I've worked in the aquarium industry in a bunch of roles so take my advice fwiw. 1) Consider a protein skimmer. 2) Only top up with RO water,particularly if you have rays. 3) As others have suggested, some smaller scattered rock outcrops on the right side will make things look more natural. 4)A big school of Chromis or even better, some of the simpler Anthias species would look amazing. 5) Orphek's Amazonas LED pendants would light your tank perfectly.

Love it, and I agree, put a lid!!! Then you can fill the water to the top and it will look better, fish can’t jump out, and will keep parameters stable! Can’t wait to see the future of this pond - and channel.

Stocking ideas for this massive saltwater tank? A couple of triggerfish, a couple of parrot fish, a couple of angelfish, a big spiny lobster, a couple of big tridacna clams, a pink-footed sea cucumber, several cleaner wrasses, several cleaner shrimps lots of cerith snails, lost of scarlet hermit crabs, a big conch snail, lots of macroalgae and a bonnethead shark.

@javocob 2 ай бұрын

Wont the parrotfish just eat all the invertebrates?

@glub9075 23 күн бұрын

triggerfish and parrot fish will eat the clams ( also the clams need tonnes of calcium and high lighting) the sea cucumber, cleaner shrimp and hermit crabs. the bonnethead sharks get a metre long so too big. Also probably 1 cleaner wrasse because they need to eat constantly and they pick things off other fish which could stress the other fish out if they are constantly being picked at by tonnes of cleaner wrasses.

You should fill it up higher and add a ton of the bottles beneficial bacteria in the bottle to get that filter re seeded. When it sits everything died and is super toxic,need a few back washes and the BB to bring it back to life. First fish should be some Grunts or any cheap fish to cycle it. Then catch and release them. Looks great a couple big chunks from the place will be cool on the right,not the little pieces.

I would try to add some rocks onto the wall of the tank, more like a professional aquarium. While it might be more permanent might work well, could be some sort of cliff-like thing overhang which fish really like The sand does make it look quite a lot better too!

A big school of look Downs first. I would put a surface skimmer off of your intake line and make a pvc diy surface skimmer too. And that way you can set your height and you'll know where to set the sensor for ato. And for lighting just get four or five decent-sized Radeon lights and hang them above the pond spread out. You're going to want something with blue light for saltwater just to bring those colors out better in your fish. A lot saltwater fish have iridescence under blue light.. special your angels.

@isaachenshon7386 2 ай бұрын

You should add more rocks on the right side for sure.. and if possible build some kinda cave/rock system that blocks the view from the window of the flow system.. obviously dont block the pipes flow but like build the rocks in a way that u still have good flow but without having to stare at pvc pipe.

@marcelduchna2109 2 ай бұрын

i think it would be nice looking if you would add more stone structre to the back of the sturcure thats in so that it would be ab big cave. you could put little led spots in the cave with the corall glue. nature has al lot of cave. a lemon shark would be sleeping in a cave or under a cave legde :)

Hanging a light from the ceiling might be a little difficult due to the position of the garage door. Other than that I think it's looking great. Have you thought about exhaust fans for when the garage door is closed? The humidity level will be rather high and could lead to mold and mildew on the walls and ceiling. Great job guys! Looks amazing!

@ultimategamerkud7769 2 ай бұрын

Guuuyyyssss looks awesome! I can't wait to see it clear and full of life! The only thing I can think of is maybe you can find some sort of live plants for it? I'm sure after fish go in it'll be more vibrant but I feel like it needs some extra umph if that makes sense XD besides that looks awesome. If you decide to go for another rock structure on the right I think that'd look good too!

You should build a rock colom in the middle of the rock area. Also, you should make the outflow piping go side to side and then put Tpipes through it(T--T-+-T--T) and after put the tripe out holes on the Tpipes so it simulates waves you also now have the issue of the water distribution since it should make even as it can be in flow
