advice

[sandman1966]

This is my first post but have been lurking around this board for a couple of years when i had a question. Its nice to get advice from someone who doesn't want to make a buck of of me. i upgraded my tank recently and from a 39 gallon with an eclipse 3 to 75 gallon.i have a fluval 404 for filtering. around 40lbs. live rock so far and 60lbs. of sand.. i have 1 boxfish and an asortment of crabs snails and a couple starfish. i transfered everything from one tank to the other around a month ago. my water parameters are all normal so far. EVERYONE IS HAPPY. So i guess my question is what next? i would like to get anemone's and some soft corals i am going to take the boxfish to the lfs and trade him i am tired of him i have had a boxfish in my tank for at least 3 years and i have had a boxfish nuke my tank before. so i am going to trade him and get into some other sealife i am a little apprehensive to add any fish with boxy because of the nuke episode a few years ago . and it seems a waste to have all this space and 1 fish.

If you send me 3 easy payments of $19.99 I'll be happy to help you out.

OK, I'm not out to make a buck. You called it.
So are you looking for fish or invert/coral advice? Can you fill us in on what kind of lighting you have? That will be very important in the anemone/coral department.

Big upgrade for lighting and I thinks it great you are researching first...
Good luck with the new stock whenever you do decide what to do.. There are alot of posts about lighting for corals... MH is the best, but then again you also have to think about water quality. Corals/anenomes need alot of attention to water quality. I would suggest a skimmer, and/or fuge with macro/LR. You are on the right track though so good luck ...
