I had an old 50g corner tank and stand that was given to me a few years ago.
I decided to make a saltwater tank like I did when I was a kid in the 70's.
Put in sand, rocks and anything I can find or catch on or near the beach.
I am going to break every rule, see what happens and learn from the experience.
1. First thing was to clean the tank and paint the two back sides with black Plasti-Dip.
2. I headed to the beach and collected life sand, shells and rocks. The rocks I collected were all fossilized coral and full of holes and cavities for bacteria.
3. I added the live sand to the tank, then the rocks.
