Fish Crazy
Heya,
you might have noticed a recent post of mine asking for information on shell dwellers. Reviewing all the options i have decided to go for it, as being 17 the lack of room and money to get a large tank stops me from getting anything else . I have decided to go for N. Mulitifacious (excuse my spelling).
So i got a tank, juwel rekord 60 approx 54 gal or 11-12 uk gallons
Being a juwel it came with all the usual stuff, i will keep the internal filter for now but look to replace it in the near future.
the tank itself is going to go on my desk, so i have something interesting to watch doing "revison" and work .
As you can see i havn't filled it with water yet, just checked for leeks and emptied it because my lfs only had huge bags of the 1mm coral sand that i want (will this be fine enough?) so i am going to go back in the morning and they will split a bag for me . And the shells are on order should be here next week some time. In the mean time i have put the large blue sponge into my rekord 120 filter, as it will be 2 weeks or so befor i can get the fish, so i can avoid cycling my tank by maturing the media in there .
Thanks for reading i will keep you posted!
