Cold Saltwater Aquarium DIY project


This is a short video of my DIY approx. 2300 liter cold saltwater aquarium.

The tank is fed continuously with water from the fjord and has been up and running since early September.

The glass was not as clean as one might wish when I shot this, but at least you get an impression of how it looks. I’m not too good a filmmaker, so the camera work is shoddy at best.

Sorry about that.

Made this primarily for the people who have followed my DIY project since March this year, but I figured others might also enjoy it.

Marine fauna is Norwegian. Water temperature ranges between 4 degrees in winter and 16-19 degrees in summer.

Video was shot in November 09.

Enjoy.

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.
