my first 30G Tank Brackish Edmonton

just curious, why'd you lower the water level?

seen a brackish display years back with mudskippers, still think the idea was one of the best.

just so i could get some land on there at the moment.. i bought 2 big bags of sand and thats wat i got out of it.. soon to be more though.. will have the tank 50/50 water land.. but right now as it sits.. thats how it is.. again once i get more sand it will be raised up a bit more

mark: i wanted to always do something like this.. i could have went straight SW or kept the FW but brackish caught my attention to some wat unique to me and fun.. so i set out to do this project.

i've seen some mudskip/crab brackish setups and thats wat gave me motivation and inspiration to do this..

thanks guys!

as promised i have full updated pictures of new setup and a cleaner room..

measured the PPT levels of the water and as it sits 10PPT

also will be getting new light fixtures that perch ontop of the tank giving the tank room between the light and lid

all my crabs have recently Molted which is a good sign and i have only counted one crusted shell that they molted.. so that means they have devoured the other two shells..

water level is fairly the same as i dropped it in before.. knowing there is some evaporation in the water im not to overly concerned as there will be water change out every 2 weeks.

plans as of right now. pick up some mangrove plants to give a natural environment. more sand to up the land space. and a few more RCC's and possibly mudskippers but the mudskps will have to wait till winter
