First saltwater tank.

Guess I haven't updated in a while...
Duncan got a new head, and I got a hammer.
Got a 5 dollar torch that died, expected.
Then I went on vacation and left the light on for 72 hours...
They all kinda died...
Firefiah died from a disease too, RIP.

Then I just left the tank to sit for a while, fed her but nothing else, for a year maybe?
Gonna do a big clean soon!

Looking forward to it!

First post of the new and cleaned tank, without 15 lbs of algae will be coming soon...
First I have to get sand AND salt though...
Maybe a week?

 

[Wraven]

those rocks will scrub up nicely in some saltwater. Looking forward to updates :)

Salt and sand can be afforded now! First I'm gonna test my hydrometer though...

 

[Wraven]

do you have a refractometer? I have heard the hydrometers aren't very accurate but I'm not certain on that

Nah.
Hydrometer are accurate to 0.001. Not too accurate, but good enough.

Update: cleaned! Rocks still got a Lil but of algae, but will get that off later! Tiara will stay in Ze Bucket of Doom for now...

 

[Wraven]

looking a lot better!

There we go!

RIP tiara.
She died this morning. Ill test the water tomorrow to see if its ammonia, or just her being a little old and stress making her pass early.
