Hello everyone,

I am a new reefer as of 4 months and 13 days ago.
I have always wanted to try a saltwater aquarium but I was always put off by a large amount of information I needed to do it right.
Well, just recently I made up my mind to give it a try. what the heck, I said.

My setup is a 55-gallon tank with no built-in plumbing. I honestly did not weigh the amount of rock and sand I put in there but if I had to guess, I'd say 30-ish lbs.

My tank inhabitants so far are listed below:
2 Halloween Hermit Crabs
10 dwarf hermit crabs
2 cerith snails
2 trochus snails
2 nasarrius snails
1 nerite snail

1 bumblebee gobi (normally sold as brackish water only fish)
2 saddle-back black n white barred clownfish
1 sailfin blenny (lawnmower)
2 peppermint shrimp (1 is banished to the sump for eating my coral)

1 bam-bam orange zoa
1 candy cane coral (6 heads)
1 GSP coral

I am currently battling hair algae in my display. I tried a 72-hour blackout with little effect. I am dosing vibrant once a week for the last 5 weeks, but again little to no effect.
I recently put in a protein skimmer and upped my water changes from 10 to 15 gallons each week.


Overall I am loving the hobby.


Good to meet all of you.

Hello and Welcome! Look forward to hearing about your many successes!

I'm a few weeks ahead of you in the Vibrant treatment. Keep pulling that algae out and we'll keep dosing our Vibrant
