REEF TANK TOURS - "macroalgae aquarium" - PRIVATE SHOWROOM ( 3 x Nano saltwater tanks)

The macroalgae reef tanks setup by Dennis was built with a lot of planning regarding the technical area the stocking and LED and equipment. The aquascape is composed of a algae stock. Inside there’re different species of macroalgae, branching coralline algae, and red mangroves.
The impressive thing about this aquarium is the accommodation of the equipment. The sump and base cabinet have been fantastically adapted to the technique.

I keep freshwater tanks only. I had no idea that saltwater could look like this. I like this way more than the blue light reef tanks. This is truly making me want to try this out some day.

This looks so much better than most saltwater tanks, idk why macroalgae isnt the norm in the hobby

More finicky than freshwater plants, I think I am planning on turning my failing macro tank into a planted tank.

@apdroidgeek1737 4 ай бұрын

macroalgae are really hard to take care of compared to corals.

@apdroidgeek1737 4 ай бұрын

and sometimes you cant have both, people who wanna keep saltwater are usually into vibrant corals not some plants.

@OmniversalInsect 4 ай бұрын

@@apdroidgeek1737 I couldn't keep either of them lol. I think with saltwater you just gotta spend a lot of money to make it work, I tried to do it cheap with minimal equipment and I can't really keep much.

@Hfd678vcdg 2 жыл бұрын

This is great, On the actual reef, macro algae can be as common as coral depending on the habitat. I really feel many reefers either forget, or never know what is it actually like out there. Some tanks look more like a Pixar movie than an actual ecosystem.

I agree. I’ve got both corals and plants/ macro algae in my display tank. It’s a nice natural balance.

can sea anemone's be kept with macro algae and coral? All three in an aquarium would look beautiful.

@@seafriendlyreef @Tigahboy I want to get into Macro algae for my green puffer (topaz puffer) tank. It's currently running at SG of 1.015 salinity. Which species do you think would do well? I have no issues with increasing the salinity at this point either. These algae are kind of hard to track down in the Netherlands. Any tips on getting some on the european market? Ps.

Very nice work Tobias! It's Travis owner of "WolfDaddysReef" thanks so much for featuring my tank. This is such an interesting slice of the hobby. Coming from the freshwater planted side, we would often mock the "blued-out" unnatural look of reef tanks. Most reef tanks are so formulaic and do not follow the aesthetics championed by people like Takashi Amano. Tanks like Tigahboy's are the reason I left freshwater. I can see freshwater aqascapers picking up macro tanks and doing so much with them, I even messaged Juris JS to try a salt water aquascape.

Regarding the LED light, imo it's inspired by Cinescraper. The guy uses yellow LED bar behind his tanks when shooting and it works magnificently on the overall color's temp and mood tone. It makes his vids not only unique but brings out the best color of his tanks. The same thing was applied here but you have to be more creative with reef tank because the color scheme is wild and psychedelic af!
