Hello All,
My name is James. My wife and I live in Southwest Indy and are kind of new to the area. Just moved here from Georgia about two years ago. Unfortunately, we didn't think all of our fish and corals would make the trip so we broke down our five tanks, gave a bunch to friends and sold the rest to our lfs. Once we got settled in up here the tanks slowly started getting set up. We have two tanks up an running now unless you count the hospital/isolation tank and feeder tank which puts us up to four. And, we are in the process of setting up a 125...just started putting water in it yesterday. Still not sure what we are going to do with the 125 yet but the wife wants another anemone so I'm figuring that's going to be a must. Here's what we have right now:
39gal Cad Signature Series - This tank houses a mated pair of bangaii cardinals, a pair of black ocellaris clowns, peppermint shrimp, porcelain crabs, and assorted corals (variety of zoas, pulsing xenia, acans, chalice, frogspawn, aussie orage torch, hammer, green star polyps, kaliedoscope polyps, jasmine polyps, sea mat, devil's hand, blasto, mushrooms, yuma, pocillopoa, montipora) and the normal clean up crew.
20gal long - Houses my wife's Wartskin Frogfish she lovingly named George. He came in a lot smaller than we were expecting (maybe an 1in total length) so we had to put a divider in the tank to keep him safe from his will be tankmates/future dinner. On the big side of the divider there is a decorator crab, some damsels and 90% of the clean up crew. Since he isn't very active we wanted some movement in the tank so we've got a lot of macro algae, pulsing xenia, a frag of kenya tree and some polyps.
I grew up with saltwater aquariums and finally decided to get started myself about six or seven years ago. In the beginning my wife thought the hobby was a waste of money but I've luckily dragged her in. Thinking about starting a build thread on the new 125 but we will see how that goes over the next few days. Look forward to meeting some people, seeing some cool pictures/set ups, helping people and learning easier and better ways to do things!
