Macro algae & micro stuff

[Deepsound]

Hi everyone

I started my first saltwater tank last year, on may.

I was fascinated by marine algaes and wanted to create a marine planted tank. At first, I didn't want corals because I thought it was too hard to maintain, much too chemistry and a lot of expensive equipment to get. So, algae and all the micro stuffes we get with live rocks would be enough for me. It was definitly indubitable.

Indeed, I guess I cracked up... :roll:

Here's my 20 liters marine tank.

Here's with blue background light (using LED)

Great stuff.

It's a low tech / low cost tank.

No filter, no skimmer.

Just a 6500K fluorescent bulb (23w) and 2.7 w blue led.

One nano koralia and 3 kgs of live rocks.

I just change 10 % of water every week

ps : you use kilograms and centimeters or pounds and inches ?...

[Deepsound]

Great stuff.

Thanks

Love it

The tank looks very nice.

ps : you use kilograms and centimeters or pounds and inches ?...

kg and cm It is the measurement used by the modern world

[phoenix44]

I can't use centimetres unless its for a small measurement like something that will fit on a piece of paper. If its under 30cm / 1 foot I convert it to inches and cm in my head.

I use kg's and feet and inches. millimetres completely throw me off and confuse the hell out of me.

I don't see the point of using mm either...unless its actually less then 1cm.

I don't like reading that a tank is 900 by 400 by 400... why waste room typing extra zeros? :lol:

[alanmin4304]

Builders use mm and dressmakers use cm. Go Bob the builder.

Discosomas

The same under blue light (450 nm LED)

[dreadbunny]

That's beautiful with with background lighting, well done! How did you do that?

[Deepsound]

Thanks dreadbunny

I did it with white paper sheet and blue LEDs backlight (2.7w)

The real colors (I mean colors I can see in front of the tank, cause I can't get it on the picture :-? ) is a kind of fluorescent yellow for the discosoma. Under 6500K or 10.000 K lighting, it appears blue-green.

The same under 10.000K CFL lamp

Under a blue / white CFL lamp

[Deepsound]

Under blue light, zoanthus appears with a real nice pink/orange edging.

But I unfortunatly can't shoot it. It doesn't appears on the picture.
