    Pics of my first tank

    I got more rock for my tank. Its a 24 gallon and has 24 lbs of LR now:) Something is on the rock, looks like a green cacoon. You can see through it. I got a pic, not a very good one though. It's about a inch long.

    Pics of my first tank

    Just got my first tank started. :joy: It's a 24 gallon with about 6lbs of LR in it. I'm going to get about 15lbs more of LR in it eventually. I like to get a 50 gallon and make this my test tank. Havent decided what fish im going to put in it yet. Hopefully these pics will send. Hehe

    tiger eel

    That's what it said on the tank at the store. I'll go back tomarrow and make sure thats what it is called. It had a yellow head with black stripes on its back. Never closed its mouth either.

    tiger eel

    I'm new to saltwater tanks and saw a tiger eel that I thought I might want to get once my tank is up and running. I only have a 24 gallon tank though. If the tank is big enough for him, what other fish can I put in the tank if any? Or should I stick with simplier fish for right now?:)

    Need help

    I'm a newbie needing help. I just bought my tank today. Filled it with sand first and then added water then added the salt. The hydro meter is reading wayyy too high. Should I take out all the water out and start over or wait a while and take a reading again?

    Tiger eel looks kewl, not sure if I should start with one

    I just bought my first tank today. It's small, but its a start. I got a 24 gallon nano cube. When I get the water good and the live rock in, I wanted this eel called a tiger eel. What I was wondering is how aggressive they are. Will I be able to put other fish in with him or other eels...
