Introducing myself

TryingToLearn · Oct 12, 2015

Well I have had my first tank set up for about a month and a half. It's a 20 gallon long. I know everyone says the smaller the harder to keep yout levels right. I thought I would learn how to control my levels early so I knew what to do later on. I got lucky with my set up. I got the tank for $20, 2 clowns water and 30 lbs of live rock from a friend that had his tank set up for around 6 months for $25. I used my aqueon 55/75 HOB filter and a 300w heater that I already had and bought 20 lbs of live sand for $20. So from the start I only had $65 invested

. I ordered a Current USA Orbit marine light and love it so far. Since I have set the tank up I have made the mistake of purchasing a condylactis anemone from petco being informed by the clerk that it would host my clowns:/. Sadly I have done some research and that's not the case so I went back the guy talked me into getting a maxi mini... same case here.. so I have learned to do my research before purchasing anything. So as of now I have a 20 gallon long with 30 lbs of live rock, 20 lbs live sand, 2 ocalaris clowns (pair), condy anemone, maxi mini anemone, aqueon 55/75 HOB filter, and Current USA orbit marine LED lighting.
