I have been into fish tanks for along time but they were freshwater. Then the faithful day came where the wife came home and told me about this tank someone had left in an apartment at her work at the time . They had been evicted and left behind this tank running with some fish in it.

The first problem was the phosphate issue which later i found to be because the maint. crew thought they would "help" by dumping a whole thing of flake food in the tank. LOL any ways this is what started my saltwater crack addiction :smile:

now i have 4 tanks going and the big one on the way !!!

This is the big project that im working on right now and have been for way to long but my budget is tight so it will take a few to finish (kids gotta eat LOL). this tank is 84in long x30 in deep x 24 in tall . the sump and all the plumbing will be in the garage that will be sectioned off for the fish room. This will look like a in-wall when completed and it will have approx. a 12-14 in bar in front of it. The openings below will have doors on them.
I will be running 3 lumenarcs with 250 watt 20 k bulbs.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 5 16.7%
  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 10 33.3%
  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 5 16.7%
  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

    Votes: 2 6.7%
  • I haven’t really considered this before
