A look at some of my aquascapes past and present.
55g planted aquarium
i’ve done 10g and 2.5g planted setups. i wanted to turn the 55g into one. of course diy, poor mans, low-tech route. oh yeah i dont do aquascaping. as long as it grows i’ll be happy. and i’ll just trim when they grow in.
setup:
55g, two dual shoplights 40w/tubes = 160w = ~2.9w/g, plant/aquarium & sunlight tubes, open top, supersoil and (play)sand subtrates, two small powerheads, 100w heater, no filter, airstone (night use only), eggcrates.
plants:
anachris/elodea, ludwigia (ovalis or repens?), watersprite, various cryptocorynes, dwarf anubias, brazilian pennywort, unknown (stem) pennywort, microswords, corkscrew vals, unknown amazonsword, and possible glossostigma (hitchhiker), which would be the best xmas gift for 2006. *update: it is a glossostigma elatinoides. i dont think any xmas gift will top this lil’plant.
fish:
2m/4fm orange guppies, 4 otocinclus, 2 amano shrimps, 8 lampeyes. possibly will add a few small angels to eat a few guppy fry.
plant food:
flourish iron and supplement, no co2 setup, just the once/day fish morning feeding. and night time oxygenation.
those interested in this route.

Planted fish tank aquarium on day 1031 Gallon Saltwater Aquarium and Globe Ecosystem
1 Gallon Pico Reef, 1/2 gallon sealed SPS reef tank, 19 gallon bog terrarium globe, 75 gallon planted tank with Co2 injection. Keeping ecosystems in odd containers changes the chemistry and dynamics interestingly and has a direct correlation to evaporation rates, nitrate binding or export, and temperature stabilization to name a few.
For example, a fluted vase design allows for an inner-diameter resting lid, which changes the salinity and saltcreep maintenance drastically vs any other shape. It also provides an angled surface for detritus accumulation, which is easily wiped for maintenance and this is (nitrogen) export.
A small square palmtop design, with an internal plant sub-division, becomes the first and still the only longterm sealed (non evaporating) coral reef aquarium, growing acroporid coral specimens into 3 inch tabular forums documented over a two year course.
Shape matters in pico reef design, and pico reef design matters to marine biology as a whole because it influences coral morphology, allelopathy, and new observations for science unique to hyperconcentrated niche environments.
thank you for stopping by!
I invite everyone to discuss the biology or problems associated with any aquarium care, and feel free to link your own micro reefs if you keep them.
Anyone who would like to research pico reef history can start at Reefs.Org and Reefcentral around 2002 and nano-reef.com
These forums paved the way for the explosion in popularity and are 95% of the existing documentation regarding progress of this layman’s science
It seemed interesting for all of us to share pico reef design concepts on this video, so post anything you know about them please or any reference material on the matter.
nice to meet you all and thank you for watching!
I stay active enough on this forum and in the marine and fish forums it won’t be too hard to find me so we can chat about marine biology and aquatic sciences if not here. I will also help you build and stabilize these, so hit me up in the comments if you start one.

This is one of eight goldfish in my tank. They are still to small to
survive the redfin perch in my pond. So they stay with pumpkinseeds,
Gudgeons, Goldfish and Rudds in the tank until they are grown up.
