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.

Betta fish care and tips Version 2


A new and improved version of my previous betta fish care and tips video.
Also something i didn’t mention is water changing, change about 10-25 percent of the water weekly, look at your fish on a daily basis to make sure they are swimming around ok, and are normal and healthy. Some good tank mates for either males or females would be: Corydoras catfish, dwarf corys being the best as they only get to 1.5-2 inches and are great for smaller tanks, the other varieties are good if you have a larger tank, guppies, males or females, be carefull though as some Male bettas will think male guppies are enemies and might attack them, always have a backup plan incase yur fish dont get along, Neon tetras, glowlight tetras, harlequin rasboras, plecos(if you have a large tank) and mabey platies and mollies(more so if you have a female betta). Also i would reccomed getting a kh, gh, ph, ammonia, nitrite and nirtate test kits to monitor the levels in your own home.
Please enjoy this video, and NOTE that you might have to read the writing quite fast, lol.

Betta fish care and tips Version 1

ATTENTION: i have made a version 2 of this video, please watch it, it is a little more detailed and informative. This video is all about how to care and how to NOT care about Bettas/Siamese Fighting Fish. I would like to thank MetalgyrlACD for her inspiration and her info. Something that i didn’t include is: Change the water with a cyphen every weeks about 1/4 of the water, feed them small abouts a few times a day that includes a good quality pellet food and frozen and freeze dried brine …

Tropical Fish Tank Suggestions

I have 3 Clown Loaches and 3 Neon Tetra in this 10 gallon tank.
Any suggestions on other fish i can put in there with them?
*******
I ended up getting four fancy guppies and i think the tank has pretty much reached its limits with that.
When i was buying them there were males and females in a separate tank and im quite sure most of the females they had there were males so i think i ended up getting 4 males, its confusing.
The “Females” are very fancy just like the males, i cannot see a gravid spot and they have large tails…any ideas?

One of my loaches looked kinda sick and he was just hiding in the log all day. It looked like he was floating around without meaning to so i put in some soft peas and he seems better, i hope…
