    Please keep these videos coming. I almost talked my wife into a salt tank. I am petrified of it though. I have kept fresh water tanks for 30+ years but never had salt water. I am thinking of getting the Fluval evo and have watched your videos on yours. I only have three planted freshwater aquariums now so one more won’t be too much to handle. Love the videos these have been amazing

    Probably be a bit much but would love to see a butterfish (rock gunnell) as it's unknown to many. I know you do not like crabs due to their general aggressive nature however would you consider a small spider crab? Really interesting to watch as it attaches algae to itself and far less aggressive than shore crabs. Both would probably be better in an even larger tank though.

    • @MARKSAQUATICS
      @MARKSAQUATICS  3 года назад +1

  • @Shaden0040
    @Shaden0040 5 месяцев назад

    It'd be cool to see some pipe fish or some temperate water seahorses? some more prods maybe or how about some muscles that'll help clean the water clams raise your clams I know you don't have a substrate deep enough for Green ducks you know the long neck clams Maybe some brittle stars or some cushion stars little ones. if you can find some sea cucumber and a sand dollar and if you want to help get rid of some of the seaweeds put in a merchant they love seaweed Too bad you can't keep a baby lobster in there. I can't remember if you ever found some rainbow rack or not? if not that would be a nice addition!

    • @Shaden0040
      @Shaden0040 5 месяцев назад

      A couple a couple of small Queen Scallops or King Scallop would be interesting to add to I think the starfish will probably eat them but I would get rid of the starfish and add more muscles and clams and scallops maybe some cockles in cuckold regular cocoa? Those might be nice to add as well to the tank Thing is we don't want to overcrowd it right?! well I hope to see you back on the channel soon you have been missed my friend sorely you have keep us saying along with the rest of content creators drink COVID I know that it's done you should benefit now from that.

    The tank is looking really smart after having it's 'covid' haircut! Do you find small flat fish in the rock pools? If so, would they survive in the tank? What about urchins! They would look great.

    Did you know that the anatomy is open and close according to the tide.... it’s quite amazing but things like anonymous but also bivalves oysters will reset for the tide at the location within about two weeks. This was first discovered when they took oysters from Martha’s Vineyard to Arizona and a research station in Tucson. I found with oysters continued to open and close at the tide cycle of their origin for around two weeks until they developed I knew tide at their geographic location despite being so far inland. Wanted to have actually found it at the Land moves Open down slightly in accordance with the tides.
