Hello, just sharing my marine tank. It's an office tank that my parents so I can't really control the stocking but ohwell... It's nicknamed the Tang tank because we have super a lot of Tangs! (coincidently Tang is my surname :rolleyes:)

The tank itself is approximately half a year old.

Enjoy!

Looks good! That's quite a stocklist though, so you got to take note of the bio load. Do get your dad involved and interested in researching these fishes, so that he will understand their needs and do his best to meet them.

Yep, but during the week I do my own maintenance whenever there. Top up water, test parameters, dose additives, etc.

Gonna cut down on maintenance soon though, tank maturing nicely.

Nice tank!!!

Can i know who set the tank up for u?

Iwarna. IMO they did a pretty good job, just that you might want to consider switching the lighting after awhile as the ones they provide are a bit dim and tend to overheat. I changed mine to LumenAqua LED.

Also, biofiltration might be an issue if you end up stocking the tank this heavily. I added Seachem matrix and those bio-home tubes (Dymax brand) this week. Might get some rowaphos to treat the algae... But for now, I am dirt broke.

ANYWAY, a Lobo and an Elegance were added recently.. though the elegance tentacles are like.. short and fat. Not long and flowing...

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
