yoshii Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 There should be a rule that your tank has to stay up and running the whole month it is TOTM. I'd love to have this tank running for 10 more years if I could! Moving sucks 1 Quote Link to comment

Weetabix7 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I know right! I'm glad I got it Thanks for the encouragement guys! Thanks! It's fun to have bright colors and keep the ~10/12k lighting I've got them from various places, but most recently I got macros from live-plants.com. They are my fav place for macros The Flame Algae was going everywhere, I think I'm going to prune it more next time Anyways, here's the new FTS! (click for better view) Oh, one more thing. Look at the purple gorg on the right! It looks awful It hasn't been recovering from the hermit's attack. A few more days and I'm going to take it out if it doesn't start improving In other news, this tank's 5th birthday is coming up! Come September this tank will be 5 years old Holy Cheese Nuggets, this is beautiful!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Subsea Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Yoshii, For certain your tank is a gorgeous interpretation of a macro/gorgonian lagoon. I noted that you were moving the tank to a dorm room. As a grower of utilitarian macro algae, I appreciate the beauty you have created with your tank, knowing it takes an abundance of TLC to achieve the clean natural look to your tank. Good fortune to you in your college career. If you approach everything in life with the passion you have shone with this tank, you will be a success in whatever you choose. 2 Quote Link to comment

Thank you for such kind words Subsea! I've transferred some of the macro from this tank into my dorm tank (thread here) I've had to move the tank back and forth for school breaks, but I won't have to move it again until June so I hope in that time I can really cultivate it and get a similar lush look as this 10g. School is going great, I'm majoring in Marine Biology and San Diego is the perfect place for me 1 Quote Link to comment
Subsea Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I almost went to that school. Instead, I choose the Texas Maritime Academy as a Marine Engineer. Is Carlsbad close to where you are? Carlsbad Aquafarms is a mariculture facility that grows: oysters, clams and muscles as well as ediable macro there. Red Ogo is Gracilaria Parvispora and is a delicacy to the Hawaiians. It is also called "Tang Heaven Red". IndoPacific SeaFarms in Hawaiia sells a pound of "Tang Heaven Red" for $70 delivered to your door. We are generous when it comes to the things we cherish.

UCSD is pretty close to Carlsbad, about 15-20min from La Jolla (with no traffic). Wow that's a cool major Oh cool I didn't even know of a facility like that was around here! I think a pound of gracilaria would make my tank overflow That's actually a bit of an issue I have with my smaller tank, if I order macro from somewhere like Gulf Coast Ecosystems, I literally won't have even space for it all 1 Quote Link to comment

I think a pound of gracilaria would make my tank overflow That's actually a bit of an issue I have with my smaller tank, if I order macro from somewhere like Gulf Coast Ecosystems, I literally won't have even space for it all http://www.carlsbadaquafarm.com/ I had come across this place ten years ago, when pursuing live food like amphipods, copepods and rotifer. The reason that I mentioned Red Ogo is I raised it for human consumption in the Austin area as a specialized produce. Because of poor marketing, I never made money with this hobby business. However, I was a hit at many ejammer parties with spicey ceviche. I would supply three dishes to mix as desired. The vegans had a bowl with a vegetable cheviche marinade heavy on the lime. Red Ogo has a very nice crisp texture that is enhanced when chilled, so I floated Ogo in chilled salt water. When Ogo is marinated with cheviche it becomes limp and loses its crispness. The third dish was a marinated protein, I like shrimp. Consider having a party with food grown thru aquaculture on the roof of your dorm. Consider feeding hungry people with aquacultured food grown in a green house. Enjoy your major, you will impact the world. 1 Quote Link to comment
