Hello

 

Recently started a 133 litre British Marine Tank. I am based in Devon.

There was an opportunity to save a Juwel Rio 400 from a skip, always wanted a 450 litre tank and now that has become a reality.

It was hard work collection all the water and transporting it home.

 

My current setup is;

450 litre Juwel Rio

DSUNY Led lighting with controller. Simulates sun rise/set, cloud and phases of the moon.

Hydor Professional 600 external canister filter

2 x Jebao wavemakers

Internal filter with UV LED

Waiting for my protein skimmer

 

Dead rock and coral sand

Local rock with algae and seaweed

4 Snakelocks anemones, one of which recently divided into 2, so now have 5.

2 Strawberry Anemones

Fans

Oyster

Number of shrimp

Hermit crabs

A small starfish

Corkwing Wrasse

8 Mullet

Several Blennies (Shannies)

1 Rock Goby

 

Cycled tank with Dr Tims one and only, imported from USA.

Also use marine bacteria balls

 

I feed a mixture of raw prawns, especially for the hermits and anemones, nori seaweed, small amount of flake, dried krill and I have recently started breeding Brine Shrimp and copepods,as they were very popular along with Mysis and Copepods.

 

My tank temperature maintains between 20 - 25 celcius during the summer.

Welcome! Looking good, love the Nems! Are the ones in the 2nd pic the Snake? They're pretty nice.

 

Yes they are snakes, I was hoping to find one with an anemone shrimp, still looking.

Love it! I kept a nano for quite a while with all British species here in the states. I will be immensely jealous if you find those shrimp :)

 

Keep an eye out for the Cornish lumpsuckers (clingfish) they are amazing in captivity, when they aren't hiding ;)
