New Phriend Here on R2R

Phish555 · Jun 21, 2021

Hey everyone,

I'm brand new here. I finally moved into my own apartment and now I can finally have an aquarium(s) in my new place (I was not able to in me previous living situation). I had tanks when I lived with my parents so I'm not 100% new at this but it has been a little while. No idea if my first tank should be freshwater or salt water. I'm also interested in possibly doing a ManGrove aquarium...is there a forum/thread about that? Any beginner threads please let me know. I have this tank in storage for a few years. no idea how many gallons it is. Anyone have a good educated guess how bit it is?

Also and Phish fans on here?

Thanks guys!

Additionally, if you use the R2R search feature (upper right hand corner) you will be able to find plenty of information on mangrove tanks (and a lot of other great info depending on the search term you use):

Welcome! If I had to guess (which I don't because you can use the calculator to get the correct number) I'd go with 55 or 60 gallons. Fresh or salt is all preference, but a lot of us have both. Mangrove are fun, but they have their own challenges. If you decide to do a saltwater tank or mangrove tank (or both!) make sure you do a build thread!
