You can't discriminate against hairy--okay, too far. I'm sure the diligent snail(s) will do their job! We have six months! 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Lypto Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Gahhh!! its too cool! I wonder what scuba diving inside a giant one would feel like... the pressure might be different? ugh, now I have to do math... So I think the pressure would be the same if the container did not have an opening at the bottom as the top is closed, but if the seal is ever broken, watch out for spills! 1 1 Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 O my, when I saw kat and mariaface were in the contest and they already had 3 pages on their thread, I knew I had to read it and catch up. All I can say is WOW! 1 2 Quote Link to comment
Boggers Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I wasn't sure how this snowglobe would look, but I have to say I am pretty stoked to see how this does. It is completely different from everyone so far. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

schgr.cube Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Can we get some more deets? I assume you’ll be draining it to add coral or do anything else? Is the rock held together if you do drain so you don’t lose your shape? What are you using to hold the inner globe up? 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Nobody panic! We have deets, it has been interesting. Thank you to everyone for their enthusiasm. This little setup already has many challenges but it will be quite interesting to see how we can handle husbandry with so many limitations. I'm already thinking that we need a bigger cloche/dome. Not for water volume, but more because if we want corals, the limitations of the light we are allowed would fry anything in this little setup. I guess it would have to be mounted pretty high up - currently the pico sits on my kitchen counter. 8 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 This is such a neat concept! I wonder where you might find a larger dome and base, have you been hunting online? Now that the powerhead is in there I have a better sense of the scale! 2 Quote Link to comment
Lypto Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 the Darwin sect has an interesting tank for jellyfish that seems kind of similar. Quote Link to comment

Yes I found a larger dome, the diameter is the same but it is taller. I'm going to have to try it out. Hey @Mariaface when are you coming over? 1 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 The Pico cleared up The offending hair is in there. We had a heater in there but unplugged it and took it out because temperature in the pico was 81-82. So we have it on standby to use as needed. 10 Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Very unique kat! I like it Dongs and all 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 For light, we are still talking about this - seems the PAR bulbs will be a total overkill for this less than 1 g setup. Quote Link to comment
