Thinking of trying my hand at Saltwater.

I'm always down for a road trip! Bahaha!

Lol! I better get that then and QUICK! I'm all over it

I wouldn't put a porcupine puffer in a tank less than 24 inches front to back. These fish can get 19 inches and can only turn like a blimp turns. He will have a very hard time turning once he is larger. Tank mates for puffers are hit and miss. He can kill anything you put in there or be fine like mine is.

I'll have to get the dimensions... All I know Is it's 150g but only 5ft long.

[GuyeWinfield]

I don't lol! 2 150g and a 55 in the living room, a 29, 20, 10 & 5 in the kitchen! Gonna be moving soon. Got my very own fish room in the new house, YAY!!!

 

[obscurereef]

Whoa! Sounds like a dream come true Seems like that will be a hassle to move all of those tanks! Now that's commitment!!!

I gotta admit... I'm scared to death to breakdown the tanks! Thankfully both 150's empty. I have a heavily stocked Mixed African tank that I'm the most worried about, and countless fry and their tanks... Definitely gonna be a HUGE production

 

[Convict2161]

Have fun with that! lol

 

[Jess1ca]

Here's some pics of the extra stuff saving the tank for last! there are snails in the sand he gave me... Dead I'm assuming lol. He said its live sand... Guess I was picturing the sand being packed in water to be live??? Idk lol... He said that when I start the tank I will have live snails popping up, is that true??? I don't even know what the majority of this stuff is haha!!!

That's really cool! I saw a sneak peak of the tank...larger than life! The sump appears to have a wet/dry filter setup. Idk how well those lights will work for corals, probably will support soft corals? I think the ZooMed Coral Sun lights are T8 bulbs not T5 (HO). Still an unbelievable bargain!

 

[Jess1ca]

Here she is! Heaviest thing I have EVER lifted! The PVC pipe has weird white wormlike things all over it :/ unfortunately I think we loosened some of the plumbing while struggling to get it inside still all in all I think this package deal was WELL worth a hundred bucks

Thanks! It is massive haha!!! I have no idea how the sump works lol, I've jumped in head first without a clue I'm not sure about the lights either but since I can't really do coral right away anyways I have time to upgrade
