Aquarium Advice Addict
I have been so angry with my 5.5, it was a great little tank for 2 months, and then I had a string algae outbreak and nothing will fix it. I am disgusted with my efforts and no results. AND, after my recent endevour into the SW world, which it has bitten me, I want to make another tank. I do not want to spend a million dollars on the setup and what not, so my thoughts are this. I fell in love with Salt4Us tank which was in their sons bedroom. I thought how cool it would be to make a little FOWLR. The only thing I need to buy is some LR and a bag of southdown. I dont care how long it takes to cycle or whatever, just as long as I dont have this nasty string factory sitting next to me all the time. I have a small HOB, I might need to get a small PH for current, or is that even needed. I will want a GREAT clean up crew to keep algae at bay. I have a heater. I have lighting although it is really really yellow. Would the bubls being on the lower end of the spectrum make algae worse? I would put the SD sand in and then seed it with some LS from my minibow. I really appreciate anyones comments.
Also, the fish I want is a watchman goby and a pistol shrimp.
Thanks for any insight on what I should do, and how I should do it.
