Wow, lovely marine tanks. My hubby would love to have one, but I’ve managed to convince him to wait until we own our own house and don’t move a round every few years! I don’t mind moving the tropicals, but I don’t fancy trying to keep all those marine critters alive during a long move!
wow
love the tanks and the photos are great! what camera you using?
love the first pictures of the 4 gal fw planted w/ shrimp looks really natural.
is this the tank your thinking of putting the cpd’s in?

That is a fantastic set of photos, the marines are gorgous. I think you will fit in perfect here..
Yeah, especially the unofficial ‘great at taking pic.’s of aquaria” club…
But seriously, those are awesome tanks.

Dude! Beautiful tanks, marine and FW both! Do your gobies and pipefish get enough food from the live sand/rock, or do they need daily live food additions? I agree with the previous comments about the shrimp tank. Nice piece of aquatic poetry.
Your “mountain scenery” freshwater tank is simply splendid and I hope you make more tanks like that, or post more photos of it. WOW!!!
Hey Waterfaller,
I recognize the Ludwigia Repens, the “tall trees” in your “mountain scenery” tank. What are the small-leafed ones on the bottom of the mountains? And the long green-stemmed ones? I also notice you have a moss ball in there, correct?
Love it!!!
Wow, you are all so nice! Thanks for the nice compliments.
chr15_8~The camera is a cannon G-5. There are better cannons out now. The Rebel is very popular amongst hobbyists, and takes wonderful macro shots that blow my photos away.
The tanks- I am torn. Having never kept any shrimp like this before, I have been researching planted tanks, small tanks, and what fish I could possibly keep. That’s how I found out what a CPD was, someone told me they were good candidates for keeping with the shrimp. Still others think I shouldn’t keep any fish with the shrimp, as they act more at ease without predators swimming overhead. So I have another cube just like this one. I was thinking of doing something similar, but with different type of stone{sieryu} and maybe different higher light plants. I have ordered two 9 wt 6500 K bulbs, to see if they fire up in this little reptile light I have.L777~Babe, sweetie, dear, lady,miss,maam,honey….anything but “dude”
The gobies eat mysis shrimp & other foods that I feed. I don’t keep sandsifting gobies, as they will eat all the beneficial infauna from your sandbed…and then generally starve. The pipefish{I have another type as well} are very difficult to care for. I have a refugium, and I add live copepods to it & the main tank every few months & feed them, to insure they are available for my pipefish, and my dragonette{a scooter}celestial dude~ludwigia repens is the tall background stem plant, the green stringy one in the middle is dwarf sagittaria, the one in the front is referred to as HC~Hemianthus callitrichoides .I don’t think I have enough light for it, if it makes it until I get the 2nd tank set up I will put it there. Yes, the moss ball is a marimo ball, a curious thing. It doesn’t need much light, just to be turned. I turn it every day. There is also Taiwan & Christmas moss in the tank. I am waiting for dosing stuff to arrive, then I will begin dosing small amounts of Seachem products.
Thanks again everyone. :wink:Waterfaller,
again to your tanks: WOW! (Sorry for any offense: My “dude!” was more of an exclamation than an address) Thanks for the explanation. I was curious how you kept the pipefish and dragonette fed — sounds like your ‘pod and supplement diet is working out.Keep the great px coming, ma’am! We love ’em!
It’s ok..I was just messin… :lol:
