AquariumRookie 55g Diary

I just got done with college final exams and decided to do the diary thing. I first started into saltwater around December after my initial purchase of a freshwater tank in early September. After finding that I didn't like my first 55 so well, I bought another (the black one) and went from there. I bought around 50lbs of live rock at first, and then slowly added to it. My first fish was a Lionfish....I thought it was awesome looking but after it ate one of my cycle damsels I realized it wasn't compatible with much lol. So, I took it back and started fresh. My current stock list consists of a black saddle clownfish, sailfin tang, juvenile koran angel (I know, way too big for the tank, it's currently for sale lol), firefish, chocolate starfish, green bulb anemone, pink tip hatian, and rock anemone. Looking to add a few more fish once I gather up some funds and get my predator hitchhiker out of the tank (I'm thinking he's a mantis shrimp). In the meantime though, I have started up another 55, this time for aggressives. I'll add pictures of that tank in a few months. Let me know if you have any suggestions on the tank (other than taking the sailfin out lol). Thanks.... AquariumRookie

Other then the angel and tang (which both need to go) and keeping the star well fed and the two clowns might and prob will start to fight sooner or later And keep a CLOSE eye on the anems that they dont start to fight. It looks good other then those things.

Thanks. The angelfish is for sale, the other clown jumped shipped when I didn't have a glass canopy, and I'll upgrade to something bigger when my sailfin doesn't fit. Hoping that won't be for a while though lol. Any you were right about the clowns, before the one jumped out, they were starting to go at it. I think the smaller one decided to end it early on purpose lol.
