Braggin Rights

[killafins]

I just had to brag that I got two fish that I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really wanted for my birthday: Another seahorse and a morray eel. Next thing, I will change my 55 gallon around to make it a porky puffer dream land. Oh well, it made this sh**y day worth while! Oh I also got a saddle back puffer but that was just a kewl thing.

Wow. How many tanks do you have and how big are they??

 

[killafins]

three tanks
First is a 5 gallon: a hermit crab that kills everything except this one damsel... and that very damsel
20 gallon: two turbo snails, horse shoe crab, mandarin, two seahorse, two cleanershrimp, one cammel back shrimp and one arrow crab.
55 gallon: One morray eel, two yellow tail blue damsels, a pink chromis, one tomato clown, two horseshoe crabs and my little unknown puffer.
before the morray eel i had the cammel back and arrow crab in the fifty five.
I am saving up my money for a 300; but that's just a dollar a week deal. I can't get one of those until I am out of college, some reason my mom doesn't want to care for so many aquariums.

I wish i could have that many tanks.

It's not how many tanks you have that matters, what does matter is what you do with your one tank. My tanks are completely budget, nothing special. I am in it for the marine fish, not the look of it. You should do what I didn't, make one tank completely perfect and THEN get another one.

what do u mean? I talked to alot of people and they told me it would be a perfect for it? Was that a sarcastic terrific?

 

[killafins]

compliance, i appreciate u not going on into anger, but talking to me into concern. There is a big difference and i thank u for pointing it out without being a ksahdhjafj... I have successfully brought the mandarin to eat live and frozen brine with my seahorses. I have some pods; not that much, but he seems to do fine. Naa, the LFS guy told me he would be fine with my SFE... i don't trust him nemore. A couple friends in the local area told me it would be fine.

for a refugium i thought u needed special lighting? I am in the process of getting this lighting for the twenty gallon so i can get live rock (i have some already, bad move of my part) and anenome's and some other stuff. So as soon as i pick the lights out i should be getting more lr in the twenty gallon

 

[killafins]

than what is that entire thing about wattage per gallon for a reef aquarium? I thought the LR will die withotu good attage. Confused....

 

[killafins]

so wait a minute... so the light i have on my tank now... i can use for my refugium's light because i m buying newer light for the twenty. But couldn't I just grow the pods in the twenty once I add the light? Istn' pods growing now in my tank from the small lr in there?

live rock doesnt need special lights!! corals and anenomes and the such need special lights, hence the watts per gallon, which i heard was around 6 watts per gallon or something. but i was under the impression live rock itself did not need any special light.
my 2 cents
