I started my first saltwater tank about 3 months ago. Since then things progressed so quickly that I had to ditch my makeshift reef tank and all of the hob equipment. I found a Red Sea max 250 online for only $300! That’s cheaper than the next lighting upgrade my other tank desperately needed. Also the sale included all of his spare equipment, food, chemicals, live rock, etc. I rushed everything home and kept the live rock alive, caught all of the bristle worms and quarantined the rock for about 2 weeks. Most if not all of the mushroom corals survived, reds and recordia yumas. Tank parameters were stable after 3 days using live wet rock and 40 lbs of caribsea Fiji pink. Fish entered new tank yesterday, 2 ocelaris clowns, domino damsel, a blue and gold damsel, lawnmower blenny, and a handful of blue leg hermits and snails. Im going let it settle for a few weeks but I need to get to work on some kind of macro algae reactor or if at all possible, a bottom sump for easier access.

I would’ve too, but they terrified the wife. She didn’t like knowing they were in there visible or not

They mostly stay hidden but my wife freaked out as well. Do you have the small feather dusters as well?
