paul b February 14, 2021 Share February 14, 2021 It was started in 1971 and was moved three times. The longest it was in one place was 40 years. The last move was almost 3 years ago. The glass was also changed three times as it got scratched from cleaning. It was started in a 40 gallon glass, then for 45 years it was in 100 gallon glass and now 125 gallons. It uses 100% NSW and the oldest fish, a firefish is about 35 or 40 years old. His mate is a couple of years younger and they spawn constantly. There are about 25 fish. Watchman gobies are spawning as are 6 line wrasses, fireclowns and rainsford gobies. It uses dolomite and a reverse Undergravel filter. The ATO, algae scrubber and skimmer are also DIY Nothing was ever quarantined or medicated (Actually it's birthday is in March of this year in 2 weeks so I cheated a little) https://ww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul b February 16, 2021 Author Share February 16, 2021 That age I said in the beginning is supposed to read "Fireclown" not firefish which don't live that long at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowsingle February 23, 2021 Share February 23, 2021 Congrats, your philosophy on improving nutrition for fish to improve their longevity really inspired me to put more effort into feeding my fish more frequently and with natural ingredients. It has really helped to decrease mortality for me. Thanks for all of your rants ! Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
