Marine Salt water fish tanks
#1
So do you have a SW(Saltwater) tank RR(reefready) or Non RR or DIY RR?
What do you have going on?

What do you have for a set up.

You can see what I have done on my Website---Biodragen's Reef

I am in the process of selling off a bunch of it now. Let me know if you are in the market for anything.
E-mail me if you want-- [email protected].

I am downsizing to a 29g tank right now and also building a custom stand and canopy for it.
Just ran short on materials.
I have a friend who is holding some of my stuff for me until I get off the ground with it again.

Personally I think this RC stuff is way lees expensive. I blew over 13K on my stuff over the past 3 years.

Wow! that is an expensive hobby man, looks really cool though. My buddy across the street is all about the tanks, he has a 125g, a 75g, a 30g, and a 10g.

Everything from a turtle tank to Oscars to Pirahna. Can't forget his (3) lizard tanks either.

I have an eclipse 2 20 or 25 gallon tank. Its freshwater, but I have been looking to get into salt water for some time now. I don't have the money for a bigger tank and everything.

I got a 75 gal reef ready spilling into a 15x24 trickle sump thats filled with roch fragments and sand. 2 pumps. 1 for return the other running a 30" Nautelis(sp) skimmer outside the sump. Lighting is 4 130watt compact f.. with moon leds ( i think its an Orbit). Water is R/O. Heater is a 300wt. Jager in the overflow. 2 powerheads in tank.
I just set the tank up so im still on the die of /cure process. I got 180lbs of Live Sand and about 130 lbs of Live Rock. Will be looking for more cured rock after christmas.
I got my rock of ebay and am pretty happy. Looks very interisting and I got some pretty large pieces, just not cured. It even has some hard corals on it and sea matt(i think). My daughter and I had a fun time picking most of the buggers (clams,sponges and whatever else I could find) off that stinky stuf. 2 weeks later with alot of skim and were smelling much better. :o
This tank reminds me soo much of my trip to Mexico where most of my time was spent in the Caribean with my mask on snorkeling in the surf. Swimming around in 2ft. of water looking at all the stuf i had never seen before. My wife likes to collect shells and found a few that still had crabs in them and she got a pinch to say LET ME GO..HEHE..I thought it was so cool to be swimming ,look over my sholder to see a school of what looked like huge (24")fresh water angels checking me out to see what I was doing. Fun Times.

I used to love having my tank up!!!! I used to have the pretty fish, they kinda got boring qiuck though....

then My buddy and i had a 150 gallon with two pirahana that we grew from being the size of feeder goldfish to ruffly the size of your hand!!! They were red bellies and they were cool untill the decided they werent gonna put on a show anymore....

They WOULD NOT eat if they could see people!!! When they were small they would tear up whatever we feed them, but when they grew large they got very shy . We could go a couple of weeks without giving them much more thana pinch of flakes... Just to see the feeding frenzie, didnt matter how hungry they were the show was over.
Then they started to take seriously large chunks outta each other and thats when Mr. Tropical fish was introduced to a pile of snow.

From, there we got oscars, even though they werent as fast as the pirahannas they were so much cooler of fish to watch grow and have in the tank

I have a 40 gallon tank at my office that has freshwater fish in it. It's pretty colorful for freshwater. But I was wondering, what is live sand?

Live sand is where you have bacteria in it to help break down the waste from fish in the tank.
Another way of looking at it---it is a biological filter. No hardware needed in a sense.
It is what happens in the ocean.

You can have tiny microscopic bugs if you will in the sand. Even worms and things.
