Past exp. 29 nano, only had a snowflake eel and some damsels along with crabs and snails, 30 gallon freshwater conversion to a saltwater, I had a blue line snapper, a clown, some gobbys, and a few crabs and snails, 120 startup but never had the chance to finish due to a relocation. last aquarium 4 years ago.
I recently purchased a 150 fully setup "minus sand,salt, and rock" aquarium from a local person that upgraded to a 210 gallon. reef tank.
I will be adding salt and water this weekend along with 50 pounds of live rock after i get the temp stable and all levels stable. after the 50 pounds of rock are added i plan on waiting another week or two before adding another 100 pounds of rock..
After I get my first cycle I plan to add 50 hermits and 50 snails. "mixture of blue,emerald, and red crabs, also a mixture of snails"
After another week wait I plan to add a few damsel fish to see how they take to the tank.
Also I ordered the sand and rock from ebay. Was this a mistake???? I ordered from what seemed to be trustworthy sellers. I have only ordered from saltwaterfish.com in the past and picked up fish from *****. But we have one saltwater store in my city and it is extremely overpriced so I would prefer to order online.
I'm looking for any and all help from you lovely hobbyists. This will be my first tank of this size I will have setup and running by the end of the weekend. The person I bought the tank from will be helping with the setup but after that I dont plan on bothering the person with my newbie questions haha.
Also I need to add I will be moving in one year into a house. I dont plan to add any high dollar fish or corals until I have moved, but I would like to get this tank up and running for the time being..
