Live Saltwater Dawrf Octopus Nano Aquarium Fishtank - eBay (item 130464254442 end time Dec-14-10 18:03:33 PST)


I couldnt think of anything that I wanted but then I remembered I wanted to get a small salt water tank for my Bday well that didnt happen so I told him I want a 10 to 20 gal tank and this to go in it!!!

 

[LariP]

I hope he listens. Keep us posted.

I think that is absolutely KEWL!!!!!!!!!. We have a zillion freshwater tanks but no salt. IF we did I'd have some of those!

My husband had two 100 gal. tanks fresh and salt, when he got transferred to Fl. 2 years ago, rather than move them he sold them off. He loves aquariums. I got him a 75 gal. with stand, freshwater for this Christmas. He has no idea!! I hope you get your tank!

Thanks guys.. I want to start small since I have never had a salt water tank.. I have a 37 gal eclipse show tank that is sitting in the garage, I need to get it out and clean it up and get some parts for the hood. I wouldnt know the first thing about changing that over to a salt water tank.. But Im searching the web lol..

We have a large pleco we are trying to get out of our 1000 gallon tank in the basement today. I just drained about 800 gallons out and am now waiting for Lari to finish sewing to help me. I have to get in it with waders on to catch that darn pleco and need her help.

WOW thats alot of water lol... So do you have to change the tank water every few days? This is what I have read..

 

[BruceP]

Water change frequency depends on the bio load of the tank. Most tanks we have get changed on a weekly basic but the two big ones, 1000 and 700 gallons, have massive filtration systems and light bio loads so they dont get changed very often. They can go months without changing but should have something like koi clay added once in a while to replenish some of the minerals.
We have breeder tanks that because there are so many baby fish in them get changed quite often.
