Can someone help me gather this if there's a desire?

Zachary

Well, look, the amount isn't big, but it's still a hassle to deal with the same money. I agree, I'm zero at this, but it's still a thing. It means I will learn; I want to have a hobby to have something to do (home, work, work, home) – I'm tired of it.

Rebecca

Senya! Don't pay attention to those very knowledgeable people! Unfortunately, I can't help you with anything, but "persistence and hard work will overcome everything"! The main thing is desire! Good luck!

Ronald

The left posts have been removed, and the topic has been moved to the appropriate section.

Jeremy

I do not recommend getting into a marine aquarium, especially since my knowledge in this area is almost zero! You need to study the topic and assess your capabilities, both financial and time-wise! A marine aquarium requires a huge amount of both! I have been doing this for almost 5 years, and I am far from being a PRO!!!

Brandon

Sorry, I understand everything perfectly. Well, look, we take an aquarium, let's say 60-100, then a filter, then sand and live rocks, water, salt, tests, and something else. We can start it up and so on, as I understand it.

Monica

Senya, go to the website of any online store and check the prices for tests. Then look at the prices for marine tests. After that, check the frequency of their use (and it doesn't matter if you have money to buy them or not - the aquarium won't wait). Then reread many posts in the "Sea" section - to be honest, I don't even go there (it's not my profile). Imagine for yourself how much time it will take to maintain the tank... and by the way, you didn't seriously decide to add Black Sea water, did you? And then, hand on heart, tell me - won't you feel sorry for the fish that perish and the money thrown into the sea?

Rachel

I only support you, but it seems to come too easily for you! I'm afraid you might get burned! The sea does not tolerate haste, and it will quickly make you understand that! And live rock is 20% of the volume, which means 20 kg per 100 liters = 400 s. I wish you good luck!!!

Justin

20kg is cool, but you can do without it. "Sea men," when you started, many probably told you, "quit, it's difficult and expensive." Decided to launch the sea - go ahead and launch it.

Robert

I don't mind - go to Odessa, bring a jar for Senya... and I assume you'll also be handling the service? The best way out of any situation is practical action. It was pretty much the same in the "Polypterus vs. Tetraodon" situation in the "Fish" section... as soon as it was suggested to implement it in practice (with photo and video recording), everything just stalled.

James

I would go for the experiment if someone is really ready to support me in starting it, and I can make descriptions and post photos every day. It won't be a burden for me. I'm in, so let's discuss the action plan.

Derek

What equipment is already available? Water, salt, soil to start with.

Jose

decide exactly on the location 1-aquarium 2-cabinet (considering the placement of the filter) let's have the dimensions

Mark

We can do 100-40-40 or 90-40-40. Maybe you can suggest something, there are some parameters. This is something like that.

Joshua

The article linked is quite good and generally correct. You take an aquarium, salt the water, and add live rocks. After about 1-2-3 months, when ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates drop, you start gradually stocking it with living creatures, and during the time before the first planting, you'll figure out what and how to plant and what they need for that. It would be good for your place or

Joseph

don't even think about waiting 2-3 months. Adding bacteria for 2 weeks and the first beast is ahead.

Ricky

Stop, guys, I've decided to do everything right. 1 aquarium, size I suggest 50*50*60 height. If you have other options, suggest them. Now let's think about the lighting or suggest something, or whatever comes next; we are still far from bacteria and stones.

Stephen

By the way, Senya, you have the Black Sea right next to you - you could set up a Black Sea aquarium! There's a topic about this on the forum!! And you don't need to salt anything, just fill it with water and take it home!

James

Correction...

Cindy

I have heard a lot about substitutions right from the sea. However, it was not the Black Sea near Odessa, but the Red Sea near Israel.

Karen

Set up the sump, lighting, and skimmer. This is what I would gather for the start. The sump should be installed right away; it's difficult to add it to the system later, and it's very inconvenient without it. Use MH lighting; I really like it, but a height of 60 cm will make it hard to illuminate with LED. However, I can't say anything bad about T5. There is a supplier in Odessa from whom I got the light fixture; it's a bit pricey, but it's worth it. By the way, he also has skimmers. Tkach makes decent skimmers. Arowana should have a shipment soon; a lot of interesting things are expected to arrive. You set up the aquarium, sump, lighting, a few pumps for flow, and then you can start salting the water.

Colin

Guys, is everyone okay with the aquarium size or not? Let's discuss if something is wrong to avoid problems later. There was a suggestion to use a Chinese spotlight; there are other options, so feel free to suggest. I contacted Lygin; Odessa is a small village. Let's sort out the aquarium; if everyone is satisfied with the size, we can move on. Should I place the order or not?

Diana

If these sizes suit you, then go ahead. The larger, the easier it is to maintain stability. Write the dimensions, and I'll help with the aquarium at a 30% discount from the price for the forum.

Yolanda

Thank you for your attention, look, people are offering 60*60*60.

