Hello, just sharing my marine tank. It's an office tank that my parents so I can't really control the stocking but ohwell... It's nicknamed the Tang tank because we have super a lot of Tangs! (coincidently Tang is my surname :rolleyes:)

The tank itself is approximately half a year old.

Enjoy!

Looks good! That's quite a stocklist though, so you got to take note of the bio load. Do get your dad involved and interested in researching these fishes, so that he will understand their needs and do his best to meet them.

Yep, but during the week I do my own maintenance whenever there. Top up water, test parameters, dose additives, etc.

Gonna cut down on maintenance soon though, tank maturing nicely.

Nice tank!!!

Can i know who set the tank up for u?

Iwarna. IMO they did a pretty good job, just that you might want to consider switching the lighting after awhile as the ones they provide are a bit dim and tend to overheat. I changed mine to LumenAqua LED.

Also, biofiltration might be an issue if you end up stocking the tank this heavily. I added Seachem matrix and those bio-home tubes (Dymax brand) this week. Might get some rowaphos to treat the algae... But for now, I am dirt broke.

ANYWAY, a Lobo and an Elegance were added recently.. though the elegance tentacles are like.. short and fat. Not long and flowing...

      RECLAIMING STOLEN BITCOIN/CRYPTO USDT WITH =>( FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY ).

      My Incredible Recovery of $55,000 in Stolen Bitcoin through the wonderful skills of Folkwin Expert Recovery was nothing short of a miracle. It all started when I realized that my Bitcoin wallet had been hacked and my entire life savings of $55,000 in Bitcoin had been stolen right out from under me. I was devastated, thinking there was no way I'd ever see that money again. In a desperate attempt, I searched online for any possible solution and came across Folkwin Expert Recovery. At first I was skeptical that they could really recover stolen cryptocurrency, but I had nothing to lose so I contacted them. The Folkwin Expert Recovery experts were incredibly knowledgeable and walked me through their proprietary process of tracking down the stolen funds. They employed advanced forensic techniques to follow the blockchain trail and identify the hacker's wallet address that my Bitcoin had been transferred to. Their tenacity and technical capabilities were unparalleled. After weeks of tireless work, they finally pinpointed the location of my stolen Bitcoin. Through their connections and some quasi-legal maneuvers, they were miraculously able to regain control of the hacker's wallet and return my $55,000 in Bitcoin back to me. I was in shock that they actually pulled it off! I never thought I'd see that money again, but thanks to Folkwin Expert Recovery's brilliant skills, I got back every last cent. Their services are worth 10 times what they charged. I am eternally grateful to them for recovering my life savings when all seemed lost. Folkwin Expert Recovery gave me back my financial security and peace of mind. They are true masters of cryptocurrency recovery. After falling victim to a cryptocurrency theft that saw $55,000 of Bitcoin vanish into the digital abyss, all hope seemed lost. However, through the innovative services of Folkwin Expert Recovery, a glimmer of hope emerged. Milestones in the recovery process included tracing the stolen funds through intricate blockchain analysis, identifying the perpetrators, and navigating legal channels to reclaim what was rightfully mine. Breakthroughs came in the form of uncovering hidden wallets and leveraging cutting-edge technology to reverse the digital heist.
