Hello,
I’m a new saltwater keeper. I’ve owned many successful planted freshwater aquariums in the past and after visiting a local reef store in town three months ago for some extra rock scape for my freshwater tanks, I fell in love.
I’m currently running three aquariums. I have 2 20 Gallon Long aquariums, both with AI Prime Reef 16HD, Fluval 207 Cannister filters, an MP10 each, and Aqueon Pro 100W heaters. I also just recently set up an IM Nuvo 15 - I’m running an AI Prime 16 freshwater on that right now as I plan to use macro algae in the display. The nuvo 15 is going to be a mantis shrimp tank.
If you have any recommendations, suggestions, harsh criticism, please let me hear it. I would love to grow and learn as a new salt keeper and I appreciate your time!
(If anyone could also let me know about the hair algae I’m currently experiencing on certain rocks, I would appreciate it. The rocks it’s growing in were purchased from a separate saltwater store in town - the only information provided to me when I bought them were that it was from a clients tank and they no longer cared for the pieces - so they are truly aged. They started growing hair algae(?) and slime on them).
Thank you
