Early this year I broke down the 20g H with some freshwater fish, and I was gonna just store everything...but when I went to donate my fish at the local pet store I started asking about the saltwater/reef tank...and well now I'm hooked.
I've been trying to read all these posts and search the web constantly trying to get the most out of my tank and work the issues that come up. I work offshore so I am also always trying to make it as painless as I can for my wife or whoever I leave instructions with to take care of the tank.
I am currently planning and gathering equipment new and used (when I see a good deal) on 90 - 120 gallon setup. I will hopefully at least have tank and stand built here real soon.
So here is my current set up questions, comments, concerns and advice welcome.
Thank you
Coral Beauty (will go to bigger tank in the future)
Sail fin blenny
Clown
Fire fish
Blue leg Crabs...several
Red Leg x 1
Emerald x 1
Anemone x 1
Trumpets
Green Zoas
Rasta Zoas??? I think that was the name
Green mushroom that is now x 4
Purple Ricordia
Australian Duncan
Hammer
Frog spawn
Torch
Feather duster (coco worm??)
Kenya tree
Green starburst
Now I also have some anemones, most people have not recommended....so bare with me.
Rose Bubble tip, great color and is very small
Green Bubble tip, he was much bigger than I anticipated after I got it home and tried to take him back but he was giving me a hard time.
But the anemones have stayed put, and I know that could change real quick, but over a month they moved to those spots after being put in and haven't moved. There tips react and are lively but just seem content. The rose Bubble is my second they other one just disappeared on my wife one day last time o went offshore, so I think it met its fate in the filter or power head. Which one I got the second one it tried to go in the filter over night about 6 hours after going to bed. Before running some errands early I checked the tank and freaked out and couldn't get it out so I removed the uptake tube slightly and placed leaned it on the rock and it moved out to its current home ever since.
So that's the run down!!
