New Setup

[ydnim]

Hey guys!

So I am new here... but I have been actively fish keeping for quite a few years until I had to take a break when I moved. I just recently bought a 60 gallon tank (48" x 12" x 24") and have pretty much completed the setup. I am expecting my little friends to arrive sometime this week I've done a lot of research on the best filters and air pumps to use for maximum quality and still be somewhat quite, and I came across these underwater navy sea mine decor that I am absolutely in love with! I bought the last three I could find on Amazon, but if anyone knows of another place or has any they are willing to sell, PLEASE let me know!

Thanks!

Welcome to MFK.
Interesting choice.
Could look pretty cool. What type fish do you keep?

Welcome!
Those would be fun in a silly tank......
Oh not saying your tank is silly. I just try to go for more natural styles. Some people on here would look at my setups and say natural you've got a blah blah with a whatamajig that's about as far from natural as clown puke gravel.

Just check that some prankster hasn't armed them! If you get a live one it might get a bit messy!

I have a few African Cichlids on their way this week. I will post my entire setup and what fish I have coming in a few days or so

I understand, I have had so many "natural" looking tanks in the past that I wanted to do something different and I was never able to afford the big ship wreck looks in the past. I'm actually really happy with how it turned out I'll post pictures in a later post!

I've always wanted to do a fake decorations tank other then bones and skulls(did that). Maybe I'll save up for a sunken battleship and a few of those mines and throw a couple of my petricolas and a ropefish in there! It'll look like sharks and a giant eel.

That sounds awesome! You could even do a Knife Fish tank with those decorations -- that would be sick! I want to set up another tank already lol3 I was thinking a Spongebob theme for my nephew with maybe crawfish or goldfish to keep it simple. I'm going to be posting a thread right now with my whole setup
