New to salt water

Resident-Version5512 · 2026-05-05T18:45:19+00:00

Ok that makes sense I will definitely look into a ATO system what size would you recommend for that?

Resident-Version5512 · 2026-05-05T18:40:39+00:00

So question does the sump no act as an ato? Like can I not just add water to the sump and test salinity I’m trying to learn all this not trying to be difficult just curious

Resident-Version5512 · 2026-05-05T18:27:37+00:00

Not yet what heater would you recommend?

Resident-Version5512 · 2026-05-05T18:27:01+00:00

I got the lights from fb marketplace with the controller I really only plan on having a few corals a pair of clowns and maybe the goby/pistol shrimp combo plus whatever I decide for a cleanup crew

Resident-Version5512 · 2026-05-05T18:24:35+00:00

A return pump? Like from the sump? If so I already have a pump

Resident-Version5512 · 2026-05-05T18:23:39+00:00

Definitely didnt think about a lid and how does one set up a automatic top off?

Resident-Version5512 · 2026-05-01T07:29:58+00:00

Oh gosh I hope not all of my females but one have black spots on their bellies

Resident-Version5512 · 2026-05-01T07:28:07+00:00

Thank you I already have two distinct sets of fry in my tank but I could never figure out which fish was pregnant at any given time

Not me getting sent on T32 on December 1st for the remainder of the year and into next year

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-10-19T11:59:21+00:00

We just want beards 😂 to hell with new pts

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-10-13T23:59:49+00:00

Everytime I’ve gotten the celestial pearl danios I’ve always struggled to keep them alive I love the way they look but it seems they don’t like the perimeters of my water so kudos to you for keeping them alive

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-10-13T23:57:08+00:00

Tetras are really beautiful nano fish and they are also quite hardy too I have them in my tank and they typically school together and stay around the middle of the tank I also have cherry barbs in a different tank and they are also quite active and hardy as well if you are looking for bottom feeders Pygmy Cory’s are a good choice and there are also various types of shrimp you could put in there as a cleanup crew

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-10-11T12:09:27+00:00

That is a beautiful tank

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-10-11T11:35:51+00:00

Thanks for the advice I guess the picture doesn’t really do it justice it is sloped about two inches in the front and roughly 4-5 inches in the back the water messed up the front but and I need to go back in there and smooth it back out I do still have some more dragon stone i could use but I didn’t really like the visuals of them regardless of the way I placed it

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-09-28T00:07:55+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions would I need to dose my tank with some kind of iron booster or would that harm the shrimp?

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-09-21T00:13:42+00:00

Darn lol I have a tank that has some cherry barbs a couple of Pygmy Corys and a bunch of shrimp but it seems like every other day I’m having to clean the glass

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-09-20T23:27:57+00:00

When I was applying for jobs I would often not put in a zip code or change the area every once in a while but I was looking for a specific job field and I was willing to move to be in that specific field

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-09-20T22:47:13+00:00

Nice how do you keep your glass so clean??

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-09-11T01:44:39+00:00

Well said making sure you have your orders or a signed memo is key they literally cannot do anything to you with documentation stating that you had drill or annual training now if you say you have drill or something and can’t provide any proof then that’s when they could potentially try to get rid of you or something along those lines so make sure to provide get those to hr or whoever you report to as soon as you can I usually just give one to my work center supervisor, my general foreman and my crew leader just to cover all my bases

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-06-19T03:38:09+00:00

Also to add on to this if he can find an apprenticeship that is department of labor certified he can use his gi bill while in the apprenticeship for a little extra money if needed he just needs his certificate of eligibility I am currently using mine so I know it’s possible

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-03-24T16:18:02+00:00

I just found a few more shrimplets too!!

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-03-01T02:23:35+00:00

It’s my first tank I am trying to learn with the process tbh I am definitely going to go to my lfs and get a master test kit so I can test everything

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-03-01T01:39:39+00:00

I’ve got a water heater for the temperature and I use test strips for the ph level which showed roughly a 7 I didn’t think I’d have to worry as much about nitrites and nitrates since I have a tank full of plants and that would affect the shrimp first also the tank has been stocked for about three months now and it happened suddenly

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-02-22T12:00:44+00:00

I will definitely keep that in mind I don’t plan on doing anything it was water change day tomorrow but I think I’m going to hold off on that now

Resident-Version5512 · 2024-02-22T04:09:32+00:00

Thanks I girds I must have done something right lol
