No miscer with aquarium hobbies?

[Gsxr25]

I used to have a 180gal in-wall setup. Hobby was too time consuming/expensive.
brb spent at minimum 5k.

[ooblaiseoo]

I don't have an aquarium hobby but can appreciate a nice tank. GJDM! looking good, you should get one of those lion fish those are BA

[Impregnator]

inperssive!

in after little nemo

[Drufeus]

Setting up a 40 gal reef as we speak. No pics. Its the ELOS MIDI system. Will be LPS dominant with some SPS corals. Clown with Anem is a must for me. Tank looks good but could use some more rock especially if you plan on more coral and for better filtration. You using a sump, skimmer, dosing? Also what are the lights? Like the blue green chromis, great shoaling fish. That yellow tang helping with the hair algea or cleaning crew? Could get away with a butterfly in there if algae is an issue but looks pretty well stocked with fist as they all look small right now. Salt water is alot of work and even more with coral but it is very rewarding. Can't wait to get some livestock in mine after the cycle. Setting up a Discus tank at work too!!!

Yea it was nice, when I'm CEO'in 10k a day I will get one again and just hire someone to maintain that shhit.

[Drufeus]

Go to reefcentral.com and you will see tanks 5x's the size of a 180 and they aren't CEO's or anything. It's actually really easy to maintain and the more water volume you have, the easier it is. A large live rock and fish only predatory tank would be easy for a large tank. Coral is where it gets expensive because of lighting and water quality issues.

[wraith1234]

^^^ What Drufeus said , and yeah Corals are expensive as fukk over here some 200$ + but they really are beautiful.

Yeah tank def needs more live rocks , but over here it's about 10$ per pound... i know the guy so i get it at 7$ but still costly. Not planning on adding anything else to the tank beside maybe more cleanup crew and a blue light and live rocks , Yeah that Yellow tang is def helping with the algae ! My corals aren't really hard corals to keep so don't need some awesome light's for em and not planning on getting harder ones but some corals are just omfg so beautifull..... maybe later in time when i have more money , but yeah tank is pretty full as far as fish the tangs are still small. Bet you can't wait for that cycle to finish up and start it eh ?

Nice bro , did you have saltwater??? Cause the maintain ain't that bad for saltwater tanks... just some quick water change and add some salt , clean filters... takes me about 1h a month tops with the gf helping.

[Drufeus]

I'm actually running an ATS (algea turf scrubber) as my main filtration other than live rock. Something you may want to look into if you get algea problems down the road and they are an easy DIY. So that will shorten my cycle by a ton. Good place to find cured live rock is on craigslist as many people are always taking tanks down can get it cheap with some bonus zoanthids and stuff.

Yeah.... i don't have a quarantine tank so i only buy live rocks from my LPS , not trusting people lol already got Ich in it once could not use copper for treatment or anything since i have corals .... wiped out half the tank cost me about 300$ of fish in about 4 days

[joshwaaaa]

Have a 20g which is only a fresh tank 3 months old. Still got a few more corals to fill it


Also have a 4x2x1.5 with sump, which i am half way through setting up

[wraith1234]

^^^ Nice man u gonna turn that 2nd tank into saltwater? gonna look awesome

[joshwaaaa]

yup saltwater, fresh water is boring. I could sit and look at the critters in my 20g for hours on end , always find new stuff in the tank

[syoungs]

Miring everything above this post. good job guys. I started a 29g a few times, but never could get it going, work kept me away for days at a time unexpectedly, now that im a bit more stable, I plan on restarting my 90g into a salt tank.

[FourKicks]

Ive got the lights, protien skimmer, alot of base rock, and the chemicals. I figure for less then $1000, I can have it running and mostly stocked.

[psu_beezt]

fuuu nice bro. i cant wait to have my own place so i can set up an epic reef tank. been readin about it for years and used to keep a pair of clowns..now all i need is a couple thousand and i can make it happen lol

[mgftp]

Very nice OP.

I have had a 75 in the past. Didn't have the time for it anymore.

Now just a 12 with minnows from the stream in my backyard. ha

[wraith1234]

^^^ lmao minnows from the steam nice brah ! i remember you from the nhl thread !

If you already have the tank , lights then yeah man for sure under 1000$ you can have it running but i dunno about it mostly stocked at that price though ... lol ( got filtration/heater/power jets ? )

fuuu nice bro. i cant wait to have my own place so i can set up an epic reef tank. been readin about it for years and used to keep a pair of clowns..now all i need is a couple thousand and i can make it happen lol

It's worth it man you can just sit and watch it for hours never know when certain fish is gonna come out or you even see new sh it in it sometimes lol bought some live rocks once.... like 2 weeks later i see this emerald crab walking arround im like WTF ! hahaha was in a rock i guess

[CoreMaster75]

How much is a simple set-up the doesn't require any piping? Is that even possible? Just want a simple one for my room. How long can they go without feeding(ie. what do you do if you're away for a 3 day weekend? Leave friday back sunday)

[psu_beezt]

whats ur filtration like?

[AirForceV]

Never owned a fish in my life.

But always love fish tanks in houses.

mirin bro.

How much really depends on the tank size , and no why would it require piping? You usally feed them everyday but you can buy a autofeeder if you ever you are going away for couple days at a time

whats ur filtration like?

Got a filter for a 110g , Almost bought the 150G one but figured the 110g was enough and never had a problem with it. Using 3 Power jets too.

mirin bro.

Thanks bro

[EvolutionSic]

i put tropical crabs in with my terrorpins, It was like 6 vs 2....

The terrorpins mashed them waste of 5 bucks

figured if there the same size.... it wont matter.... i was wrong
