What about fish? I will definitely check out live plants .com

By far my favorite fish is my coral hawkfish named Moe so much personality like a dog

I might get a couple corals from em too. Shipping is costly 29$ for 2 items but it’s dirt cheap. 20$ for 40 zoa polyps

I could send you some macros and zoas

Many sites say it’s aggressive but it would be cool in a nano biotope

I don’t want to mess with donations and things, it made the thread get bad. Thanks for the offer though

 

[NoahLikesFish]

Any fish ideas besides the hawkish, I wanna have multiple fish in my tank because it might just be boring for my 1st reef tank to just have 1 fish inside. When I do get more tanks I’m def gonna go into species biotopes and picotopes

Moe was the only fish I had in the ten gallon but it has been in a tank with other fish and did just fine

Need to trim the macros and the zoas so the offer still stands if you change your mind

Will post a list of parts and prices for the 10 gallon macro tank tomorrow getting late

Ok, goodnight.

Anything but math and English becsuse they are useless classes after 5-6th grade unless you get a math job. Science teaches more useful math

English absolutely isn’t a useless class.

https://biogeodb.stri.si.edu/sftep/en/thefishes/species/1856 this guy is awesome. Could it work in my tank? It’s 15cm and dosent seem active

I’m not going to comment on whether or not it’d be appropriate for your tank, I don’t know enough about the species, but it comes from an area that straddles the line between tropical and temperate. The Sea of Cortez is in general warmer than the Pacific at that latitude and in the tropical range, but as soon as you get out to the Pacific coast the water is, at its warmest in the summer, like 72°. So depending on where the fish is collected it might not be appropriate for a typical reef aquarium.

I used to live in Puerto Vallarta, which is further south, and the water there was still cooler than what is considered tropical (though there are tons of tropical species on the reefs/shallows there, but then there were also more temperate species, too). Also lots of species come down from the north to breed, everything from humpback whales and orcas to whalesharks (saw one once while snorkeling at the Marieta Islands - crazy seeing something that big in 50 feet of water).

For less than 90 bucks you can get a macro tank started that includes tank filter heater light and sand. I would recommend buying live rock like you suggested before it will put you ahead of the curve

is the tall green thing a shaving brush? I love those but didn’t want to order one just to have it die
Also!!! Woohoo! This can get shipped here! https://www.saltybottomreefcompany.com/palm

I’ve been dying for the feathery looking caulerpa! Saw it in Louisiana when I went back home a few years ago and loved the look!

I love hawk fish! They’re such nosey things XD wish I could get one but I don’t think it would fit into any of my tanks unless my green spotted puffs wouldn’t bother it...

The shaving bush came in a pack was not hand selected I personally try to avoid caulerpa but just a personal preference

I think if your focus is fish then you should go with the biggest tank you can afford.

The evo is a decent starter tank but at the end of the day it’s still only so big and will limit you on fish.

My opinion is that the 20 or 40 is still better. Your name literally is NOAH LiKES FISH.

ofc fish will change your plan again but I see it changing like 100 more times anyways.

 

[NoahLikesFish]

It isn’t gonna change. I built the stand to fit a 13.5

One hundred percent agreed except for the English part, I like English but only for entertainment. Science is the most important class imo

But at the same time we don’t need to know how to do long division and crap that’s why we have phones and calculators

Unfortunately true. In my own industry I'd rather hire someone competent with CAD than able to do trig by hand and not know where the power button on a laptop is. As a guy who knows both ways to get the job done it hurts me to put tech over math but it's reality now. Knowing both makes you a powerful player in the game though, and allows you to quickly stink check for reasonableness.

And teachers always said you won’t always have a calculator with you...
