The Cardinal
Swede living in Finland
Greetings from Helsinki Finland :wavehand:!
BACKGROUND:
After living as a kid in Miami in 1985-1986 I was amazed with the coral reefs at Pennekamp and the tropical environment so different from my earlier childhood in Sweden. I dreamt that one day it would be possible to have corals and marine fish in an aquarium; my own slice of the tropical ocean when the winter storms raged outside my window to lighten up the darkness of the North.
In 2004 I stumbled upon Reefcentral and saw the TOTM and was thrilled to see the amazing results that technology and the knowledge could produce.
MY FORMER REEF TANKS:
In 2005 I therefore started my first reef; a 375L reef without a sump converted from my fresh water aquarium:
I also started a smaller 275L cube aquarium in 2008 where I kept seahorses and my captive bred Banggai Cardinals:
In 2009 I had to stop with the hobby due to changes in my family situation.
