37 Gallon Brackish Column Tank

Noooo MTS here....

Picked up the Marineland 37G column over the weekend for $52 ($15 credit and tank was $60 to begin with!) since my partner wants a community type brackish tank.

Stand was made of about $10 worth of leftover wood from the 65G stand.

That's a nice looking setup. What to do plan to stock in it?

Thanks I'm still up in the air about stocking options... gobies... puffers... ideas? I'm liking the figure 8 puffers, just have to track them down

More photo's!

Substrate is 30 lbs. of Caribsea's aragonite (I think I need more), the filter is an Aquaclear 70. The aragonite was cheapest at Petsmart (go figure), $22 for the bag and the AC70 was on sale for $44.99 there! After the credit (thanks to the Stealth Pro leaking in my 65G) it was about $30. Heater is either the 150 watt Jager or the 150 watt Stealth.

I'd pull the Stealth and leave the Ebo Jager. I'm sure you've seen the threads.

Nice tank What SG are you going to keep the tank at? There are a few different fish you could go with in that tank for sure. Figure 8's are awesome as are knight goby's,dragon goby's, bumble bee goby's, orange chromides, molly's. If you need any help feel free to shoot me a message. One thing I would strongly suggest is investing in a refractometer instead of using a hydrometer, they are way more acurate.

Like 2wheelsx2 suggested, I pulled the stealth heater and have been running the ebo. The decorative rock I got in a trade (thanks Laurie!), as well as the plants.
SG is at 1.005 currently, slowly raising it as much as everyone seems to be happy.

Spot the inhabitants?

Looks pretty neat. Not a brackish guy so I have no idea what the fish are. Are those puffers?
