Poor Boys Saltwater Tank LOG
    #717212 - 02/24/14 08:30 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I picked up this tank at the beginning of February and got it for a great deal. The guy who had it before me neglected it for months and a result from that was crazy hair algae. He offered me a great deal so i went through with it.

The tank is a 30 gallon tall with basic pc lights. For filtration I have an overflow box that drains into a sump which is filled with bio balls and then a sponge. I placed a return pump into the other half of the sump which has the new filtered water and then pumps that back into the tank.

I also have a hang on back (HOB) filter with a media bag that has a basic light that shines over the filter. by doing this i am able to grow copepods which feed my 2 mandarins.

In the tank itself i have...

Live Sand Bed
35lbs of Live Rock
1 Clown Fish
2 Mandarins
1 White Diamond Goby
1 Lawnmower Blenny
2 Hermit Crabs
4 Snails with a handful of baby snails
3 Kenya Trees
20+ Purple Mushrooms
1 Curly-Que Anemone

In the near future I might add a Sea Hare, but other than that, I'm going to let the tank establish. My main goal is to keep this tank for at least a year and then upgrade to a larger tank.

The pics start from the first day i had it set up and I will continue to add new ones as i go along.















Filtration:







Fish and Coral:





(Ill edit this and add more pics here in a bit.)

newest addition...

Sea Hare





its a fat slug that does nothing but eat. im actually just renting him. i have some hair algae that seems to take over the tank and its too much for my blenny. thing is, once the algae is gone i have to give him back because he will starve in days. he literally has to eat non stop.

newest addition. 2 peppermint shrimp. i picked them up for a couple reasons...

first and foremost, they are cool looking and are a great addition to any hobbyist tank.

second reason is due to an aiptasia... these fuckers suck! they are aggressive and will attack all fish any chance they get. peppermint fish are known for eating them so hopefully they do the trick.

Thanks!

Yeah man, ill help out as much as I can. I'm still learning myself.

Saltwater tanks can be so rewarding. Its amazing to have a piece of ocean in your house and to be able to watch it grow. I can't wait for this tank to mature so I can move into at least a 75g bow front corner tank.

Well, its a sad day in the fish world...

I lost my female mandrain this morning. Not sure what happen. It looks like it might have been stung by my anonome, but I'm unsure right now.

I do still have the larger mandarin...

Yeah, it does. They are cool little fish, but it comes with the hobby. No matter what you know or do or how much you spend, shit will go south from time to time.

Once I get a bigger tank I plan on introducing another female mandarin, but for now, all is pretty okay.

If I lose one more fish though, I'm gonna trade it all for a 1/4 sheet of L and then go swimming in the ocean.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

Thats whats up, im multi posting like a beast, but this shit gets me off.  I once deconstructed a filter and filled the whole thing with ceramic rings.  I was pushing 540 gph in a 40 gallon tank. 

The bitch had flow my son.. and it was silent.  I miss that flow sound, hella zen, you know?

There is such a thing as over cleaning... There are certain organisms and bacteria that need semi dirty water. You just gotta find that perfect balance.

The skimmer i have is rated for a 65g and i have a 30g. Granted, i have 10g in my sump and another 5g in my return bucket. Even with that added extra, i still keep the dial on the skimmer on the lower speed.

One thing i do want to work on is sectioning off my skimmer so i can add a sand bed underneath my macro and LR. I have no idea how i will pull this off, without spending any money...

Yeah that's what Im saying, when you have four seperate filters you can cycle the nitrate cleaning one by one and not kill off all your benefical bacteria, but not let them get so funked up that the nitrates start climbing.

What are you picturing with your sand bed?  Give me a heads up on what you're picturing and I'll see if I can brainstorm something up.  Its tough when I can't physically see your system..

We can get anything done for dirt cheap, I know that much.

I need some acrylic that will sit in between the skimmer and where the sand bed will sit. The only purpose of the separation is keeping the sand from being sucked into the skimmer.

I don't know much about saltwater tanks
but I have worked in the swimming pool business for 6+ years
sand filters normally have something like this (usually a bunch) to keep sand where it needs to stay



the slits are too small for sand to pass through
you could probably just drill a hole and silicon one in place

It should run you about 10 or 20 bucks.  It depends on if the cutter wants to charge you the whole sheet.  Theyre usually 24x48.  I would think its about 10 bucks..

You'll have to stand around for an hour trying to find a cutter, but..

I just picked up a 60 gallon tank, but I'm going with freshwater. I'm not experienced enough for a saltwater tank :shrug:



In all honesty, when you start breaking it down saltwater is a lot easier than sweetwater, it just costs boatloads more to set up.  Fresh you have all kinds of specific levels depending on what you choose to keep etc, salt water is pretty much 'seen one, seen'm all'..

Don't be intimidated, set up some polyps in a 20 gal and iron out all the details and once you have that down the sky's the limit, sky aka bank account.  It's just another aspect of nature :thumbup:

I got everything set up last night. Took fucking forever to get it going though. All my jugs were cracked so i was left with 1 5g ozarka jug. I was only able to use about 18gs of the old water and i had to fill a 46g plus the 30g sump.

I also fucked up and didnt leave enough space for the hood to sit flat and flush. Im thinking i might be able to shave down the corner just enough to sit down in place.

I also have to fuck with the skimmer. Its not working properly.

Ill def get some pics once everything is said and done.

Oh, i also got chased down in my car from a guy on foot.

I got the skimmer running. Salt creeped up in the airline.

I must say, this new set up looks dope as fuck.

Slow and steady gets it.  Those blue lights are dope as fuck.  Tape off the seams down below so when you chill bonged out in your bean bag chair you dont see the white light from what's going on down below..

Get the "sways" in there, you know what I mean?  Movement, that shit will have you tripping at night.  Current "sways".. you know what I mean,

Hella potential in that tank :thumbup:
