Hey everyone! my names Collin, I will see if I can add that under my user name so you can just call me that. I currently have a 10 gallon fresh water tank with sadly only 2 fish in it... one is a pleco and the other is chiclid names Sasha lol. the tank had a few molly's in it but my bigger one sasha ate them, so now its just the pleco and her ( and I know its a her ) I have 2 beta fish as well. there just in small glash squares one on my dresser and one on my desk. Jack is a solid jet black beta which I waited for my friend to find for almost 6 months!!! well worth the wait! and my first fish and Betta is Barry-da beta he is mostly blue with black fins. I have a good friend who works at a local fish store and can always advice and help me. but I do like forums... so why not right?
anyways I recently decided that I wanted to try my luck at salt water... I dont seem to have issues keeping up the 10 gallon fresh water, but want to be able to have some different fish in the salt tank. I am sure I will have questions about salt mixes and food and what not a little later. here is what I was thinking:
14 gallon Bio-cube
yup that pretty much sums it up lol. I was told by a number of places that it would be a GREAT tank to start a salt water tank with. I would like some of the members on here to maybe clean the "rumors" up for me. I was told it would be great for coral... I wouldn't put a ton in... just kind of like the idea of live rock, and plants. also the lights on it have different settings and shades? the filter turns over 350+ gallons per hour and will cycle the tank more than the 11 times per hour that i need ( or so I was told) I like the idea of the biocube for a few reasons, its small and would work great in my limited space... and its all included right there, filter built right in and it looks great.
I know lots of you probably have huge tanks and will laugh at someone getting a 14 gallon tank... but keep in mind I have only had a fresh water tank for a year or so, and dont really have space for anything bigger... anyways thats all I can think of for now... if you have any questions for me fee free to ask. if you guys are like the guys on the truck forums I belong to your gonna want some pictures right? lol
as you can see I am pretty laid back and dont really let things bother me.. I am always up for a good joke even if it means making fun of me!
ok if you read all that... I AM SO SORRY!!! you just wasted your night!! lol
I will now be trying to figure out how to set up avatars and sigs and what not. so PM me if this forum has PM options... I really dont know
Looking forward to hearing what you all have to say!
