  • Inheriting my step dad's 55g saltwater tank

    Well after getting rid of almost all of my saltwater equipment, I find out that since they are moving Ill be getting his tank. I had some really nice stuff too, somewhat frustrating. Oh well free tanks are nice lol. Ill try to get a picture of it the way it sits now. He already knows I'm gonna be changing it up a bit. Now to try a piece my saltwater equipment back together.

    Cool, free aquarium setups are awesome!

      Probably changing substrate and filtering. He has a crushed coral/shell bottom, hob filters, and hob skimmer. Gonna go with sand substrate and a sump with skimmer and fuge. Might add some more rock too...

        You could go with a hob slimmer and hob fuge for the sake of saving space and money. Reef octopus has generally a good hob skimmer and I'm sure you can find someone with a CPR skimmer. Hob fuges can be bought off of aquatraders and they're actually just as good quality as cprs hob fuge.

          Sounds like a great plan. Any ideas on livestock? What's currently in being kept in there?

            Tomato clown, couple chromis, and a yellow tang. I probably won't get rid of any of his fish. Will add a ywg and pistol shrimp though...
