temperate reef

[hobogato]

it seems to be pretty much done, but with cold water tanks it is a little different. because of the temperature, you never get a huge population of bacteria, so every time the bioload changes, there will be an adjustment period for the bacterial populations. it is similar to tropical tanks, but can effect the tank more drastically. i have one small waratah anemone in the tank atm, and will be adding some small colonial anemones and a green surf anemone in the next week or two (waiting on shipment from a vendor). eventually, i will start to add a few fish slowly. everything has to be done slowly to avoid overloading the small population of bacteria.
