Wow that's not bad. With my lobster I had to do a 70% water change every other day, it was insane.

I'd be curious to get a micro reef for my office.

 

love aquariums! i was big into them a fewe years back. i had freash and saltwater setups. salt water required soo much attention and maintinence.

i had a hard time keeping it all balanced. maybe cause i loved having all the oddball fishes. also, starfish and coral in a tank do not mix.

 

cichlids for me but nice tank

 

thats is so bad ass. I wish i had the patience to maintain a tank. I had fresh water tank and i got sick of the fish dying on me and constantly washing the tank. how much did that setup set you back>?

 

awesome tanks

 

buy good stuff. i have a 110 gallon tank with a filter sized for twice that and do a 30% water change and vac the gravel every three weeks or so, clean filter maybe 4 times per year. i should do it all more often but my tank isn't crammed with fish.

 

Heres my little 10 gal I have set up in the living room. Its grown out and the layout has changed slightly since this picture, but I haven't taken recent ones.



And some of my little freshwater shrimp. Love these guys!

 

Nice tank. Here's mine.

30g before taking it down.


Moved to a 55g.


Can't find current pick but lost the SPS corals and now the 1 anemone I had became 20 over time. Pretty much now is a clownfish/anemone tank. Would like to go to a bigger tank (> 200g) someday.

 

neon tetras are soo nice. i had a school of like 20 once.

your 2nd pic with the shrip reminds me of bikini bottom of sponge bob square pants.

 

the recent heat wave in san diego freaking nuked my tank, it was 109 degrees on monday followed by another 90 degree day, I lost about 5 big heads off my hammer coral, 3 heads off my neon green/pink tip frogspawn, 4 acan heads, and a few stalks of pom pom xenias. Before this, its been solid running tank for almost 3 years now.
