Africa is one of the most dangerous ecosystems on earth, and I attempted to simulate it for 100 days. If an animal I show in the video is not native to Africa, it has a similar counterpart there, and I cannot keep the African variant due to legal restrictions.

Some may be skeptical about how this tank will perform in the long run. After two months of being set up, all the animals are thriving. I have yet to do a water change, and the only maintenance is topping off the water and feeding the corals.
For this tank, I mostly used soft corals and LPS in order to keep maintenance to a minimum. I have one or two SPS corals in the tank as well. Let me know what you think of the build! Is there anything you wouldβve done differently?

Surprisingly, keeping them was very similar to keeping ants. In the past Iβve raised a variety of ant colonies, but none were as difficult as wasps. I honestly donβt know what would be worseβmy pet wasps escaping or fire ants.
Many of you are probably wondering what happened to the queen yellowjacket in the last video. After caring for her for two weeks, I quickly realized she was too aggressive. I settled on releasing her far, far away from my house.

Anyway, I figured it was about time I did another update on this tank. Everything has been going smoothly, and I haven't had any problems thus far.
Many people were concerned that crabs would eat the geckos, but I've had zero injuries. The crabs and geckos will sit adjacent to each other and nothing will happen.

If you are going to replicate this for yourself, DO NOT USE a fine grained sand like I did. The sand may be able to pass through the filter foam. This can damage the filter and significantly reduce its lifespan. Instead, use rocks or a LARGE gravel. As usual, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments below.
Products I used:
Filter Foam: amzn.to/3wRvdg7
Spray Foam: amzn.to/3JLEVEo
Light: amzn.to/3wGOUHn
Silicone: amzn.to/3qBAuEx

Something else I didn't mention was that after returning home from the aquarium store, I realized that all the shrimp I had purchased were female. From there I proceeded to drive all the way back just to buy 2 males. So far they all seem to be doing great, and I haven't had any acclimation issues. I supplement them food once a week and I use "Shrimp King Complete".
This project was built over the course of about a month and there were weeks of preparation beforehand. It's still not finished, and I plan on adding more plants/hardscape overtime. If I had only one piece of advice I could give it would be to TAKE YOUR TIME. It took me hours and hours to get the hardscape and plants right. It will be worth it in the long run.
