After much deliberation and forum reading, I have decided - the sea will be mine! My application for the Rockscape Nano contest was not approved, so I went a different route. I found a used Aquael shrimp set aquarium (with a filter) for 50, peeled off the emblem, and used a knife to remove excess silicone along the seams. The aquarium has become much lighter! As for the contents: Salt: Tetra ine SeaSalt 2 kg - 105.35. (I grabbed it without looking, but later realized it would have been better to get the 4 kg package) Hang-on filter: SunSun HBL-501 II - 64.74. Water density meter: Aqua Medic Salimeter - 84.58. Inside the tube that held the meter, I found a piece of Chinese newspaper, which made me smile. The meter itself is quite delicate and requires very gentle handling! I'll get the Tetra plastic one instead. Lighting: Combined PL Lamp AquaTime 1x18W - 35 + 10 for the socket. I used the ballast from an old energy-saving lamp. Heater: Xilong XL-025, 25 W - 34.54. With the help of live rock (2 kg), live sand (2 kg), and live water (20 L), I received a bonus of 3 pulsing Xenia polyps, 1 discosoma, a group of snails, and a brittle sea star! Welcome me to the world of marine aquarium keeping, and I'll be glad to receive
