Feeding this tank must be quite a chore.

Wow this look like natural reef

jedimaster8691 - 9 years ago

You can see this kind of tank in Oregon. Ive been thinking of adding a powerful chiller to a tank, and adding these types of corals and fish. They live and thrive at temps below 70 f.....

Non-Photosynthetic mean they dont care what lighting you have? only feeding?

Jared Roscoe - 9 years ago

+ika manashvili It means that light is not their main way to grow.You feed them stuff like shrimp and silversides ( small fish) for them to get their nutrients to grow.You can still have lights,it just wont benefit them.

thankyou i am currently setting up a 180 or up still not sure what size to do but its gonna be big for a nps, i have expierence with cultureing phyto but what about rotifers how much ml's would i be dosing every week

melevsreef - 12 years ago

A 40g drum isn't the same as a harbor. The results you'd get wouldn't be nearly what the people at the Aquarium of the Pacific. They feed this tank all day long, and have plenty of water on hand to change it out. Talk with them next time you visit to learn how they care for this tank.

chick magnet - 12 years ago

could i pump water into a 40 gallon drum with mangroves chaeto for a month until i do a water change so that the plankton from the beach help feed the corals,thats what they do ive been there they have a harbor right in back

VeryBadReputation - 12 years ago

Any info on how this aquarium is being fed? Even the most remote coral looks healthy. Do they target feed them or is the water just rich in nutrients?

DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

EX - 13 years ago

This tank must be fed alot especially with the dendro's, do you what kind of volume of water that cycles through it 24/7 to keep the nutrients at a non toxic level? This is the most impressive non photo tank I have ever had the good fortune to see, thx for posting it.

OH MY GOODNESS! I AM NOT WORTHY! THAT IS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE NON-PHOTOSYNTHETIC REEF TANK I HAVE EVER SEEN! WELL DONE! I'D GIVE YOU 2 THUMBS UP IF I COULD.

mosuhu - 13 years ago

This is simply amazing. I never thought you could have such a colourful reef tank which didn't rely on LIGHT! LOVE IT!

procharged70cutlass - 13 years ago

@FallensReef means they just dont use it to make food , they dont have zoanthelle

jjohnson4001 - 14 years ago

That's an amazing aquarium!!! No the animals in the tank wouldn't die if exposed to light most are found deep but where some light still reaches them.

DougJ - 14 years ago

Music?

Arelav - 14 years ago

Wooooooow!!Fantastica !!!!!!!! !it's my dream!

TyTy200 - 14 years ago

hmmm what if you put some of them in light .??? I am guessing they would die?

Sabine's reef tales - 14 years ago

wow this tank is gorgeous! The animals seems very healthy for most of the colonies. That would be very interesting if the Pacific Aquarium share its recipe to feed all those ungry and fragile mouths!
