MY 75gallon brackish-fish home.... PICS.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks everyone for all the comments. To answer some questions, I have a 130watt Coralife light and a 40watt acintic blue light turned on. I feared as much about destroying my plants with too much salt, and i was wondering, Miles - how much salt can a BGK tolerate on average?

It would look excellent, but it looks like you've got a good thing going....dont change it unless you want to. Either way would look fantastic

Well the Apternotus family is found in the amazon, which would mean they come from fairly soft water.. They may be adaptive, but a long term housing in these type of water conditions could be detrimentral. I recently inhrereted a 13" ghost knife, which is almost 9 years of age.. It has never been exposed to salt, so this might be an indication of a satisfying long-term environment.

I think you should set-up a secondary tank for soft-water fish, and that would open up some space in your brackish tank.. I would reccomend some type of gobies or maybe orange chromides, but you will have also have alot of options...
 
Beautiful setup bro, very well done. If you have a long piece of driftwood have it hanging out the tank and put insects on the tip to see your Archer shoot them down.