Omar

Based on the forum mentioned below, I have decided on the dimensions 60*50*60. What can you offer?

James

On March 8, the price is 510.00, but since it's March 8, there's a 50% discount, making it 256.00.

Rodney

Seryozha, what else can I suggest to you? Have you decided on the sizes? You know which pen to take (Tkach will modify it for you later), get a return pump and go ahead. When you gather all the equipment and plan the sump, you can choose the sizes of the compartments to fit the equipment at least. Do everything step by step; it's hard to understand everything at once. People are advising you on what to do so you don't make mistakes.

Alicia

Sorry, can I ask if there is anything else I can get for International Women's Day at discounted prices, and if it's in Kyiv, maybe it's easier for me to pick it up in Odessa? You know about this, aquarium + sample + cabinet + everything else = total. I came and picked up 0.5 - 0.7 of the bottle for you, how is it going?

Nicole

Excuse me, who is Tkach and where can I find him? What pumps should I get in my size so I don't have to change them later? I think I should get the samp right away.

Shelby

Dear Senya! Well, at least do some digging on the internet yourself sometimes! It's great to pretend to be blind and live quietly with everyone's support. But it's even hard to read you! Personally, I don't understand half of it... There is more than enough information about the sea and the methods of its "construction." Read up, draw your own conclusions, and then it will be enough to have one person with whom you can discuss all your questions in five minutes. Good luck.

Leah

Talk to the person and he will explain everything to you, I learned a lot of useful things from him.

Andrew

For the price of the sample, a drawing and the thickness of the glass are needed.

Alan

And when we sort out the equipment and definitively decide on ALL the dimensions, I will make the drawing. For the sump, it can be 6, and for the aquarium, 8-10.

Joyce

Don't complicate things, or people will lose interest.

Adrienne

If we don't complicate things and don't overthink, people will lose something else... If there is even one unnecessary point in the above, then just say so... by the way, this is only the minimal part of the TIP OF THE ICEBERG...

Jason

In general.... SENYA!!! You need to read some books... it's easier than this bland stuff... start with it.... the sea is more complicated - you'll have to read quite a bit... if you're planning to do it "off the cuff" - you can do it, no problem. But excuse my bluntness - you'll look at the aquarium like a sheep at new gates. And if something dies on you - it will be like "AQUA RESCUE SERVICE - HELP!!!!!!!!!!" for you. P/S: First of all - KNOWLEDGE, and then practice. And knowledge is expensive....

Thomas

Strictly But Fairly Ready to read, what do you suggest? I am already downloading the book "Coral Reef," what else can I read and watch (as a matter of principle, I will go for it)? I will try not to bother you with silly questions anymore, only on the subject. I already know what a drainage well is, and now I am studying the sample.

Gary

:-))))))) The reef is definitely coral! I sent the link to the books in a private message, otherwise, I'll get criticized here for promoting pirate resources.

Melissa

Could you please send me the link to the books?

Jeffrey

I am starting to crack down on the distribution of pirated products. Not long ago, the practice of banning those who engage in it emerged.

John

Sorry, the flight attendant suggests naming the topic like this. Please help create a sea for Nemo. Can it be renamed if it's not too much trouble?

Chad

Here is the link to the pen. It's also an option.

Nicole

Write to me. I will give you the links I have already found.

Andrew

we can chat... I set everything up for myself too

Gary

The Russians rejected this proposal and still insist on this option. They suggest as a last resort.

Adam

Not a bad pen, I have one like that.

Luis

The Russians rejected this proposal and still insist on this option. They suggest this option as a last resort, but say it will take up a lot of space in the sample. If it's not too much trouble, could you comment on this matter on this site?

Alec

The Russians rejected this proposal and still insist on this option. They suggest this option as a last resort, but say it will take up a lot of space in the sample. If it's not too much trouble, could you comment on this matter on this site?

Ryan

Sorry, which one do you have, and I'm glad you finally responded too, (like with the delivery to Odessa)

Stephanie

who knows where it can be purchased

Whitney

navid - a knowledgeable expert... oh - it would be interesting to see in action...

Darrell

You made the advertisement and did it for yourself, but you should think about your behavior, as well as consider the development of this topic.

Luis

I am very grateful to you. If something is wrong, I apologize; I didn't mean any harm, just acted out of desperation. Yes, the topic has reached a dead end; you are right, it's my mistake, and I've made many of them already, but there's no one to correct them; all they can do is poke fun and humiliate.

Jeffery

Start by reading useful books and exploring the Internet, and then ask well-formulated questions.

Michelle

Sorry if I haven't bored you yet, but what would you, with your vast experience, personally recommend I read as a newbie in the field? And still, what should I do about the couplings and the pipe? Also, please suggest something regarding the insulation.

Kevin

I cry... a truly maritime expression: "newbies at sea" 5 points!

Angel

Let's avoid the flame!

