I don't know what is up with chromis. He mentioned having trouble keeping chromis which are supposedly easy fish to keep. I used to work at an aquarium shop and we had great success keeping most fish including tangs and angelfish etc. We did however for whatever reason have trouble keeping chromis alive! I do not understand it at all. I even personally had trouble keeping chromis alive in my 90 gallon mixed reef when my tangs, clownfish, and sps/Lps thrived. Kind of annoys me

I know right? I can't figure it out -- but the two I have are still hardy and going strong!

How can I grow coralline algae in my tank a little faster than is actually doing
Thank you!

CUBAN REEFER - 7 years ago

fincasters everything is doing great I believe for the looks of it if you look at my videos you’ll see my calcium is between 450-475 and alkalinity is 8.5 Thank you!
I guess is more patience than time

CUBAN REEFER Hi Cuban Reefer. There are sooooo many variables. Calcium and all levels. Competition from corals. Lighting... just to name a few. How is the rest of your reef doing?

Anticlimactic, the rock work is as basic as it comes, very unimpressive

i thought the green chromis were easy to keep?

fincasters - 8 years ago

They are. It's strange -- because they are the ultimate beginner fish. On the other hand, I think they have a shorter lifespan. think of them like you would the baitfish in the ocean -- where they are near the bottom of the fish food chain. It's interesting how they are able to adapt of changes in water chemistry when a tank is cycling -- but later in life are a bit fragile.

no video of the filtration :(

Nice work!! How about a behind the scenes tour? I'm in Virginia Beach, might have to make a visit one of these days. :)

John Carlin once again a very educational , entertaining video. The Center in the Square Roanoke Reef tank is flourishing. The design and installation are supurb. But we must give credit to Carlin Aquariums for keeping the fish happy and healthy!

fincasters - 8 years ago

Thanks Joleen!

fincasters - 8 years ago

great video! I live in Lynchburg and I've seen the 8000 gallon reef, they are amazing!

MileHighReefers - 8 years ago

Awesome Video. I can't imagine building something like that and then not seeing it for two years. The life of a master tank builder. Those where some great tanks. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome.

Tin Goose - 8 years ago

Wow great video, it was great to learn how much care went into these setups like protein skimming the jellyfish tank to aquaculturing and transporting the live rock from Florida. Nice to see that all of original inhabitants are doing so well!

fincasters - 8 years ago

+Tin Goose thanks. It really is beautiful.

DebTim A CANADIAN Girl - 8 years ago
