Has anyone here started their first aquarium with saltwater rather than freshwater? Would you recommend doing freshwater first? Lastly, how difficult would moving a fairly mature (1-1.5 year old) saltwater aquarium be?
>>4780717My dad did, I believe, but at the time he lived near the ocean so he literally got his water and fish directly.>>4780467This is actually what they do when the split (go to the back/underneath of the rockwork to heal), but the way I designed this iteration of rockwork makes it possible to see them all anyway, heh.>>4779376>I will just wait to get a bigger tank so that they can grow as much as they want.They, and coral for that matter, will just grow to however much space, food, minerals, and light you give them. I've seen 120G tanks filled with nothing but rocks, BTA, and a giant harem of clownfish. I would just keep doing whatever you want for the rest of the tank, and if it splits, sell off the split. The size part is pretty tricky. I haven't fed mine in like three years yet they still grow (zooxanthellae of course, and I'm sure they've caught stray food now and then).
>>4780717Ooh I should add, I vote going straight to salt. Yes, some knowledge in freshwater will carry over, but it's not like you can't learn those lessons with saltwater. Moving mature tanks is pretty fucking hard though, unless it's a fish-only (with live rock) tank. When you have mature colonies of coral, it's pretty nerve wracking trying to take them out and transfer them to a new tank, ESPECIALLY if the new tank isn't even in the same house.
>>4753173I've never kept a dwarf shrimp tank specifically but just watching a bunch of shrimp scraping biofilm off the substrate doesn't sound very interesting desu. As part of a community tank amanos are nice because they get big enough to not be easy snacks for your average community fish.
>>4780717You can absolutely start with saltwater. A simple reef with soft corals and hardy LPS will be easier than an entry high tech freshwater tank.There’s less unexplained fuckups in saltwater because the water you add in is much more controlled than the random well or tap water you use in freshwater.

Does /an/ have any experience with pet sitting services or pet hotels? I have to go overseas in the summer for two weeks, and I have to leave my two cats behind. I don't have any friends or family that can look after them. What's the best option here? I'm having panic attacks thinking about having to leave them with someone I don't know.
>>4780433My kot would die of stress if I did that lmfao
>>4780433Well my cat hates other cats and will attack them so I would rather leave him in the house and have someone come feed and check on him, and change the litter box. Someone that has pet sitting references and seems trustworthy, I'll just give them a key. My cat would get bored and be sad so I could not have a fun trip knowing this. But he will live.If you don't already have some camera I would get one you can check on. I have one and only plug it in when I'm away for all day or longer. But my cat just gets confused if I use the speaker to talk to him so I don't, I just look and make sure he's ok, usually he's just sleeping.
>>4780433Pet sitting makes me nervous because I don’t really trust strangers in my home. I don’t have a pet hotel. I think you’re right to be worried but it doesn’t sound like you have much of a choice.
>>4780433your panic attacks is the toxo being alarmed you'll be away from your masters
Just use a site like Rover. They're vetted (kek) pet sitters with ratings and reviews. They'll send someone over twice a day to feed and interact with your cats. I've used it numerous times. I have a favorite petsitter.

use selaginella, pothos, or any other vining plant combination as your only plants. It'll grow and look so cool like this in only 2-3 weeks. I'm using a cheap amazon light and an upright 10 gallon tank with a custom plastic door.

Cat people be like
>>4780726Its a shame a domesticated animal literally bred to love us unconditionally, to the point that their affection and loyalty makes dogs look like cold hearted women, had to draw the attention of such absolute fucking retards.
>>4780736I think your brain parasites are flaring up again
>>4780736>Its a shame a domesticated animal literally bred to love us unconditionallyThey will literally eat your corpse if you die alone in your house.A dog would never do that unless it was on the brink of starvation.You are also still down a couch from your "clean" pet.
>>4780672cats are cleaner than dogs retard. it's not just about the spit, it's about their tongues too. you're arguing against physics here. obviously they won't be cleaner than after you've given them a bath (you should actually bathe your cat occasionally), but they are far cleaner than a dog or pretty much every single pet out there
>>4779623no they don't you worthless subhuman. not unless you keep them in the cages just to sleep and leave them free for the rest of the day. of course if you do that, it beats the purpose of a cage because now your house is covered in bird shit and your furniture has holes in it