Jeremy

Yes, the moderator seems to be in a bad mood today. They will be banning. Instant Ocean gets good reviews for salt, you can contact them at +8-044-5692552, and they seem to ship by train. Ask Tkach about the fittings; he got a pass-through fitting, tees, elbows, and PVC pipe from him. I calculated the diameter of the drain with a margin, considering the potential buildup inside the pipe. P.S. Calculate the volume of passing water as 3-5 times the volume of the aquarium.

Noah

From Senya I read and cry I haven't laughed like this in a long time Author, write more. The moderator has angelic patience. Respect.

Kathleen

Senya But that's 250 bucks. It goes beyond your budget. And if you don't mind spending 300 bucks, I can get you something even better than this.

Stacey

Here I dropped a link about algae, and there is a 50 liter nano reef seawater aquarium in 60 x 30 x 30 cm. It might be useful.

Karen

Igor, if possible, please send photos of your couplings and all the other plastic parts. I found something like this.

Maria

I found the fittings, but I don't know if they are the right ones. I have a question about the pins: as far as I understand, this is the most important part of the entire system, and I don't want to buy cheap ones. What else is available on our market, and where can I look, or do people just buy everything from one place and then modify it? Do we have such options or not? (Regarding the answers, you need it or don't worry, the author writes that he won't respond yet.) With sincere respect to you (seamen), Sergey.

Jessica

Come in, we will show and tell you everything clearly (it will be easier to move on). We make five types of what we call "Mini Nemo."

Katherine

Today I met with a representative. We talked about salt tests and much more. Basically, I am ready to start; I am beginning to glue the Aqua and purchase equipment.

Dennis

Can I have your contacts in private messages?

Luis

one solution to the problem is behind

Rodney

I wanted to clarify which tests to take for Red Sea and JBL.

Ryan

Take Red Sea.

David

You can also do it publicly, they are in message 67.

Aaron

I made the cabinet, let's move on.

Jennifer

Senya is a handsome guy, no doubt about it.

Dana

Does anyone from Kyiv happen to know where he has been? There has been no contact for a month.

Cheyenne

At the exhibition, there was

Emily

Senya, what's new? Did you pick up the Aquas?

Michael

Guys, don't think that I slacked off; it's just that there's no aquarium. I ordered it from Igor in Kyiv, everything was fine, but now it's been a month without any contact with him. I just don't know what to do—should I wait for him to show up or take some action? It wouldn't be fair if I order from somewhere else and he suddenly appears. What should I do?

Vincent

That's how it always is... "If I had known, I would have lived in Sochi."

Katherine

Fedor, you can't think like that; everything happens in life, maybe something happened. There was a person, and now there is no person. Everything that happens is for the best. I also reached out to Pavlik, but the delivery issue from Kyiv is simpler. The thing is, before the wires, we talked, the aquarium was ready, but I don't know what happened after the wires. I'll wait for some more time; maybe something will come up.

Amy

He has your phone, right? You can also write in private on the forum. Yes, we talked on the phone, Pavlik also told me about the issues with transportation from Kyiv, it's easier. Okay, we'll figure it out. I will definitely launch it, that's the kind of person I am; if I said something, I will do it. It's a matter of principle.

Amy

we will help as much as we can

John

I just got a penny pump and sand.

James

Hello everyone, well, the start is finally here.

Rachel

The livestock surged as if on yeast.

Megan

Senya is doing great, an unexpected development and launch of the sea. Considering how it all started with the freshwater aquarium, it's just amazing, WELL DONE!!!

Jesse

Welcome to the "sea maniacs" squad.

Kristin

Stubborn person Senya. Despite all the earlier attacks and jabs at him, he almost achieved his goal. If only we had more stubborn people in our aquaristics, we would outshine Europe. Senya, everything bad I wrote about you - I take it back and apologize.

Danielle

Today I launched the first fish.

Matthew

that's how things are going for me with the sea

Dana

Hello everyone, please advise what is the right thing to buy for the aquarium to make everything correct and beautiful. Post 212.

Laurie

Hello Senya! I read all your adventures and I'm very happy for you that everything worked out! I also got interested in marine aquariums, but for now, I'm just studying the theory and other people's experiences. If possible, please share your contact information so I can reach out if I have questions, maybe you could give some advice and we could chat. As you know, marine enthusiasts are not easy to open up. Take a piece of advice from a beginner - for aiptasia, buy a peppermint shrimp, they feed on it, are very beautiful, and adapt well. If I'm mistaken, I would appreciate corrections from experienced people. Thank you. Best regards, Vasily.

Zachary

And please write to me.

Diana

Helmon is not such an easy fish to keep. It still needs to be fattened up, and the water quality must be appropriate. Not everyone can get it to eat aiptasia. It's almost a 50-50 chance.

Joseph

I agree with them and can also add that Helmon will start eating the polyps of hard corals faster than aiptasia.
