Check this video out: African Malawi Mbuna Reef Tank in HD


Just a lil tour of my Malawi Reef :P 3/03/09 Let me know what you guys think! It’s a new setup :) The fish loveeeeeeee it I’ll keep you guys updated when the Salousi’s and Sunshine’s fully color up :)

Hi all, it’s been a while, but better late than never I guess ;) After battling montipora eating nudibranch for 2 months, I thought I had won the fight, only to discover that a calcium overdose had slowed them down. ( I had reached 1000 instead of 400-500 we are aiming for!) So when the calcium problem got solved (still killed a bunch of corals), the nudis got back stronger than ever and ate pretty much all the montis available. So here is the tank 8 months after a heartbreaking battle that I lost. I plan on adding new corals in july, so stay tuned. Started in february 2008, 6 ft, 130g display, 70g sump, 3x MH 400W 14 000 K Hamilton lights, 1x tunze 6080, 2x hydor koralia 4, 1x koralia 1, usa current 1/3 hp chiller, reeflo 200 skimmer, ph monitor, refractometer, cheato and caulerpa in sump+ 70 lbs live rock, fans, 1x 250 watt heater, 30g water reserve, 100 gpd RO/DI, Deltec H20 salt… SONG BY PHANTOGRAM : MOUTHFUL OF DIAMONDS Thanks for all the comments, until next video, Ganzel

  24. reddingredneck says:

    That is one nice set up that you have there. I cant figure out if you have small fish and a large tank or regular fish with a huge tank, it looks big. I LOVE THAT BIG ROCK, that things awsome! Only problem is that song you chose makes me want to kill people, is this weird? Good job on the tank tho…

  25. alexandergre says:

    is that ocean rock?
    what kind of rock is it?

    nice tank.. I have some of you fishes too.. <3
