Preferably reef safe, and maybe good as a feeder? If not shrimp, any other decently sized inverts that breed quick and are good for feeding or just as neat cohabitants? I already breed a few species of copepods
The tank’s dimensions are 33cm wide, 72cm long and 40cm tall.
It’ll be a mix of macroalgae and soft corals, along with For snails there’ll be 1 Trochus Snail, 3 cerith snails, a single strawberry conch and three nassarius snails, 9 sexy shrimp, a single porcelain crab and a feather duster worm
I’m thinking a pair of clowns or some other nano fish
Pretty sure whatever it is isn’t supposed to be there and honestly he’s a little creepy. Hundreds of legs and he’s rigged on the side
The tank in question is 29cm in Width, 58cm in Length and 42cm Height, so 70 litres or 18 gallons.
I was originally wanting it in my 25 gallon but they’re just too aggressive for my other livestock.
And this tank in particular is will have corals and macroalgeas that are more invasive, think blue octodes and caulerpa taxifolia Pulsing Xenia, green star polyps, Kenya tree, mushroom coral, Star Polyp Blue (Anthem App) and zoanthids
Today was the day! It has been a hot minute since I felt the "new tank excitement."
So much more is needed but so pumped for this step!
I can’t seem to figure out how to get rid of dark section in my sand. It’s only in the front of the tank and siphoning it doesn’t fix it.
Just received this coral from LFS and looks like I have a hitch hiker. Any ideas what it is? The first part of the video you can see the muscle looking thing jizz in the water. Then a better video with the blue light off.
The tank’s dimensions are 33cm wide, 72cm long and 40cm tall, so 25 gallons.
I have to be honest I really really want the damselfish! I mean look at him!
But my tank will also have sexy shrimp and snails.
Thoughts?
This is the aquarium my uncle has, he is prepping to have live lobster in it. Can anyone help me understand where this cloudiness is being caused. I know he has added marine salt and bio balls to the water system already. Please help, I’ve been up reading about it for a couple hours now to understand. Thank you!
It’s been a while since I posted a post about a nudibranch that showed up out of nowhere. The population of them is pretty stable now and one of them has doubled in size. I’m still wondering what type it is and if anyone has similar experiences.
Hi everyone! first time setting up a saltwater tank so I'm starting the cycle. I'm confused about the ammonia reading though. After 5 minutes, it's looking a lot more blue than green. Could this mean I overdosed the tank with ammonia chloride? I was very careful and only added an extremely small dose.
This test was about 4-5 min in after adding the chemicals.
After about 10 minutes it's looking exactly like the nitrite colour at 0ppm. (but I know you're not supposed to look after 5 minutes)
I am a long time freshwater aquatic hobbyist but looking to get into marine aquatics, I have been eying up a new tank (Fluval sea flex 32.5) I’ve got mist of the basics down I’m more wondering about what I would like to stock. I’m looking to do a clown pair with an anemone as well as a watchman Goby and pistol shrimp with a CUC would this be viable in the fluval tank or should I look into a larger tank as this is the stock I want dependent of fish temperament obviously if they’re gonna fight I don’t want it thanks for all the help! Also if you think anything else is needed feel free to chime in however I think I have the basics of marine aquatics down now.
Just picked up my last buy from Mr. Randy
He purchased a storage unit with no knowledge of reefing or the value. I discovered he looked up the prices and really did not even care how much it was worth just wanted to make space.
After today I am of a total 180 dollars into this purchase how’d I end up guys?
100 gallon SC aquarium 48x24x20
2 sets of Dual Eflux current power heads so 4 power heads total
Aquamaxx protien skimmer
Aquamaxx filter media reactor
36” biotech marine sump
Mind you all these were new in the box
Image is when I just got the tank
The tank in question is 29cm in Width, 58cm in Length and 42cm Height, so 70 litres.
For macroalgae blue octodes and caulerpa taxifolia
For corals Pulsing Xenia, green star polyps, Kenya tree, mushroom coral, Star Polyp Blue (Anthem App) and zoanthids
I’m not sure about inverts or fish.
Help?
I’m wanting it to be wild and low maintenance compared to my display tank
I’m wanting two aquariums.
One aquarium will have more verity of macroalgea and the over being more invasive and I’m thinking maybe I could switch it between the two tanks so it can eat them without outright destroying them?
For the first tank its macroalgea will be red bamboo macroalgae, Cryptonemia Crenulata, dead man's fingers macroalgae, branching hex macroalgae and orange galaxy macroalgae.
The invasive reef will just have blue octodes and caulerpa taxifolia.
But is my idea silly/dangerous?
Hello everyone!
I am trying to get back into the hobby.
I have kept freshwater ponds, and many different fish in it, I have also kept lots of freshwater aquariums.
I love how saltwater aquariums look.
I am curious to know if you could give yourself a tip, or guide yourself when you were getting into the hobby, what would you tell yourself?
I would love to get any tips, and help across any of it.
My goal is to have a separate reef tank, and then to have saltwater tanks for fish.
I still need to learn a ton about salt water, which I am doing so slowly.
Thank you guys
hello! i’ve been wanting to start an aquarium for many years but have recently been looking into starting a salt water tank, i got a 130L tank from council cleanup that i’m gonna reseal and get setup inside as a mostly coral and anemone (with some shrimps and maybe snails? for a cleanup crew) as i’m not overly sure if i want fish yet
i’m a beginner and don’t know where to start, im hoping that someone from australia can help me gauge an idea of what brands of equipment are good and what equipment i’m gonna need for a tank of this size.
i’m gonna reiterate that i’m a toddler when it comes to this, i’m not planning on starting for a couple months because i don’t wanna fuck up and regret ever starting it so i wanna go in with full confidence
tank is 130L (?) 91cm x 35cm x 41cm
The tank’s dimensions are 33cm wide, 72cm long and 40cm tall.
It’s my first saltwater tank
For macroalgae there’ll be red bamboo macroalgae, Cryptonemia Crenulata, dead man's fingers macroalgae, branching hex macroalgae and orange galaxy macroalgae.
For corals I’m think zoanthids, frogspawn coral, blue green sympodium, Duncan coral and candy cane coral and mushroom coral
For anemones Mini Carpet Anemone and rock flower anemone
For snails there’ll be 1 Astra snail, 3 cerith snails and three nassarius snails
For shrimps there’ll be 1 candy cane pistol shrimp and 5 sexy shrimp
For fish there’ll be a single yasha goby pared with the pistol shrimp, a tailspot blenny and a blue sapphire damselfish.
There’ll also be a single porcelain crab and a feather duster worm
Thoughts on what else I can add?
