Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi All
Just wanted to document my saltwater conversion from freshwater.
I've had freshwater fish as a hobby for almost a decade and have always wondered what it would be like to have saltwater fish. I started contemplating ser iously about half a year ago, when I took my newborn to the aquarium and saw him light up. And thanks to Bavass and the recent groupbuy, I'm finally going to ready to go forward.
Here's the picture of the tank as it is right now. It's a 36G Aqueon Bowfront Tank. I have the stock hood, about 25lbs of blue gravel, some plants that aren't doing too well (but the fish still like it), a spongebob theme, and the other pieces of equipment are a coralife timer, coralife UV sterilizer and an Eheim 2213 canister filter.
You'll also see a Hydor Powerhead (425). I put that in there just to see what it would do. It's funny, I always thought my fish were lazy cause they would just sit there and not 'swim'. With the extra flow now, they're active most of the day; and quite fun to watch. Oh well....
My local store, from where I'm getting some of the rest of my gear is willing to buy (store credit) my fish... I have a couple mollies, red zebras, blood fin tetras, harlequin rasporas, and pretty fish I can't remember the name to...
