Great Example of a Macro Reef

Most of you have already seen these but they are simply captivating. The key is to make the aquarium look natural and not like a cluttered mess of algae.

Awesome!!!!!

Wow. That is one of the ost natural looking exhibits I've seen thus far!

Is that a flounder? (4th pic)

Yeah it is. This tank is simply amazing. The only one of its kind i have ever seen.

There's this floating warf a few hours away from where I live. It's basically macro-algea heaven. I could probably create something like that using what I find there. (skulpins, flounders, some small (3" max) black fish and large brown fish I can't identify.

That would be cool. Do you have a spare tank?

I'm not allowed another tank until my birthday next year, however I don't have anything currently in my tank so I could always change plans. I'm just not sure what I want right now.

That is so cool! Can you special order macro algea and the organisms taht live in it?

I don't know if there's an actual company that sells it, however other people you meet on forums, for example, could probably ship to you.

...Or you could just go collect it yourself.

Yeah, i guess i could collect it in Alberta.

Oh whoops... Didn't think about location.

Check the link froglover. He collected all his stuff from the ocean. But you would have to find someone to ship to you...maybe brent since he also lives in canada.

Mom doesn't let me ship/purchase online : (

Sorry

Shame.

Freak, Thats exactly the kind of look i want in my 55. Just FW version so to speak.

Well you can do that but you need a whole lot of plants! FW might be what you really want after all.

Hey that tank was featured in Aquarium Magazine!

This months edition, it was pretty neat.

Really? Thats great that temperate reefs are making their way into the aquarium world finally. Even liveaquaria is starting to supply temperate livestock and they are aware of it to because they label it as sub-tropical.

thats a purty system

Very. He had such a diverse amount of marine species to. I am sorry he had to take it down.

he took it down?

Yeah. He found another apartment and couldn't take all the stuff with him. But he did release it all into the ocean which is a plus.

Thats cool. Ya it was in the magazine, pretty neat.

I have never heard of Aquarium magazine. How many pages was the article?
