The National Aquarium in Baltimore has a tank very similar to the one you are working on. I bet they would be more than happy to talk with you about the parameters they keep theirs at. The Bay has a severe nutrient problem . My guess is Phosphates are very bad in the Bay. My understanding is that the water in the Bay used to be almost crystal clear due to the filering done by the billions of oysters present. It would have been something really cool to see.

Please post some pics when you are done. re you going to get a little blue crab, or some killifishes? Maybe a Small Spot?
