it was more of the live rock that costed a lot like i said small town and actually the only people who sold salt tank stuff closed about 2 years ago but i was paying 70$ a pound of live rock and oyu need a lot of it so i decided it was too much money, i would like to set the tank back up just to do like regular aquarium and not salt water
Ah, the trick there would be to buy a lot of dry dead rock, seed it with like a pound of live rock, and just go through like a 6 month cycle while the bacteria colonizes the dead rock...Bingo! 50 pounds of live rock for a fraction of the cost. $70 a lb is pretty high though, considering I thought 7 a lb at my LFS was unreasonable! lol
no sure i really like angel fish, and bottom feeders are cute too, i guess if i did set it up again id have plants and like neat little hiding areas and some pretty fish like schools of tetras
Yeah, wish I had the patience for planted tanks. The way I feel as it is, a reef tank is like a saltwater planted tank, sorta...lol...except the plants are living animals...that sometimes look like plants...lol..I mean, technically, there ARE planted marine tanks, with macroalgae, but that's not my style. I like things than glow bright neon green and pink and orange...haha
Yeah, stunning...Maybe some day I'll try something like that...this is one of my favs...
Well...We'll be waiting for some pics...What did you decide you wanna do with it?man so ive decided to put up my tank
Nice, vivarium are cool too! I've been tempted more than once to set one up. Almost pulled the trigger on a nice terrarium on clearance the other day.....One that you can fill wit water for the first 6 inches or so.Just want to say all of your reefs out there are gorgeous. I tried reefing for a while but I just wasn't good at it. Awesome little creatures though? I got into dart frogs after reefing... land plants treat me much better
Haha, yeah, I just like to get high and stare at them...part of my motivation for having such small desktop pico reefs...
