The Volcano Tank - Konolua

I've been mentioning the volcano to several people this year.

Common, Kyle, 2015 is almost over, we all want to see what the master artist has been working on :artist:

Ha ha! Been missing in action that is for sure. Since the tank was up, I have had a few life changes (saw some family members pass on, have had a little girl, almost 4 now) and I had to take it down. However, the itch has been coming back. I have my next tank in mind, and have been formulating my next plans.

It will be about a foot or tall, like this one, but I will have two distinct sections, and it will be about 8 feet long (I am targeting). A part of my wants to have two depths, but that will require a bit more customization that I will be willing. My thoughts are to provide all the automation I previously had, but really focusing on the mangrove part. I also want to target fiddler crabs this time with a bio-sand bed up with the mangroves that will be closed in. I will then focus the other portion as a full coral reef, focused on clown species for the water column. That part worked really well in the Volcano.

I am truly appreciative of everyone's kind words. That means a lot! I have also been commissioned to build two custom tanks this year, so I will post some info on those as well.

Thanks to everyone and I hope everyone has awesome tanks this year!

Sorry to revive an old thread. But a thread on R2R reminded me of this tank. Sad to see the pics are gone. Here’s one I was able to pull from google

Gnarly setup. I’d throw some fiddler crabs on the mountain

I also noticed the mangroves don’t they need needed nutrient water ?
