Hello everyone! I recently decided to set up a marine aquarium. I glued the aquarium, bought a hang-on filter for now, salt, and salted it.3.5 kg of stones. So far, everything seems to be going well. It

Can you tell me more about your aquarium, what salt you use, what equipment you have, what you filled the filter with, how often you do water changes, etc.? P.S. And please post some photos.

Steven7574

Yes, it's interesting to look at the photo.

The system is simple, one Coraline for 900 liters per hour. I don't remember the cheap salt. The stones seem to be normal and porous. The filter has carbon and a sponge. I change the carbon every two weeks. The water is osmosis, with a 5-liter replacement every week. The temperature is 25-26 degrees.

I live in Lviv and miss the sea. I'm looking for a cheap used inflatable. I can't upload photos.

Cynthia

Congratulations on the beginning of a great journey! Do you have any pets in the aquarium? 50 liters is a size where you can comfortably live without a skimmer. A 10-liter water change every 2 weeks (it might be more often at first) is not that much more stressful than dealing with a skimmer. The frequency of water changes is not a one-time factor; it depends on many reasons. Sometimes you can go 3 weeks without a change, and sometimes in emergency situations, you may need to change it every day for 2-3 days in a row.

I don't remember the cheap salt. It's bad that it's cheap, and the fact that you don't remember the name is serious; you need to approach this issue more carefully, especially in such a small aquarium. In the filter, there is carbon and a sponge. Change the carbon every two weeks - remove the sponge; if the water is cloudy due to sand, it can be used, but not more than that. Don't change the carbon that often; once a month is fine. Also, don't use cheap ones, as they release phosphates. Good ones are Eheim and Aquamedic. P.S. Congratulations on the setup!

Hello everyone and thank you for the kind words. I buy salt for 35 rubles per kilogram. There are strobilus, but two have died.

Rita

The seas live, not so tightly.

Matthew7977

Hello everyone. Today I bought a puppy. I can't take a photo yet because it's constantly sitting behind the stones; dogs usually swim. Where in Lviv can I buy corals?

John

As for me, it's better to order here on the forum. But I'll write about Lviv interestingly.

Jacob4800

Hello!

Frank7213

Where did you buy the puppy?

Deborah2682

I bought the puppy from Nazar, and he helped me. But for some reason, she doesn't eat anything.

Susan1358

I also have Artemiy, who hasn't eaten for three days now, and I've been spraying him near the nose, but he shows no interest...

John828

I bought a response that I hadn't seen to eat grass from stones, and I bought it 6 days ago.

Vanessa6144

The puppy died last night.

Marie5735

It's a pity for the little dog. After the launch, I added my first fish three months later; the first was a zebrasoma scopas. I started with soft corals, and after three weeks of salting, I added a seriatope, which is still alive and even has growth points now. It was salted on 10.02.11. I'm a sailor, of course, without experience, but it seems to me that it was still too early to add fish.

Jerry

The dog needs a large food base. A lot of live rocks with growths. I think it died from hunger.

Barbara

It's a pity that Nazar didn't warn that the dog would have to be sent to the toilet with a 90% probability. Who puts such animals in such fresh water??? I would understand if it were Ocelaris... but a dog...

Courtney4094

I added the little dog three weeks after the setup, with 80 kg of live rock in the system, and it is still happily living. It's not about the freshness of the aquarium, but rather the availability of a food base; the little dog itself is quite an undemanding creature.

Jamie3553

Well, I compared 80 kg and 3 kg. Your liters and liters of top starter! I would take it for myself, but I'm not sure that half a year would be enough food for the dog... although there are quite a few stones, and 120 liters... P.S. Over time, it would survive even in a small aquarium, once it got populated...

Joshua

The guys wrote it correctly. You were a bit hasty with the Strombus (they should be introduced when the lower species start to appear on the sand, and even then, you should wait a week or two). As for the little dog, when there are growths in the form of filamentous algae on the rocks and enough food available, it survives; when all of this ends, it dies, and neither Artemia nor other feeds will save it, this has been tested.

Sara

I completely disagree - eating dry food, a bit of overgrowth. By the way, the fox and the scops are such slackers. As for the overgrowth... I clean and siphon.

Todd8452

Pivit! The aquarium has also started with small corals and strobilus for half a year. The dog hasn't eaten anything since the first day; it was swimming around, and there is grass on the rocks. I also gave various dry and frozen food, but I didn't keep an eye on it.

Jill1815

Are the photos posted above recent??? Or does he look like this now?

Chad

I disagree with you, and what do the fox and the scops owl have to do with it? Comparisons with Salarias fasciatus (the diamond goby) are inappropriate; this fish is not suitable for a two-week mini aquarium, and the fact that it eats dry food is just one out of ten and does not indicate that it will be the same for everyone.

Ryan1989

In most cases, dogs lose weight and then die from a lack of necessary food sources. The cases mentioned also occur, but they are more of an exception than a rule. Moreover, one should not forget that the fish may have come poisoned; in this case, the lack of attention to the food is quite understandable.

Jeffrey496

I only mentioned my blenny. The fox and the scopus - well, they also seem to be algae eaters, but they live almost without natural food. I was only referring to nutrition, not volume or anything else.

Laura3615

Today, there was a bit of a film on the sand. I think it's because the dead fish were lying around all night.

Rachel9060

In a week and a half, they promised clowns to the striped one, and now I don't know what to do.

Theresa5149

Give it to someone, let them keep it in a stable system. It's quite a big risk!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't rush! Throw in coal, just try to find quality.

Caitlin3279

Change 10 liters today/tomorrow, then see. Clowns can generally be seated, but a zebra definitely shouldn't at your 50.

Sara4035

Well, you can try the clowns, but the zebrasoma will be very cramped, better not to plant them.

Stefanie9771

Hello everyone! I recently changed the filter on the foam maker, the beauty improved, the water became clearer, although it still produces light wet foam.

Rick

New residents have also arrived...

James5103

Hello everyone! Today, new inhabitants have intensified: two clowns, Willy and Millie. They eat well and swim only in one place. I think there is something obstructing them there, and it makes them less prone to being blown away.

Laura3615

They will spend a lot of time in that corner or any other - very engagingly and, most importantly, usefully.

Jason

Right here.

Tina

Good day to everyone. I found some time and bought two new inhabitants, a Montipora and a Hitriks.

Katie5500

And also another fish for ZEBROSA, which was immediately given to the instigator Ellie...

Amy

The zebra will feel cramped... you risk putting a fish down...

Karen2578

The zebra, although not large in the photo, won't be comfortable in 50 liters. I once put a scopus in a res tank for a couple of days, and it stopped eating right away after a day and then died. Although it was probably poisoned.

Ross

Montipora is a very hardy and beautiful coral. Under blue lights, it appears a velvety red. If I hadn't received it as a gift, I wouldn't have dared to keep it, but it is the most resilient. And it grows! It can live on the bottom, but it's better to place it higher for better growth. It doesn't require strong currents.

Scott9892

And how about the tests?

Charles4157

The tests were normal until recently, I don't have tests for magnesium, I add the supplement by eye. I will do the tests on Tuesday, and we will see then... They also suggest a hermit, I don't know what to do, they say it might be harmful...
