what do i buy

[NoahLikesFish]

i will be getting birthday money for my birthday, what should i buy? i have a 10 gallon waiting to be set up, a 3 gallon that i want to get dwarf seahorses and dwarf pipefish in and 20 long established tank that i am turning into a macro or seagrass tank but i could get some filter feeders and things that do well under ~6500 kelvin. i have a hawk a blenny (bicolor) my goblin fish my aip file and my clarkii. i thought about a mag but after doing research i learned they eat fish so i dont want them. possibly some bubble tip or rock flower? i do like caribean condys also. feather dusters and flame scallops are ideas but id be concerned because my file likes to peck at snails. i do need a couple of ato systems (do those water bottle diy ato things work? i was considering them temporarily at least on the 3 gal) in the 10 gal i am running a jaubert plenum with crushed coral and garf grunge and i would like to get some flame scallops and feather dusters and possibly chilli coral along with some leathers and gorgonians if i cannot get them inside the 20 gallon

Go with rock flowers. They are easy and are colorful

i vote for improvements to the 20

Upgrade equipment, get a good heater with fall upcoming, Test kits 0 NO API, or RO unit if you dont yet have one

Three gallons is too small for a dwarf pipefish and seahorse tank. I think they would look awesome in the 20!

The water bottle systems work fine. I bought one from Amazon, no issues. You just have to fill it often since they are a small reservoir.

Pick one tank, preferably the 20g and get it started. If successful try other tanks. Too much going on.

Test kits for the 20, no nps, scallops, or other super difficult to keep organisms. When you say mag were you refering to a ritteri anemone??? Your lights definitely wouldn't support that or a bubbletip. Even rock flowers is pushing it. You could also get better lights with the bday money to help the current coral in the tank.

its a 16 chip 23 watt cree bulb and i have 2 of them lol i want to get some high output growlights because all i really want is macroalgae and specimen inverts (feather dusters, scallops, anenome, etc.) i know i can keep tubeworms andmussels and sponges breeding in my tanks in large number under my rocks. all i do is stir my sand occasionally.

Those lights are not what an anemone needs.

i have rdistilled and a heater. my room is hot 24/7 my fw tank has no heater and it stays at 76 degrees

 

[NoahLikesFish]

i think flame scallops would be a good idea because i can feed them marine snow via autofeeder

 

[NoahLikesFish]

i think non photo synthetic can be more easier. with like feather dusters and flame scallops.

 

[NoahLikesFish]

i want a tank with macroalgae and inverts,corallimorphs,mabye leather that are veruy resistant to algae. thats all aim concerned abt. i assume like mushrooms can live in my tank

 

[NoahLikesFish]
