Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I just want to share my tank, I'm pretty proud of it so far. I started this tank last August after finding out on this site that nano tanks were possible, I always thought a giant tank was mandatory. I wanted to start a salt tank for the challenge, and for the beauty of the colour and texture variations you get with salt water. I've been keeping fish since adolescence, and I could spend hours just checking out my tank. I also just last week moved it from the basement up onto my nightstand so I get to see it even better!
It can be a bit of a challenge getting livestock and supplies to where I live in BC's west Kootenays, especially since I want to see what exactly I am getting, and not pay through the nose for shipping. I had to wait a whole 5 weeks before my lfs could even get their hands on some live rock for me! Out of town trips are always fun though, because I get to check out new fish stores!
My colt coral and mushrooms especially are growing like weeds! I think my next challenge will be to try fragging them and see how it goes. After, that is, I manage to get rid of the aiptasia I accidentally picked up with my last purchase I'm torn between trading my much loved skunk cleaner shrimp for a peppermint shrimp to eat them, because they don't sound like they are compatible, or just lethally injecting the ones I can see as they become big enough. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Anyways I hope you enjoy my pics! The gsp's, green mushrooms, and misc polyps are new in the last few days, I'm still trying to decide where to put them!
Pics are taken from my iPhone, so not the greatest quality.
