We own an Artisan Market in Baltimore Ohio & repurpose furniture for a living. We love the saltwater hobby & decided to combine the two ♡'s
This vintage piano was repurposed into a fish only display tank for our new location when we expanded our business.
I managed to get some photos of the progress & thought I'd share them.
We were donated the piano from a local church and modified it a bit for aesthetic purposes.
We purchased the 90 gallon set up used. It was up and running with rock & no livestock when we purchased it.
We got it from a local hobbyist who had sold his fish and was getting out of the hobby.
We trashed all the original sand & water and only kept the 100+ pounds of live rock.
We set it back up with new sand & ro saltwater. We waited 3 weeks and added a few fish and a clean up crew.
To the sump, we added some of the smaller live rock pieces, a sandwich baggie of free chaeto from a fellow , local hobbyist & a package of pods from Podyourreef.
Livestock we currently have:
Powder Brown Tang
Foxface
Mandarin
Firefish
Engineer Goby
Cleaner Shrimp
And a clean up crew (tons of snails & crabs)
8 weeks into the move and no true cycle has happened. Water quality is great. I'm guessing the non existant cycle was due to the large amount of cycled live rock.
