Hi reeferheads,

My name is Syn I live in Alabama and have been reefing for a short period of time. I have a 60 gal reef setup with 2 oc clowns, 1 six line wrasse, 3 fire gobies, lawnmower blenny, yellow tang, green mandarian, fire shrimp, 2 emerald crabs, assorted snails and hermits, red decorator crab, harlequin shrimp, 3 choco stars or should i say some of 3 the harley eats like no tomorrow
rose bubble tip anemone, purple head hammer and frogspawn, blue red and green mushrooms, green button polyp, green star polyp, whisker duncan, war coral, orange short tentacle plate coral, superman mushroom, ricordea, green candy cane, fire and ice & green dragon eye & superman zoas, a green with purple eyes reverse cyphastrea (i think) and some orange frag lyphastrea or something not sure of ID and some other coral not sure the ID.

WOW thats a mouth full. The tank has done well so far did lose a fish or two along the way but things seem to be running smooth now "fingers crossed" the tank is about 6+ months and have really immersed myself into staring into a glass box full of water.

I am a novice so go easy on me :) will upload some photos soon just to show off the newly forming coraline really excited to be here.

Hello Syn. Where do you live in Alabama? I'm in Hoover. This is a great forum with a lot of people willing to help
 
montgomery area 1 reef shop here nice people decent product kinda pricey but better than the local petco lots or shops up there?
 
Not really. We have three here. Reef revolution, reef life and aquarium imports. From what I can tell, the Hobby is bigger here than Montgomery. The hobby is bigger in Huntsville than bhm. The hobby in Nashville seems to be the bomb. Lol not sure why going north has anything to do with it, but that's the way it seems to me
 
dont really get up that far do visit atlanta area but havent hit any stores there yet besides the atlanta aquarium if you havent been well worth the ride and ticket prices plus they have the only whale sharks in the us afaik
 
Welcome :D Sounds like an awesome tank. Love your avatar picture. :) Love that you have a decorator crab, So cool >,< What does he wear?
 
hes in the quarantine / chocostarfish tank cause he decided to pick off zoas when i got him didnt know thats what he done so trying to let the zoas multiply before i put him back in right now he has some GSP and some sponge on his back hes not fully dressed yet gonna reintroduce him once things get abundant enough that he dont pick everything off :-)
 
HHAHAHHA That's awesome! Makes me want one even more xD Although I'm content with my urchin for now because I can "pick" out his wardrobe for him without worrying about him fragging stuff for himself. Please post pictures when you can :)
 
The first pick is crab hide n seek the others was when i first got him hes missing two legs not sure how when or if they molt has not done it yet and been months all other crustaceans have molted several times even harlequin shrimp

I haven't had him him for very long (under a month) but I love my new blue tuxedo urchin. I got a tuxedo urchin because they're small, don't sting and eat corralline algae (which I have WAY too much of and absolutely hate so far he hasn't been doing too good a job of eating it though /sigh... he might be eating other algae). He's awesome. He occassionally picks up snails which I doubt they appreciate but mostly he decorates himself with sand empty shells and small frags I make especially for him. OH he's also grabbed my therameter a couple of times which I thought was pretty funny xD With all his decorations it can kind of be like playing "where's waldo?" when looking for him :)
