    Starting up a Reef tank 50 gallons

    I may be wrong here but once you get going you're probably not going to want the Damsel in there anyways. So it may be better to just take him out now while he is easy to catch.

    I have a 4 bulb ATI fixture on my 65. Seems to be going great as of now. I just started with SPS though.

    How to get rid of nuisance anemone

    Just got 3 peppermints for my 65. A rock of Zoas looks to be affected by 3 aptasias. Hopefully they do the trick. Not too crazy about putting a Copperband in the tank since it seems they are not reef safe.

    What type of salt do you use?

    I use IO right now. Once this bucket is done I will move onto Reef Crystals. Would it be worth just picking up the RC's now and going with half of each during water changes?

    Yeah I plan on being really picky with what I get. I'm starting off with some easy corals. I want to eventually move onto some SPS. My plan is to have a mixed reef. Bottom full of softies and some SPS in the middle of the rock and the top. I probably wont get much for LPS other than what I...
