-lived with web documentation. if you’d like to research pico reef history start at Reefs.Org and reefcentral around 2002 and nano-reef.com
These forums paved the way for the explosion in popularity you see now with micro aquaria and document the progress of this layman’s science

I thought it would be interesting for all of us to share pico reef design concepts on this video so post anything you know about them.

nice to meet you all and thank you for watching!

I stay active enough on this forum and in the marine and fish forums it won’t be too hard to find me so we can chat about marine biology and aquatic sciences. I will also help you build and stabilize these so hit me up in the comments if you start one.

72 gallon Bow Front Reef Aquarium

This is my saltwater reef tank its a 72 gallon bow front, I use a protein skimmer filtration system (is there any other? lol) and a calcium reactor which has been a pain to get working right, a 1200 gallons per hour water circulation pump, a 300 watt heater and a 1/5 hp Chiller to keep the water cool in the summer.

Lighting is 48″ CORALIFE Pro HQI Metal Halide/Compact Fluorescent with 4 LED Moonlights.

Currently I have 90 lbs of live rock, 1 Blue Hippo Tang (Dory), 1 Yellow Tang (Randy), 1 Kole Tang (Brownie), 2 False Percula Clown Fish (Marlin & Nemo), 1 Cleaner Wrasse (George) 1 Pacific cleaner shrimp (Delicious), 1 Blood Red Fire Shrimp (C0cktail Sauce), 1 Red Scooter Blenny (Dobby), 3 Goby Firefish (Larry, Curly & Moe) and two Pincushion Urchins.

My soft corals are a Green Bubble Coral, Green Closed Brain Coral, Frogspawn Coral, Purple Mushroom Coral, Orange Mushroom Polyp Corals aka Hairy Mushrooms, Colt Coral, an assortment of Polyp Corals and some Xenia Colony Corals,

Hard Corals are a couple of Capricornis corals and a Cats Paw coral.

So with 600 lbs of saltwater, 90 lbs of live rock and a stand which weighs around 100 lbs in all the entire tank weighs around 800 lbs.

I have to say that running a saltwater fish tank is a lot of work especially when youre doing a 10% to 20% water change every week but its so worth it once the eco system is running smoothly. It has taught me a lot about reef life and what it takes to keep them alive.
