Well Nick.. I started this tank for one reason. It is one of those things that everyone always said was too difficult to do. I figured I'd try it, and only then would I really know if that was true or not. Believe me when I tell you this, It is so much easier to maintain than all of the countless freshwater set ups that I have had over the years. once in a while i bring a couple of buckets of water home with me from fishing or whatever. i switch out some water. the filters are so cheap to buy online these days. i have two on there. a power head to give the fish some current an undergravel filter plate ( like six bucks) basically just to hold up the power head. then an air pump and an air stone. i got everything else from the estuary. i do not like freshwater tanks much. maybe I am just bored with them. i have silversides in mine and shrimp and mummis and all kinds of crabs and sheepshead minnows ( they are so territorial they bully every other creature in the tank those two!) and striped killi fish. I put a little striper in there for a couple of days, he ate every last living thing in that tank then my son and I let him go. we had to trap all new bait. i think i have a couple of anchovies too, but i thought they were silver sides. they are all doing very well, i have not lost one fish ( since we took jaws back to the river) i feed them two different foods i bought online one is all vegetable and one all seafood. they go crazy for both. it has been a great learning experience for me and for my crew. here are a few new pics have no fears. it is fun and it is easy. |
