This tank is absolutely stunning. You must be so proud of yourself! It truly looks fantastic.

...Got more photos of your shrimp? I might be slightly obsessed.

Rats, not on this device!

I’m actually out on town for today and tomorrow, for a last minute mini family vacation.

I have some good photos on my computer. I’ll post them for you when I get back!

I’m truly in love with my saltwater tank right now... I might just like it better than freshwater... ??

I will love it even more when I get an anemone!

I’ll upload pictures of the shrimp sometime today. :)

Tank is pretty much the same as when I left!

I am getting some red algae however... might have to plop the turbo snail on that.

Why are you changing the light?
If the corals are fine with the current light, leave it for a while.

The red algae is blue green algae (Cyanobacter bacteria) just in a red and green form. Suck it out with a syphon hose and cut back on the dry food.

I’m afraid it won’t be powerful enough for the anemone, once I get it. Also, I don’t want to be held back in getting any type of coral, because my lighting is to weak.

The PAR is also low.

(Clownfish are good at photobombing. :lol: )
 
Yes, absolutely! You should setup a nano saltwater tank, so you can get one of these. ;)
I'd really love to, but it all sounds so expensive!! If I'm able to get a tank for the living room or something I'd probably argue my case for getting a SW tank. At some point I'd like to try out every kind of tank you can have, just so I can see what I like best lol.

Honestly, I think I like SW more than freshwater... ?

You can check out @OliveFish05’s saltwater general question thread, to post your questions. :)

Lol, I have been trying to convince my mom to get a saltwater tank. I keep telling her "all you need is a 10 gallon saltwater tank and you can keep dwarf seahorses" but after my dad told her that our LFS has a stingray, she says she doesnt think she would be satisfied :rofl:

If you decide to keep seahorses, make sure you get captive bred. Seahorses collected from the wild are incredibly hard to keep in captivity.

Captive bred seahorses are actually quite easy. My LFS has several in their frag tank - it’s really fun to watch them change colors, as they move from coral to coral. :) :wub:

Ahh ok. That is interesting!

OOOOOOOO. My mom just loves seahorses. We visited an aquarium when we were on vacation down in Florida once, and they had some seahorses that had been born just that morning, it was really cool. I will have to try harder to talk my mom into a saltwater tank:ninja::shifty:

Common Seahorses do need a minimum tank size of 30 gallons, so keep that in mind. :good:
