My first SW Tank is up and going.

[scfurse77]

This is my first Saltwater Tank, I've been going for about 3 months and its slowly coming along. I have learned A LOT in the last 3 months and still have no idea what i am doing.

I have a Cadlights Versa 42 Gallon w/ 16 gallon Sump.


Here are some pics, And i'll try to keep the thread updated.

Still learning every day. GBTA moved and got sucked into the powerhead. :mad:

Again still learning, This was my favorite coral. But some aptasia formed at the base and i noticed a little too late and it killed the entire thing in a matter of just a few days. I had to pull the rock yesterday and i boiled it jut to make sure that the aptaisia didnt come back.

I'm jealous your tank looks that good at 3 months. Mine looks like that now, but it's a year old, lol.

Shame to hear about your Duncan, I love mine.

Welcome!

P.S. Did your nem die after getting sucked into the powerhead? Mine got sucked in twice but made 100% recovery each time.

Thanks everyone, Hopefully i can replace the Duncans soon. It was one of my favorites in the tank.

Yeah, i tried to save it and thought it was doing ok until it got sucked into the powerhead a 2nd time. So i had to get rid of it. Since then i have changed my flow so that cannot happen again once i get another one.
