@The_ONE Dude thats a really nice aquarium, I've always wanted to own a salt water [ If its called that ] tank.
Get one, very rewarding and stressful at the same time, mainly because of load shedding, we are sitting without electricity since 8pm last night.

I cannot manage to run a full reef tank with nicer corals and such with no power.
 
I too, used to own a nice tropical tank. I had a breeding pair of angels that dropped eggs like Malema drops racial controversies.

Then I had kids. Now I no longer own an aquarium. I'll definitely get one again in the future. A marine tank has always been my dream, but I know of all the issues of keeping it perfectly stable, so not now.

Just do it now bru, it'll be a project for you and the kids.

Fish only tank is actually a lot easier than a full reef tank, very similar to how would keep tropical fresh water fish. When you start keeping coral it gets hectic.

Please post pics of your previous aquarium, I like seeing how others manage to scape their tanks.

I might or might not have provided the fish in my father's aquarium with enough food to do themselves in as a kid.
 
Very nice, love the plants. You good at scaping. Looks very nice bud

Thanks man! Allot of watching MD fishtanks over the years and trial and error between going the cheap and nasty root on old tanks up to the point where I now have a proper nutrient base layer and liquid co2 dosing for the plants.

A marine tank is definitely on the cards down the line when I have the space for a decent 3-4ft 😅

You don't need a TV man, put the tank there. LOL

Ahhh marine tank and kids dont mix...speak from personal experience here...had a nice 1mx1m cube marine tank with a mix of soft and hard corals and some fishies....kiddo decided she wanted to feed the fish and clean the tank one day while i was at work and came home to find the entire buk of foon in the tank and all the supplement bottles emptied into the tank....suffice to say nothing survived....

Tried again a couple of years later but when load shedding killed everything off i left the tank and everything to my brother...will post a pic of his current setup later when i go...
 
This is one tank that inspires me, hopefully will get there when I sort out some solar
This tank is in Gauteng BTW

I had a mate in kempton park who converted his garage into a marine tank. Literally had a catwalk over top and would need a scuba suit to clean it basically, was wild. Haven't seen him in years but I'm assuming there is just no way that is still feasible with loadshedding

I must say, I've been lucky with my kids, they only went to the tank when I was around :)
 
I dig that first marine tank, your brackish tank looks like you have been spoiling them with bloodworm I'm assuming?

Nice setup
LOL, no brackish tank, which one are you assuming is brackish? The scat is in with normal marine fish.

The small marine tank are the bigger one are linked by one sump, the smaller tank holds my smaller fish that my eels in the bigger tank would eat.
