So ive been poking my head in every once in a while checking things out every once and a while on here but i must say i will be much more active once again!
here I am stable and feeling the urge again!! lol
Keeping it to 2 tanks which will be slowly being set up in the coming months!
I sold my 155 bowfront setup i had a little while ago so that will not be getting setup.
Im gunna keep it to 2 tanks! My room mate really was wanted to have a saltwater tank so with lots of help from me and hopefully some financial assistance on his part we will have a salt water tank up! Im also gunna be setting up my 125 gallon long that I had which is acting as a divider for the living room and the entry way! Its going to look BA! I will take pics sometime soon when im done doing some refinish work on the stand and fab work on the canopy..
Im trying to keep budget on the down low on the 125 gallon as most of the fish funds will be getting sucked into the saltwater tank.
With that in mind im not sure in what i should keep in the 125 gallon long! You will be able to see in from both sides of the tank and be able to look through it into the front room from the front door! So im not sure if a mbuna tank would be the best for that being there will be a big rock pile centered in the middle of the tank! Even tho having mbunas is what im gravitating to wanting to keep again and i have all the rock and substrate to keep them and would be saving money in that regards and yet i see myself spending alot more money in fish buying Mbunas to stock it unless i can get a good deal!
I was almost thinking a large community tank with flashy schooling fish! Like a hundred or so neon tetras with some corys and albino britlenoses and what not Maybe a nice strain of guppy and try planting it! I have a co2 tank, and I have a 800 watt fixture for light if i ever end up needing that much light!
The saltwater is going to be a small 3 foot wide twin 40 breeder stack with a sump hopefully if i can get a hold of the sump with similar dimensions! Im gonna build the stand.. It will be a 40B display Hopefully drilled and will dump into the 2nd 40B below it which will be a refugium and that will then dump into the sump and returned to the top! Looking at a vorteck for a circulation pump. Light will be a existing 250 watt de Hqi halide light that i have for the display tank!
Any ideas and suggestions for either setups would be great!
I will be posting a wanted listed sometime here soon!
Thanks guys!
