See, that is why I like this site so much. I like getting advice on what, and what not to do or buy. It isnt just about saving money, but the lives of the creatures we like so much.. Thanks, and no mandarin for me...I'll just enjoy them in the display tank at the lfs..

Can someone please advise me on how hard it would be to keep a mandarin goby in a 30 gal tank. I hear they can be quite picky at times, and hard to supply with the right kind of food. Is this correct?, and if so, what kind of food will they eat? Thanks

Ok, this wasnt exactly what I had in mind when I went out to by my second coral, but I seen a flowerpot coral that was at a lfs that was in need of care. They werent going to sell it, but just let it die off. I told the lady if she would sell it too me for half price I would see if I can try to...

Only reason I was leaning away from an anenome, was I heard they can be kind of hard to keep, and the life span wasnt that long.. thanks for your replies..

Thanks Volitan.. this is fun looking and seeing something differnt everytime. I know I have to be patient, but it will be even more fun when I finally get my crew going..:-). Question on the caulerpa. should I just let it keep growing? or should I cultivate it after awhile. I am sure it will be...

I ordered my lights from Hellolights.com. They will easily fit on my tank I think the measurements are 24x9.75x1.75. Cost about $250.00.

Thanks for the suggestions, and the welcome. I am getting excited about setting up this tank. I know it will take alot of time to make it, but it will be worth it. My filter is a tetratec, I got it because it has the heater built in 200w. I guess if I dont need the filtration, I could always...
