Hello and thanks for stopping in. We have had a salt tank for alil over a year now. Mind you we modded a fresh tank we had to start our first salt tank. And it was all my sons idea at first. So we started with a
57 gallon marineland coloum tank with stand and top. And a 150w heater and that was it. So not knowing much we rusged out and bought sugar sand 50lbs of it. Some live rock. A instant ocean 150 skimmer, thats all the local petsmart had.. We didnt know much but we jumped full force into it. Set up the salt to 1.023 and began. Cycling the tank with a aqueon pump we had from another tank
As my gf stated it looked like the toilet after taco night....ha.. So we let that flow for a day and i ran back to petsmart and bought a aquaclear 110 and filled it up the rest of the way
Now after a few weeks it looked good we had a rough couple weeks befor because well i filled it with tap water.. Thank you petco. So drained and filled with rodi water. And back on track our first children were a pair of baby clowns
Now i still didnt have a light etc so i figued make one i had some pcv gutters and caps from the house when i did a face lift i just made a mounting plate and siliconed plexi so it will be water tight and wala good for just fish
Tada. Cheap and simple we didnt want to invest in expencive lights well just because if this crashed and burned the less the better
So continued
