Oh my. That's a lot of water. Do you just dump it?

You will probably grow lots of algae as well.
Regarding the hear, I'm hoping not. Trying to learn as much as I can about them, don't really know much at this stage. Wasn't just going to sort of jump in and see how it goes. I don't know about the algae either lol.

Oh and I know someone will ask why I don't just keep them in the tank. At some point they'll grow out of the tank and I think that would just look messy. Open top, etc.

Thanks for the replies. Hopefully someone will have some ideas for us.

I'd like this - but out of a glass brackish water filled vase



Here we go, this on a large scale, minus the beta and a lot more plants
