8,000 Gallon Reef Tank Fincaster Episode 136

Think You have a big reef tank? Come along for this tank tour of the 8,000 gallon reef at Center in the Square in Roanoke, Va. Aquarium designer Jeff Turner returns to see his creation several years after installation. Now the aquarium is a thriving reef, teeming with fish and corals that are jumping off the rocks -- which were driven from the Florida Keys to Virginia and placed in the tank still covered with life. Did that make a difference? You will have to see the growth to believe it.

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

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?

i thought the green chromis were easy to keep?

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.

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!

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.

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!
