so i have actual kept a 10 gallon tank for the last 6 months and its cold water. and i upsized a week ago and the tank is beautiful and the anemones are splitting again and its was built on a budget because i am just a kid. people told me that i wouldn't be able to keep any salt tank alive and i saw it as a challenge and built a pico reef (2.5 gallons) then they said i couldn't keep a coldwater tank with out a chiller and i did it! i took a bucket and some pipe and filled it full of cement and built the tank for only 40$ sump and everything. this hobby is
Nice!this is the tank right now its not finished yet.
people told me i couldn't keep a tank in my garage and because its bucket of cement when it is set on the floor its it get super cold there is very little control over temp but tide pools change too so i dont really worry about it. the last week its been holding at around 60-58 without a chiller. with the cliller i can get it down to 51 but it doesn't get colder.Nice job! I've been a fish kid since I was 9 years old (26 years now). Wasn't brave enough to try saltwater until 5-6 years ago though. Is the bucket of cement a way to keep things cooler? Does it work? (Have you tried running with/without it to see any difference?).
Nice! Now all you need is a Catalina Goby. Always wanted one of those but they don't do well in a typical tropical reef.people told me i couldn't keep a tank in my garage and because its bucket of cement when it is set on the floor its it get super cold there is very little control over temp but tide pools change too so i dont really worry about it. the last week its been holding at around 60-58 without a chiller. with the cliller i can get it down to 51 but it doesn't get colder.
