Description: Aquarium resources. Learn about setting up a fish tank and maintaining an established tank.
Here’s an example of how to celebrate Earth Day while being an aquarium owner.
On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Earth Hour invites people around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in their local time zone. On this day, cities around the world, including Copenhagen, Chicago, Melbourne, Dubai, and Tel Aviv, will hold events to acknowledge their commitment to energy conservation.
As crazy as this sounds, aren’t you glad you are not combating this within your aquarium right now?
The annual mass spawning of corals on the Palau archipelago in the western Pacific has occurred right on cue.
With Sunday night’s full moon, coral polyps let forth a huge swathe of sperm and egg, to seed the next generation.
The event was short-lived - only about 30 minutes - but so vast in its scale that it turned the sea water pink.
Read the rest in the article over at BBC. There are pictures and video along with the story. Quite an interesting incident.
Check this video out. Nice concept for an upside down fish tank. The music is pretty funny for a video such as this. Why not something more relaxing?
There are a few photos floating around the net right now regarding a pipeline fish tank, or a fish highway. The fish highway is a concept that uses suction to elevate water out of a fish tank into an upper container.
I also recently posted a video of an open bottom aquarium that uses pretty much the exact same type of concept, just executed differently. This is interesting stuff.
As an aquarium hobbyist, I would actually rather not delve into this type of setup myself. There seems to be a decent amount of risk for a water spill. And when the water spills, there will be a lot of water spilling. I have a hard enough time maintaining a simple 75 gallon tank.
Read more about the fish highway here. Also of particular interest is the patent on the fish highway concept that is available on the site.
This aquarium is massive. Think of the trouble you went through to set up your fish tank… after watching this video I don’t feel like I really worked all that hard to set up my tank. At least I didn’t need a crane to get my tank into my apartment.
It would be fun to see this aquarium in person.
What if you could hang your aquarium on a wall? With a frame around it? You may find this either cheesy, or kind of neat. You decide.
