29g Saltwater Nano Tank

[PheonixKingZ]

What’s up TFF?

This is going to my official journal for my 29g SW nano tank.

Here is the tank as of right now:

List of items I currently have;

• Hydrometer
• Salt
• Heater
• Filter
• Bottled Bacteria
• Sand
• Powerhead
• Filter
• Food

——

I’m going to go ahead and setup the tank and then purchase the RO system.

Process should start tomorrow! Super exciting to finally get my fingers salty.

woooow, do you have to set up a whole system of like a sump, very accurate measurements all the time, lights, and just a lot of stuff that is bigger than the tank?
i do not know a lot about saltwater, looking forward to hearing about it

What fish or shrimps do you plan to keep?

 

[Colin_T]

Make sure there are no power sockets near the tank. Marine tanks tend to leave a bit of salt spray that can conduct electricity and give you a zap. Coverglass help to reduce this but just monitor any plugs and wipe them down regularly if they get any salt on them.

I don’t have a sump, I will use a HOB filter. (A Seachem Tidal 35)

Not sure what you mean by measurements... like parameters? Yes, I will be testing those very often.

Lights should come in today sometime.

What fish or shrimps do you plan to keep?

I would like to keep a pair of clownfish, a shrimp (probably a scarlet skunk or some other species), and maybe a goby.

Progress will start today!! Super pumped to finally be doing something with this tank.

All I need to do is finish cleaning the filter and then I’m all set.

Mixing the sand will be interesting, as it’s my first time doing so. I’m just glad I don’t have livestock yet, because I guarantee you my salinity is going to be off...

oh yea i know

alright back to the future tank

 

[PheonixKingZ]

Started!

Light came in and I’m really impressed with it so far. It has a white/green, white/blue, and all blue setting:

Mixed the water just a tad bit salty. ?

I’ll do a full review on the light later.

Plan is to keep going and get this baby filled up! I will add less salt next time.
