Diving deep as a 2 month beginner. Ato and awc on both tanks. Restarting both tanks from already established dirty tanks. New sand and dry blown up reef rock. No idea what I’m doing! Always been a hard learner! Maybe this is harder maybe not… but here’s to the journey! And trying to avoid the ugly stage! 😬

I started off with fresh water. I only went to saltwater because I was getting bored and it basically masted fresh. One thing freshwater did teach me was focus on your microflora and microfauna. Your ugly stage will literally just be a blip. You'll be gone before you know it

Started with a 40 fresh. It’s still going strong as filterless planted tank.

That's basically all my 60 gallon plant it is. I literally only have a a filter on it just to keep water moving. I have crayfish and they make a mess

I just have a little wave maker. Battled a big Algae bloom in the beginning but now it’s crystal clear and pretty awesome.

Might want to swap the pine/ spruce out for something like PVC. That wood's not going to last long with the salt and the water. It'll either rot or turn black
Interesting, good to know. Guess we’ll see. It’s cedar though🤷🏼♂️
If it's cedar it won't rot necessarily. It'll definitely turn gray over time and it's going to get very porous.
Well I guess I’ll have to do some digging on what will look good to replace with. 🤔
You should be able to do that with one whole sheet of PVC azec. 4x8x3/4. The nice thing is you can just sand it and wipe it down with acetone to reseal it. I mean if you want to go the expensive route you could do HDPE
Might go with some trex
I didn't even think of Trexs. That's actually perfect use of that. Well if you go that route I'd love to see it
