FarmerTy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Most of the time I gripe about being rich doesn't buy you good taste... but I don't hate that kitchen aquarium. [emoji57] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viet'spride70 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I am not into that aquarium-kitchen setup at all, i cant imagine how fishy can take all the bangings and chopping noises when dinner is coming...still very attractive though. but i always love to see inwall/ room devider aquarium designs...impressively beautiful apartment...wish i could live there for a week... thanks for the posts, guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 What's hilarious is the guy ripping the tanks in the comments below. He used to work for the company that maintained the tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother-in-law has a saltwater pool. I was intently questioning him about the salinity levels, etc. Biggest issue is that I think the spa would have to be the SPS section to prevent me from stepping on everything. Imagine fragging that way though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 This is an official one of a kind, butt-fragged echinata for sale. I sat on the colony in the spa. [emoji24] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Of yeah, I've definitely thought about many of the logistics during my morning swims. I would have my nicer SPS in shallow areas, perhaps near a viewing window, and out of the way of foot traffic. A large patch of stag horn and plating corals in the deeper end of the pool, anemones and random sps in the incline area, and maybe some patches of GSP and zoas in filler areas. Stock the pool with plenty of tangs, schools of anthias and chromis, and of course some nice large angelfish that cruise around the pool all day. This would be in a greenhouse or an area with plenty of natural light and supplement that with actinic LED canons. Have one heck of a protein skimmer in the pump house, a hot tub size sump with macro algae, and flow would be provided by industrial sized pool pumps set to wave mode.

Reburn Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Can you imagine the metric ton of carbon and GFO needed to keep up with a coral pool. Now it would be cool if you lived in the keys and could just recirculate seawater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Haha I wouldn't even try and bother with Carbon and GFO at those levels! I imagine you would run into some permitting issues with circulating ocean water in and out of a pool full of potentially invasive species for the keys... But it would certainly be a lot easier!

nvrEnuf Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 There is a house in the keys with a four foot deep saltwater "pool" going throughout the landscape. If memory serves it's about 50,000 gallons and is a closed system running on an apex. you probably wouldn't want to use the local water unless you only had indeginous species. Now, indian ocean....Aussie....those would be even cooler. But honestly, just give me a house on the beach somwehere in the central western pacific with a 1000 gallon grow tank outside under netting. That's my "retirment" dream! Gonna need some mailing addresses guys...give me a year or two for growing and check the mail!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 If we lived in the South Pacific then there wouldn't be a need for a tank at all! You have thousands of miles of coral reefs to explore. I agree though, I would still propagate corals in underwater pvc gardens or use floats anchored to the sea floor and tie coral frags onto the line for them to grow out on. Or use shallow concrete troughs like the do for mariculturing clams! That would be a nice semi-retirement job for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvrEnuf Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I've been looking into it for a couple years now. There is a small country or three both over there as well as in the caribean that are now offering "grants" o set up mariculture farms. I have 4 years left untill the daughter goes off to college...I will probably start getting serious at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested in looking into something like this. ARC can create it's own mariculture operation! We can rotate staff out to live in the island beach bungalow to maintain and care for the facility at different time intervals so no one has to completely give up their life here in the states!

I have done 0 actual research. Mainly because I know if I started I wouldn't stop! Belize was one country, but you had to be a resident for 5 years before eligible for the grant. The other one I saw might have been christmas Island area? It wasn't much of a grant....like cheap 3 acres, a generator and some concrete. From my limited understanding most of what you're getting is rghts to the reef, but that doesn't mean much because these countries aren't exactly known for thier police work.

I'd be more than happy to set up a program like that, especially if I get to write off a Belize beach house that way. In other news, membership prices will be increasing to $40,000 per year.

nvrEnuf Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Belize has gone up, but it still isn't bad, 1/2 acre on an island is about $50K for beachfront last time I checked. But, I am looking at Honduras or Panama as they are less populated, cheaper, and not yet inundated with tourists. Even Costa Rica is now americanized! I lean much more towards the pacific these days! Better Corals anyways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
