Hey guys and gals

I just wanted to share my saltwater lagoon (pond). I find it much more enjoyable to view my critters from above as opposed from the side. Plus it's fun to hand feed my fish.

I took a 300 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank and transformed it into my lagoon.




VIDEO UPDATE----------------------MAKE SURE IT'S SET TO HD 1080P



Critters:
Achilles Tang
Naso Tang Juvinile
Queen Angel
Queen Angel Juvenile
Emperor Angel
Black and White Ocellaris
Ocellaris Clown
Bicolor Angel
Lyretail Anthias (2x female, 1x male)

1x Regal Tangs Juvenile

1x Passer Angel Juvinile (currently in quarantine)
Various Hermit Crabs
1x Ornate Spiny Lobster
2x Blue Spiny Lobster
200 lbs live rock
Super thin sand bed with a mix of fine and crushed coral.
Aqua Remora C 180 Skimmer
Marineland LEDs
EcoTech Marine MP60 Vortech
400W Marineland Heater

That's neat. I get tired of seeing the same tanks all the time. Is this something you could grow coral in too? I dunno if that's possible with the angels or not though.

You can definitely grow corals in something like this. You are right though. The queen angels are a no go with corals. I have another tank that houses my corals. This is just my fun lagoon FOWLR tank.

Tannersmith,
That is pretty BA!!! Nice setup. A side viewing panel would be awesome, but you would probably have to be lying down on the ground to see through it. LOL.

lol true
I am not interested in a side viewing panel. I am just happy rolling around on my computer chair just watching the fish come check me out and beg for food. I feel like I am looking into a tide pool.

Now this has got to be one of the coolest things ever. I LOVE IT. Reminds me when i was a kid living in P.R. And swimming out to the shallow reefs and watching the fish standing up on the reefs.....Very good idea here and most EXCELLENT.

When you get some spare chane, buy a GOPRO place it in the lagoon and film them from inside.....That will look AWESOME.
