Mattias first saltwater build :)

I have 5 mangroves growing in my cube's fuge. It's taken months and months but they are finally budding and I have the led light running opposite my main lights. I have a timer set for the leds so it runs over night and hopefully is helping keep the Ph stable.

So what exactly is ph and why is it so important?

Also, in the media basket I'll run chemi pure and carbon and ill have some poly fill on top for mechanical filtration.

 

[carey]

Yep, I run the chemi pure elite in my media basket and I run purigen instead of the carbon. The filter floss is a great invention I swear, helps keep my water nice and clear.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Cool! I'll probably run regular old carbon with the chemi pure.

My six line is extremely active. Never stops. He loves darting in and out of the rocks. I have seen him go through hole I never would have imagined he could fit through.

Yeah that's what I'm looking for. Would it get along with a clown, a bangaii, a jaw fish, and a royal gramma?

I went on a program called people to people student ambassadors. I was lucky enough to get picked to go. Australia is a really nice place. There really into keeping the ocean clean and environmental stuff.

Why not?

 

[needmorecowbell]

Wow that is lucky, and I just don't think my parents will let me. Plus, I don't live coastal and even if i did live in jersey or oc Maryland, it's not very good for the scuba diving I would like to do.
