Cash in the attic

So my father passed away about 10 years ago and today we found a random bag of papers in the attic from him. In it I found $300 worth of savings bonds. Woo!! Looks like my mini nano tank begins tomorrow. So I'm turning my 10 gal into a nano tank. Tomorrow I will be buying my lr and live sand. I will also be investing in a small attachable LED light. Just a few questions. Do i need to buy special pre-mixed water to start? Do I need extra salt? Will evaporation be more common with a closed lid or open lid?

You can keep your lid closed.

 

[Belladog0]

Just buy filtered water. No extra salt nesseccary.

Thanks Bella, I appreciate it!!

Just buy your premixed saltwater from your Lfs to start. And I would say leave the top open for better gas exchange which is healthier for the fish.

o that is a good point. I'm planning on a wrasse in the future. Known jumpers?

 

[EriksFish315]

Not sure but for $12 why take the risk with any fish?

$12 eggcrate top

Wonderful, never thought of that. Construction beginning

 

[EriksFish315]

Yeah thought it was a slick idea since that's what it's used for is flourecent lighting panels in ceilings. Allows all the light to still go threw.

I just bought the live rock, live sand and pre mixed water today. The Journey Begins

That egg shell crate lid looks hideous

 

[EriksFish315]

Thanks for $12 why not fits good and would never know it was on there.

Maybe if you're a hobbit

I'm 6'2" and can't see it while looking at my tank.

 

[RumRunner222]

I can really tell from the pictures you posted. Can't see it at all....

 

[EriksFish315]

If you don't have anything positive to post don't post at all.

I like the idea, I'm using it for my tank! Again, thank you very much Erik for the idea!!!
