ok u guys inspired me

what exactly do i need to get in order to have a salt water tank

and extmted cost.
minus the actual tank that is

so filter sand fish, heaters ect

djblademan · Postby **djblademan** » March 10th, 2009, 12:05 pm

MadCrix, sand, live rocks the generic bag/s of salt...
normal hangon filter & alil light & a clown fish or two & yuh good to go that is a simple one

the big time ones, ah skimmer, special filter witht eh powerheads & the bucket filter, the special uv light & if yuh having corals,, need to have the eco-system developed over ah period of time & yuh go need the bag/s sand more & often, the live corals cost hmmmmm..... fish ....keep in mind that saltwater fishes are costly...but at the end of it all yuh jus never end up regretting ah saltwater tank....
& oh maintanence.....it could be hard or easy depending on your passion for this hobby & laziness...but check FishyBiz niz aka Mr. Shiva on d forum...he will help yuh & advise yuh properly....

djblademan · Postby **djblademan** » March 10th, 2009, 9:06 pm

yeah i wish my tank could look like those on that website! mines joke compared to wats really out there....we here think we know aquascaping! well there's alot to learn out there!!!
yes Rebelb14 that is perfect for discus, anything perfect for tetras are basically the same as discus...to do ah set up like mine, is either sifted natrual river gravel the ones that are finest from the clean streams of the river, alot of plants of course, talent & layin out perfctly as in time & i mean time!!! like almost a day as in early in the morning to the late evening to get it perfect...& a couple of yrs for perfect growth & blooming of the plants!!!... the fishes could be added after 6 months or so, but put ah fighter or something normal for the while to keep away mosqitoes etc...

The Baras not all that bad at all. I would say that a local guabine would beat and eat the shite out of it.
But they are aggressive and attack dey prey once hungry.
Yuh does actually see the guppy print out on they stomach

Well I bought the Nano from Chais for I think $1500.
Which is a fairly decent price considering you getting a fully working setup for salt water.
The only thing you might have to buy extra would be a nano protein skimmer.

^ not bad... not bad atall...
i have not a clue what a protein skimmer is :lol:
