No major progress yet, although a few changes to the plan have been made. i've decided to switch from the Maroni river over to the Rio Tapajo. I plan on having it be slightly tinted. not fully blackwater but noticeably colored. as for stocking ill be keeping the shoal of angels and a shoal of...

Hi all, Not sure that this belongs here, so admins feel free to move if need be. I originally posted in Getting Started but decided this made more sense. Anyway, to the point. As the title suggests, I'm preparing to set up a 55 gallon aquarium, modeled after the Marowijne river in Suriname...

KingofDIY has a vid on it.

Id honestly go with a simple, diy in tank sump. Like, $30 worth of equipment and an hour or so and youve got a nice looking AIO tank.

Id say drop the platys, and maybe just have 8 cardinals. Its still a tad overstocked but nothing you cant compensate for with frequent water changes. Losing the bristlenose would help with that but its not neccesary. Good luck with the tank!

Hey, sorry, theres only one Cardinal actually, just a reflection. [emoji23] [emoji28] and the damsel is tiny right now so no problems yet. Ill definitely be keeping an eye on it tho.

My first saltwater tank, currently no coral but looking to change that real soon. Been running for about two months. I have 8 hermits, 2 turbo snails, an Occelaris, a Banggai cardinal, a Lawnmower Blenny and a royal damsel. All getting along great. Currently deciding on corals. Trying to take it...

Had my first little Diatom bloom overnight. Apparently Im doing something right. Kinda exciting to be honest!

Okay cool. If its a strawberry Ill probably leave it be. They look pretty cool anyways

After doing some reading Im thinking it MIGHT be a strawberry anemone. Cant be sure though.

Found this hitchhiker on my rock, its about a centimeter across and has what looks to be tiny little sweeper tentacles. It doesnt look like apstasia, but I could be wrong. Any Ideas?

Im planning on mostly euphyllias, since they can be close to eachother and have so much movement. But I plan to start with some really basic stuff just to get a feel for it. Maybe Xenia or Kenya tree. Leaning towards Xenia since its a bit more controllable. Ill wait on carbon then, didnt think...

That sounds good, better safe than sorry.

Basically a place for me to document my little dive into saltwater and get some help. I picked up a Biocube 29 a week ago and im 7 days into the cycle. 30 lbs of "live" sand and 28 lbs of live rock. Running the stock filter media just added carbon. Ill be starting with a FOWLR tank for about a...

Im not sure if this is the place to post this, but oh well. I got a 29 gallon tank from a friend a few months back. It was stocked with a pair of angelfish and a few other things. Im currently rehoming all but one Angel. I plan to setup a Amazon basin biotope, and simulate the natural habitat of...
