Hair Saltwater Fishing






Hair Saltwater Fishing
Divorce, Left With Saltwater Tank. How Do We Care For It?

My mom just got a divorce with her husband and now we are left with a 65 gallon Saltwater tank that we have no idea how to take care of.

Theres a sump underneath, and the water from the sump is pumped to the fish tank above and then the water spills over this big black thing in the corner and then from that its taken back down into the sump and the process begins again.

There are only 2 crabs and 3 fish in the tank. Along with a whole bunch of live rock. There are no other organisms in the tank.

Its being taken over by I think its called "hair" algea. Its gross.

How do we get rid of the algea and what maitenance does the tank require as far as water changes and other things like that go?

We have a bag of salt but we have no idea when and where to put it in at.

Please help, we are trying hard to do this!

Thanks.

The most important part of keeping the tank going is the water.

You want to top off the water every day or so with FRESH RO water. (Reverse osmosis- distilled water) Don't treat the water you're using to top off the water with salt. Keep adding fresh and keep the hydrometer reading about 1.025. 1.023 is the ideal number. As you add fresh water eventually it will go down and then you add salt to bring it back up to 1.023. Most fish are happy at a temperature of 76-79 degrees Fahrenheit. The ideal PH is 8.0-8.4 and the PH CANNOT fluctuate more than 0.2 or else bad things will happen. Nitrates should be around 5-20ppm but your invertebrates will appreciate 5ppm or less.
