Mod @thebrackishtank

So I saw a neat post under the fishblr tag to talk about your tanks (link here... no worries, I’ll reblog it for ease!) that I thought looked like lots of fun. But I love talking about myself - you can tell this because I’m on the internet - so I figured why not! A little bit about me and the tank below the cut.

Hi everybody! This is @thebrackishtank / @thenativetank / @brambleforest. My name though is Joel, I’m in my early 30′s now (yikes! I was 22 when I joined Tumblr) and have been the moderator at @fishcommunity for about 4 years now.

- Current date: April 21, 2020

- Aquarium Age: About 11 months, it was the first thing I set up when I bought this house!

- Aquarium size:125 gallons.

- Aquarium inhabitants:

--- 3 Scats (Selena and Itty Bitty are Silver Scats, Verde is the Green Scat)

--- 1 Green Spotted Puffer (Scooty Puff is a darling! Never once bit a tankmate)

--- 1 Knight Goby (Goby-Wan... he’s a Jedi Knight... er... Goby)

--- 1 Freshwater Demoiselle (Greg)

--- 8 Orange Chromides

--- 2 Zebra Nerite Snails

- Substrate (sand, gravel, Eco Complete, etc.): Approximately 90% pool filter sand, 10% aragonite.

- Hardscape (nonliving decorations): Lava Rock, Oyster Shells, and one piece of driftwood I couldn’t part with :-P

- Plants: None! Brackish plants are not hard to come by, but ones that survive 1.006 specific gravity AND are unpalatable to Scats is a hard combo to find. So everything in here is plastic and still looks fine to me!

- Light: Just some cheapo LEDs. I just needed white light, no need for fancy wavelength/intensity levels.

- Filter: A Fluval 406 Canister Filter on one end, and a cheapo internal, air powered box filter on the other end. Why include that? Water movement is the key to combating Blue-Green Algae - it thrives in stagnant water. One year in, and no BGA to speak of :)

- CO2? (yes or no): Naw, no need. Maybe if I did some seagrasses, but I’d need so much more substrate if I was going to do that.

- Fertilizers: The fish make plenty :-P

- Food: I have a variety of dried and frozen foods I add in... brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, Emerald Entree, Tilapia chunks, Hikari sinking wafers, freeze dried krill, nori strips, and a few types of Bug Bites foods for the cichlids.

- Water Changes: Typically weekly, usually on the order of 40-50 gallons.

Hey Fishblr!

Quarantine has left me with a lot of time on my hands to spend on my aquarium hobby. I have been exploring the fish keeping community on other platforms as well, and I found myself curious about how others set up and manage their fish tanks.

I then thought, “Why not make a post about my aquarium, and encourage others to do the same?”

So, here is my challenge. Below the cut is a form that anyone can copy and paste to fill out and post. I would really appreciate it if fish keepers of all levels would like and spread this post and try this out! Fill out the form, and tag it with:

- my aquarium my way

- mamw

(Acronym for my aquarium my way to ensure a unique tag)

- betta-every-day

- advice please

(Only if you want others to leave constructive advice, which MUST include the criticism, explanation, and possible alternatives. No rude comments!)

This is NOT a judgemental tag! I plan to track this tag, and hope others will too :)

I have noticed that the aquarium hobby can be very elitist in nature. The truth is, we all start somewhere.

♡ I HOPE YOU ENJOY ♡
