Video of worlds smallest long term reef aquarium

by brandon429

I know there are smaller ones but the shotglass ones are a joke and the average red sea betta bowl reefs do not live past 3 months, much less three years. I swear I'll stop claiming it's the smallest original pico when new vids of someone else's emerge...until then gimme some votes on my pics yo! nice to meet you all

So brandon, your the owner of the famous reef bowl! That thing is sick. I ran across it one day and showed the guys at my lfs, everyone loves it around here. How much work is it?

thanks for stopping by fihs it's really not that hard but it's frequent because of how dense it is. One can easily put in half as much coral, half or no inverts, and get a normal two week run out of it before nitrate issues. I like to make it look crazy and the truth is that's all i can afford, the rear shot shows how barren it is I can't really afford to fill that side up as dense as the front. It sits on the edge of my kitchen sink so you see I don't naturally procrastinate water changes like a larger tank would cause. When making breakfast I just reach under the sink and pull out a gallon jug of premade and siphon the vase through it's feeding cork. I don't even have to move it for water changes, so they are that fast. I do em three times a week now to keep up with this feeding, obviously I have to compensate somehow with no skimmer but I swear its less work than a larger reef and far far cheaper!

if i misread forgive me..............did you build the tank in avatar pic? if so very cool man - -you just do frequent water changes and that has been enough for water quality? lol testing must be hard hell you'd use half the tank water to get the test tubes filled for the tests....hahahaha
