lol... looking forward in future.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! TIME TO LAY BACK AND RELAX!
A Journey Of A Thousand Miles Begins With A Single Step
Okay okay. I also want to do Marine!!!
Can 2 ft tank do fare in Marine?
hmmmm for marine setup, its always best to start up big cos its extremely difficult to maintain the water parameters in small tank. Usually small tank set up is for expert marine hobbyist.
For beginners, its best to start out big with beginner corals or fish only tank so as to not to be demoralise with high casuality rate.its really troublesome.....maintaining the marine tank....but with passion and knowledge should not be a prob...
If i were u i would go 3 ft tank or bigger.....then again this is from my personal experience.........
are u going for fish only or fish and coral set up??? corals considered intermediate stage and above.....
2 ft is doable, but I would highly recommend running a 2ft sump tank along with the 2ft main tank, the larger the volume of water the easier it will be (relatively) to maintain stable salinity and chemistry.
You'll be thankful you have a sump later on.
ha!
nice to hear so many of us here thinking about going marine!
I have been doing FW for more than 15 years since I was a 16 year old boy. Finally took a step of faith after 2 years of preparation reading and researching.
Let's form a " Newly Marine Converts " club
Actually was deliberately between marine and viva (after mr eddy's thread), but i love the smell of salt from the sea since I was young.
Hope to see more updates from emmanuel's tank!
so samhon, wahts your best advice to beginner salt water guys??
correct me if i am wrong, an excellent filtration , larger the water volume, solid knowledge of the corals and fishes is few key points to a successful saltwater hobbyist...there are lots more key items to take note too...knowing understaning the nitrogen cycle etc..........
hi viva,
I am sorry but I sincerely doubt that I am in a position to able to give advice.
There are certainly many others here who are very seasoned and have hands on knowledge on the marine aquarium, I for one have yet to acquire a running marine aquarium. Maybe you could asked some of the seniors here like Gondo and BFG, they would definitely be able to point out some important aspects of marine. Those that you mentioned are very essential too.
But personally I would think patience and willingness to be humbled and learn is very important in the reefing hobby
