albertthiel Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 SO cool!!!!!!! Yes amazing what some of them look like .. this photographer did a super job at getting those macro pictures. Deep Ocean Corals and other life forms could be inspiration for an "Alien" movie for sure, the way they look. I had a link to some real deep ocean corals and will have to try and find it again so I can post it here. Albert Quote Link to comment

albertthiel Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) A great Reef Aquarium Video Note: Cannot give an attribution as there seems to be an issue with the actual ownership, but the Video is Stunning ! Apparently the comments state that the attribution should be to someone else than the one who posted the Video. This does NOT take away from the quality of the Video however You should watch it.

atoll Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 OK tank cabinet and sump is now in place after a bit of a struggle and some help from a neighbour to lift the tank onto its stand. MY god is that heavy and why is it so difficult to get tanks level in 2 plains. Some of the pipework is installed as well. here is a pic of it in my chosen position very close to my River and Reef tank. Quote Link to comment

Yes looking at it Les I can understand that it is a "heavy" tank indeed ... good you had some help, and on leveling ... isn't that fun ... until you get frustrated because you can' t get it level on 2 planes as you say, that's when It gets frustrating but in the end I guess you figured it out. Well first step taken care of I guess ! ... Good luck with the other steps but since you have done this before I am sure you'll get it all taken care of without incidents ... And on the water ... did you get the large buckets ? preparing it yourself ? or are you buying already made up water ? I know you'll keep us posted so I look forward to the next post .... Oh and that IS a VERY nice tank for sure !!! Albert Edited October 12, 2012 by albertthiel Quote Link to comment

albertthiel Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Reef Snow by Brightwell Aquatics .... Competing with Marine Snow from Two Little Fishes Readers: I cannot find what I think is an objective review on Reef Snow by Brightwell Aquatics even though I have looked for it on many forums, including this one. Everything I find appears to be rather subjective and anecdotal posts of using it for a while but no real reviews that point out its benefits, if any. Does anyone who reads this use Reef Snow, and if so what has been your experience with it ? Thanks Albert Quote Link to comment

albertthiel Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Cute pics of the Goby. Yes he sure is cute and fun to watch as he swims around and then rests on just about anything he decides to rest on including all of the corals in my tank. He is a "piece of work" for sure. Here he is "hugging" the glass, so I call him Magnet .. :-) Albert P.S. Have you figured out yet what your issues with your tanks may have been ? Quote Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 P.S. Have you figured out yet what your issues with your tanks may have been ? Not yet. I am having a home repair on something next week that may possibly address the problem. I'll know better in a week or so. Quote Link to comment
