Hi!
At this time is not possible to take pictures of my tank, this have to do with the fact that i have lowered the water level, this way the water don't touch the top glass and i can easily maintain the temperature day and especially at night. Toke some pics of the night time were i live, so you can see that the temperature outside is below 0ºC, but the tank is around 25ºC:   Best Regards Vitor Pestana |

Impressive, you're able to do this with just one 300 watt heater?

At this time and to prevent a malfuntion i had to add a extra heater in case the first one fails during the night. Now the total is 600W for 1000 liters of water, not even a 1W per liter of water. Regards Vitor Pestana |

Vitor,
With the cold weather, I imagine the fuge temp -- the air at least will be quite low (just above zero?) -- is it affecting the mangroves at all? The roots will be safe of course, but I would watch the plants leaves don't drop off into the water. Now I know sweet 'hmm hmm' about mangroves, but I imagine they would not be used to such temps coming from the tropics? Monsieur Google says: http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/tiempo/...0/mangrove.htm Quote: "Frost caused by low temperature damages the mangroves in the north of Vietnam, especially on days with a low tide. On January 17th and 18th in 1961, for example, it was recorded in Quang Ninh that a number of mangrove leaves became dry and died when the temperature fell to below 2°C." If the leaves fall off, I would remove them quick sharp from the fuge. My cooker in the garden shed is keeping the temp @ 26C -- but I check it every day -- Hmm, I wonder if its even necessary to maintain reef temps just for LR cooking? hmmm. I shall ask Monsieur google... regards Conor. |

I have a feeling because the water temperature going to the refugium is the same as the reef, the air in the refugium would be balmy as long as the lid is relatively tight. Like some Terrariums sweat internally due to outside temperature differentials.

My refuge is just like a green house, if you see in the pics you'll see the lid, and like in every green housethe air exchange is very importante, there for i have an air pump to allow gases exchanges. At night i cover the tank and the refuge with roofmate, this way the temp losses are reduce to minimum, and the air temp is the same of the water. I still have some condensation in the refuge, matter afect this situation is helping the mangroves new lifes not to get salt burn on the hedges. Quote:

I would love to see how the pair of corals you got from the other guy are doing. The ones that you were testing the growth rates between out doors and in the coral nursery...
Have they grown more in your tank than his? or vise versa??? |

IIRC, his friend made it as they use NSW.
My mate and I go out on his boat on weekends to collect NSW. We use a powerhead with a hose -- luckily he has electricity on board, but you can always use a car ciggie lighter with a converter. Prior to that we used to struggle, and I mean **struggle** to get the container back out of the water. Mind you, we are usually drinking wine / beer at the time while fishing for Atlantic Makerel. I fish for fun, but its not real fishing -- its too easy. Throw in line, ten seconds later pull in 5 fish! We cant give them away fast enough! I prefer the "standing in the river" fly fishing, and catching nothing in ten hours... not everyone "gets it", but it is very peaceful and beautiful. Anyway... its a home made pump AFAIR. regards Conor. |
