Thanks everyone for the good reception.
VEry nice! Do you have a tank? Pictures? Future plans? We love pics!!
Hi! budy. In this moment i don't have any aquariums because I haven't time to keep it, but I hope star a new one the next year if I can stabilize myself a little. "My aquariums" today are test aquarium to develop diferent products for EasyReefs, I can't say you more, sorry. Too, I manage corals with the Reefer proyect (
https://reefersproject.org/). It mainten me very busy too and i hope travel again next year to Mentawai to continue with the restauration proyect. I send some pictures for this:
I haven't a lot of pictures for my old tanks because the phones hadn't camara or a good camara in 2011 and years before. I don't know where is these pictures, jajajaja. However, for example, here a little experiment that I ran 2 years ago with a very pico reef:
It's a 2l sea cold water aquarium for non photosintetics filtrator animals (mussels, briozoas, ascidians, sponges and shells). The two pictures have 6 mounth of difference. I didn't use sump (only a 1l rDSB), skimer or mecanic filtration. 1 or 2 water changes per mounth and water movement by airlift inside the tank and 150 l/h pump between tank and rDSB. The idea of this aquarium was maintenance filtrator animals, caprelids and to get a very high densiti of microanimals has possible. The particles in the water colum and glass were copepods, ganmarids and rotifers that grew inside, I never used a cultive of this animals, they came asociated with mussels and briozoas and later invaded the aquarium.
It ran during one year until an electric cut pass the temperature since 18ºC to 27ºC and the aquarium failed. Here, in Sevilla, the temperature inside the houses can elevated to 36ºC or more during the summer, so people use a lot of condicioned air all the time. So some times the electric service colapse. Is very dificult and dangerous keep cold water aquariums in this conditions.
Sorry by the long post, I hope you enjoy with the pictures.
