250 tank and 250 air

Givin' it another try...

Tommy, sounds actually quite fast for an acclimation. Not that I have an idea, just sounds pretty fast that I could acclimate a fish from FW to my 1.008 in just four days. But it's comforting that it's not more complicated than that.

sweet setup, makes me a bit jealous as well.

Hi, thanks.
Yes, there will be watering in the back wall. But I think I will have to do it separately from the tank's water, 'cause not many airplants will tolerate salt. As I wrote before, there is a collection sump sort of thing in the upper stonewall, so making a separate FW circulation is the target.

I've actually got a "professional" misting system with a 10 bar pump and close to ten nozzles out of use somewhere. I just got tired of trying to keep the nozzles clean and working. It should be used with RO water, I guess.

Misting would be cool. It would be radical to make an automatic water-leveling system that would replace evaporating water by misting... Gotta look into that.

Thanks, you are inspiring me.

Got a pic of the eel?

Not much of a pic but anyways...

Very cool!! I don't know anyone else that has one. Is it aggressive toward any of your other fish?

 

[HX67]

No, not aggressive at all, actually. It doesn't seem to have too good eyesight and hunts solely by it's smell. There's a couple of bumblebee gobies in the tank (like an inch long) and it hasn't bothered even them...

WOW THATS ONE OF THE COOLEST TANK I HAVE SEEN.....GOOD WORK!!!

I agree That is awesome!

Are those snails in that pic of the eel?

 

[HX67]

Yes, they are. It's a species of swamp cerith, possibly Melanoides tuberculata.
They stay in the fine sand for most of the day, but come out in the at night and/or to feed.
They stir the sand quite well. I'm surprised that they survive and breed like bunnies in brackish water.

Thanks, A.

Your setup is like one of those where's waldo pictures. You see something new everytime you look at it. I haven't spotted the gobies yet. Awesome. Where did you get those snails?
