I'm envious of people who can afford saltwater tanks (in a good sort of way). 
I've got freshwater and had to move it last week to have hardwood floors put down. The crew propped the front door open to cut the boards outside, the tank heated up from being near to the outdoors (temps around 100) and I ended up losing 5 fish. I love turning the lights in the house off at night and turning the tank light on and watching them. The sounds from the filter are peaceful. |

My current ongoing project. I had started a 20g nano that sprung a leak, so I transferred things over to a 10g, bought a new 29g at petco's recent $1 sale now switching over to that.
Just after filling it up this past thursday, caribsea sand very cloudy even using the plastic bag method to fill up the water 
Pic of it today, looks like little to no cycle due to my use of a several pounds of established rock, a few cups of live sand, and a nasty sponge I hadn't cleaned in two weeks out of my other tank into the Aquaclear on this one. If you look close you can see a couple Mollies in the lower right corner picked them up yesterday at petsmart for 80 cents each and acclimated them to marine conditions 1 male 2 females ones already preg for sure, once I transfer my fish and corals over and the molly fry pop out everyone will eat well. 
Pics kinda look crappy because I only have an 18 watt 6700k bulb on it, when I move the corals I'll move over the 4 T5HO 96 watt fixture. Other equipment is aquatic life mini skimmer, korelia 420gph circulation pump, 240gph circ pump, 100w aqueon heater, aquaclear 50 HOB filter. |
