Well, it hasn't even been a couple of years and I started wanting some "exotic" stuff. Read the topic 'hitër bobra' and . Wanted a small sea for myself (50L, about 50x30xH40). Currently calculating the costs and expenses. By the way, for some reason, I didn't find a pinned topic... FOR BEGINNERS in your marine section, no FAQ either... 1. Are J.K. (live rocks) sold in this weather in Kyiv? Or are they transported from other cities? And who sells them anyway? 2. How many grams of Tetra salt, for example, are needed per liter of distillate? 3. Is a water change like in a freshwater tank, 20% once a week, enough? 4. As I understand, the equipment set for this volume is a heater, a hang-on filter, a pump for flow. No need for a compressor? 5. What power pump should I get? 6. Saw some more protein skimmers in the store... needed for 50L? 7. How many fish can be put in there? 3 small ones (5-7cm) possible?

Brandy

By the way, is it possible to later keep fish caught from the Black Sea in an aquarium?

Brandy1134

Damn, I created it in the wrong place... Could someone please move it to the general questions for sailors?

Offtopic In edit mode, copy the topic and move it to the appropriate section. In the unnecessary section - in edit mode of the topic - delete it. You have neighbors with extensive experience in aquaristics - im_я and Oleg_Shov - visit them, ask all your questions over tea and discuss.

Here is a link to one of the topics (Question???), regarding the launch of your volumes. Off-topic: The topic I linked to was fine until some random people derailed it, causing the thread starter to get lost in the woods, go into "nirvana," and, in my opinion, temporarily change their mind.

Russell8484

a good idea is commendable But try to master at least the basics of maritime affairs, and you'll understand everything, including the equipment Or just go to the neighbors for tea/beer/dancing

2) 33 grams per liter. 4) No need for a compressor. 5) 2x900l.h. It's better to choose some kind of hanging foam generator than a filter. Next week the temperature will be above zero, so find out who has live rocks and buy them. , , Airif, , Reefclub.

Lee

And who are they? And where is their base?

Gary6376

The head... two of 900 liters each - that's a storm in 50 liters.

Michelle5859

In my opinion, where there are 50 liters, it's better to go for 100 liters: 1. Stability of water parameters, as well as a reduction in the amount and frequency of water changes. 2. The possibility of a proper arrangement of decorations. 3. More diversity in terms of stocking with invertebrates and fish. At least 60*40*40 (length*width*height, with lamps being 55 cm), the financial expenditure won't be much higher. The sea is a "swamp" that draws you in, and seeing the variety of tropical creatures and corals makes you want to fit in the unfit.

Kyiv, 37a Kudri Street. By the way, it's great for Kyiv residents; they have promotions until April, and they can buy vouchers for 5 and 10, the main thing is to print and fill out a coupon like this.

Oppa... the antivirus identifies the Trojan. Maybe it's just a false positive? After all, it's Friday.

David7773

for 5 and 10 dollars, not... otherwise everyone will rush in now)))

Gregory9432

I have the same antivirus, it reacts the same way. But they say everything is fine. By the way, there’s nothing to see on this site yet... I understand this is some kind of symbiosis of the former?

Curtis9143

This is Tkachev's company. After Valera Arelav joined, the company began to reorganize. For the better. They started holding various competitions. The latest one is a competition for marine nano-aquascaping. Contestants are provided with free materials, including Aquaeel aquariums and lighting, and decent prizes for the top three winners. The competition is held on a parallel forum. The link leads to a site that is not Tkachev's, but reworked by Valera.

Jason5071

Off-topic, thanks for the link, to be honest, I forgot about Rey. I bought the long-awaited Helmonthrostus and an algae-eating dog today. The prices were pleasing, but the Zebrasoma is very aggressive towards the Helmon.

Monica

I am basically launching a 250-liter herb tank at the same time, and I only wanted a small sea tank because of the high cost of equipment and salt for water changes. I am not really limited in size. I also have an existing 70-80 liter tank.

Angel628

1. I wouldn't make such a volume of SAMPS. 2. We need to decide on the length. How can you ask about lamps with a length of 85 cm if the expected length of the aquarium is 80 cm??? As for all the other points, an answer can be given when the final size and volume of the aquarium are known. Our specialist for starting with live rocks and substrate from the Black Sea is - , please contact him.

Jason5071

Do you have severe power outages in Kyiv or a chronic non-payer? If this is the case, then an uninterruptible power supply is needed. And having a heteromorph in the aquarium, with the presence of daylight, will yield results.

Daniel4967

1. I want it to look nice. 2. I think I should choose the size of the lamps first, and adding 5 cm to the aquarium is not a problem. The wattage is advantageous; I will have to get a lot for 24k. By the way, if the aquarium is 160 liters and the sump is 40, for a wattage ratio of 1:1, should I consider 160 or 200?

Denise

I live in a private house (Red Khutor near Kharkivskaya metro station, for those who know), and in winter, we often have power outages. Just the day before yesterday, it went out at 7 PM and only came back on the next day at 2 PM. Luckily, I have an inverter and took a battery from the car, so I turned on the compressor. But if there is a pump up to 50 watts and heating of 150 watts, that’s already 200 watts. In principle, it can handle it, but for how long? The battery is 60 Ah. So, if in an emergency situation I turn on the heating/circulation, will everything be okay?

Breanna9982

The refractometer was confused with the refugium =)

Ryan2281

But what if you're not home? Who will turn on the battery? If the electricity goes out for 15 minutes, it's not a big deal, but if it's for 2-3 hours or more, then at least there should be a flow of air...

Teresa

In my opinion, you should think more about cooling for the summer than about a heater, as the water will be warmed by the lights and equipment. I have 25 degrees at night and 26 during the day. So, I meant to say that if the lights go out, it's better to connect a flow than a heater. Algae can be on live rock, or you can ask the stone seller about them.

Mitchell3177

Relle NR. The light went out, the inverter turned on. Once again, I live in a private house, the heating is energy-dependent. No electricity means no heating, but the house is well insulated; the temperature drops by 2-3 degrees in a day at -20. In summer, the temperature does not rise above 25. Without air conditioning. So a cooler is not needed either.

Alicia5489

Well, then you will see for yourself later that there is no need to use the heater; all the other processes are more important.

Wendy8540

Exactly until April? The ticket states that it's valid until 18.02.
