Salt Water Aquariums

[EVL_Ripper]

Haven't done a Saltwater tank as the upcost of maintaining it and the cost of the fish wasn't too thrilling. I had a freshwater up until a year ago and I loved it.

I just put the last stain of Varnish/Gloss on my stand I just custom built for it, it looks sick. I'll take pics of it tomorrow when it's dry.

Anyway, my setup is going to be (by this Saturday)

-55 Gallon Tank
-55lbs Live Sand
-55lbs of Live Rock
-2 Vortech Blowers (keeps the water moving inside)


Not doing fish yet until everything is settled. First 2 fish will come around christmas. Going to get a pair of mated Clown Fish (nemos). Mated ones are sweet b/c they follow each other all the time. I'll eventually be adding more fish like Damsals and whatnot, but I really can't wait to get my Dwarf Lion Fish in there. <--mother fucker is gonna be like that.

Once I move into my new place in the summer is when I will be adding a Canister Filter so I can start growing/adding Coral into the mix as well.

Basically my setup is going to be a Reef Aquarium w/ 5 fish, 1 Moray Eel, and a bunch of shrimp/crab/snails to keep shit clean.

I'll take step by step pics of the process once it gets movin' this weekend.
