Maiden Foray in Saltwater - 1.5' Cube


Recommended Posts

Having been in freshwater all this while, this 1.5' FOWLR cube is my maiden foray into saltwater. The livestocks, with the exception of the angels, are introduced into the tank 4 weeks ago after a cycling period of 4 weeks. All comments are welcome.

I really like the bicolor angel. But never really had any luck with 1. Hope it stays healthy in your tank.
Yes, I find it attractive too, although the blue color is a bit dull now as it was just being introduced into the tank. In the process of training it to accept pellets.

Thanks for the comments. The wavemaker maker certainly helps to blow up the poo from the sand bed and get filtered off.
