Some 35yrs ago i remember my dad keeping a fish tank with 1 Anemone and what i since learn't was a maroon clown fish (i think). Sadly i also remember a mercury thermo being broke by a mantis shrimp and killing everything. I've had fresh water and tropical fish tanks with great success and recently sold off my tropical fish and dumped a load of sea salt into the tank! there its done! ahah not exactly like that but you get the story.. :)
Now all the research, you tube, google, yahoo, forums and shop sites there is a hell of a lot of conflicting information. strange. anyway i have a few questions for you bofs :P
Temperature?
What is the ideal temperature of a marine tank? Through my research on youtube and other sites i gathered it was between 72F and 76F however i've recently discovered this page from a shop near me suggesting the temperature should be 25C-29C which converted is 77F to 84F
My tank is constant at 25C (77F)
So what is the ideal temperature, and should i raise mine?
Salinity
Again conflicting information allover. Most say 1.021 yet ive seen on this forum 1.024 - 1.026
My tank is at 1.023
Thanks for any info :)
