As the title says I'm trying to see if the water in my canal is survivable.
Now obviously yes it is by the perch,baitfish and whatnot that live in it. But I want to see if coral can survive in it. If I could build a reef with the canal water. Using the water as a giant sump. Just like many aquriums. (I have a separate thread on this.)
So I decided to do a experiment.
I got a bowl today and filled it up with some of the canal water I harvested right off my dock. Then I put a small dry rubble rock(not in tank) some sand, 2 shells and a frag plug. Which were all in the same tank that my test coral originated in. I then put my "subjects" in. 2 branches of waving hand anthilia? And one small xinia frag. All that had been laying around the tank from the self fragging.
I also put it a little aerator for some air and current. It puts alof of flow.
So hopefully some of yall would like to follow along with this weird little thing I'm trying. Maybe I'll get a good outcome.
(Sorry for bad images. Sand was settling and sun was going down. )
Also this is naturally lit!.
Water volume:2 solo cups.
