Swedish fish - behind the scenes rebuilding a public aquarium

[Sallstrom]

Finally we got some trees in the temporary Aquarium!

Not sure on what we will do with the mangroves, but they make the room look nicer

Today's work. Drilling, cutting, glueing.

More stuff in the temporary Aquarium. Upsidedown Jellyfish.

Home grown sun corals, Tubastraea.

This is what my colleague did with the pile of LEDs!

Beautiful! Always enjoy reading about your progress.

How do you keep the jellyfish alive longterm?

Thank you!

We are breeding these jellyfish when we need a new generation. It's pretty easy. Specially when you have a colleague who's a jellyfish expert
These jellyfish gets to about two years, then they start to look old.
We're feeding with newly hatched artemia. They also host zooxanthellae, so they do okey with just good light as well.

The electrical safety part of me finds it surprising you are allowed to mount the 22oV power strips directly above the tanks on the temporary structure. Are they protected by a RCD?

I know.... I'm supposed to be looking at the coral... I can't help it!

All sockets are on RCD. So we are kind of following the rules I think.
But if we were to take a swim the tank, the tank would be in the category swimming pool. In a case like that we can't have 200V closer than 2 meters(or maybe more, I don't have it in my head) away from the tank. But as long as it's an ordinary aquarium and no swimming we can use 220V above the tank.

Here are some American sized frags for you to look at

Brew12 I was enjoying all the corals till you mention the 220 voltage.

Here are some mixed pictures from after the Friday cleaning in the temporary Aquarium.

I found a hybrid

And some fancy name Acropora

There's a R2R member who just add 48 pacific oysters for pre-filter, you guys ever consider that, I've heard they can live in 60°F- 78F(Pacific oysters) . I can see 500 oysters to help filter.

I really like the idea! We have a couple of blue mussels in our cold water system that's been there for some years now. But the mostly end up as sea star food..

In the reef tanks our corals are the main filter. We're adding both nitrate and phosphate daily to keep up with the demand. Just started to add EasyBooster algae concentrate as food for the corals in the new acrylic tanks. I think we will add both live rotifers and artemia nauplii daily too, just need to set up a dosing system.

Just what I was looking for!

I like the pipe frag. Great idea

I hope you aren't responsible for that kind or tank!!! ;Yuck

I've been writing on a text called "Reefkeeping without magic bottles" and I though that picture would fit in perfectly

Whoa How did I miss this

Welcome!
It's a kind of messy thread because of all the different tanks and the three Aquariums(the old, the temporary and the new Aquarium). So let me know if you want me to explain something

And hey, it may be just what someone needs for their septic tank!

This Eheim pump has been the return pump in our Cassoipea/Upsidedown jellyfish tank for nine years. It has never been cleaned and never caused any problems

Perhaps we should spray paint it in gold and put it on a pedestal (the tank was taken down this week, the pump is still working)

I'm hi-jacking your pic. For different thread I'm commenting on. Pump design. Not my thread. Thx
