I'm a new hobbyist, about 4 months into it & was referred to this MB by an employee at my favorite LFS, Hi Tide.
I must say I'm really impressed with the activity & moreever, the breadth & depth of the posts here. What an awesome resource to come upon.
We suffered an ice storm a few weeks ago here in the charlotte area & I , like many other local aquariasts, lost most if not all of their critters. I'm slowly restocking my puny tank & already have gotten lots of great ideas from what I've read here.
Fortunately I have a very good friend who is deeeep in the hobby, who aside from introducing me to saltwater, has donated practically everything it took to get me up & running with a healthy tank.
I look forward to following this MB.
15gallon high
ON FIRE with a 250w Iwasaki 12k MH
2 baybee (1") false percs
1 HUUUGE (7" across the antennae) cleaner
1 Unknown Goby (neon shaped, tiny, white head, red stripes along the sides of head, white body, vertical green stripes, orange ears.... anybody?)
12 astrea & margarita snails
8 blue leg hermits.. Cripple Fight!!!
1 monster scarlet
Gobs of mushrooms: greens, purples, reds, fuzzy brown/greens & browns
Purple cicali, green hydnophora, funky green/brown monpora
Xinias
Candycane torch
Brown/purple buttom polyps & BRIGHT yellow polyps (which my cleaner shrimp tortures)
Unknown name green & purple/brown leathers
30lbs live rock ( yes, 5 gallons in a 50% water change )
whew, first time I ever listed an inventory. I think I'll spare us all next time I post.
regards
