Glad to finally find an active webboard.
About 4 months ago, i grabbed my 30 gallon (which i had in college as a freshwater) out of the attic and wiped away all the spider webs and set it up as a Saltwater.
Man! I can't believe how I forgot how cool this is....of course I've never had a saltwater though.
30 gallon specs: 30 lbs Fiji live rock, 10 lbs live sand, Yellow tang, purple pseudochromis, damsel electric blue, damsel yellowtail, mandrin, 15 blue hermits, 12 astrea snails, sand sifting starfish, brittle starfish, and 2 rock anemones. Hagen 201 Powerhead w/ quick filter and Bio-Wheel filter.
My wife, son (7 year old), and I have really enjoyed watching this aquarium. So, much in fact....that the only thing I asked for Christmas was a 100 gallon tank. Got it last week! woo WOO
100 Gallon (60x18x20)
Canopy w/ 2 Metal Helyde 10,000 175W plus ? flo power-glo/actinic? (still deciding on what to add).
Right now it has around 40 lbs Fiji LR, 3 damsel yellowtails and ? light brown damsel
(forgot to ask what kind it was =) and 4 blue hermits (ordered more and going to add 20 more).
2 Hagen 402 w/ quick filters.
I believe this will be it til the tank cycles.
In the future, I plan on adding more LR to give a total of 80 lbs LR and also adding 20-40 lbs LS. Maybe a protein skimmer. Probably a clam and some minor Reef stuff (hence the strong lights).
I am new at this...so, feel free to make comments on anything here. I'm sure I'll make mistakes.....in fact...you'll probably get a chuckle outta this one. But, ever since I started the 30g salt tank...I've had the air bubble hose connected to my powerhead causing all KINDS of bubbles everywhere! Until recently, my LPS said "Get rid of it!" when I mentioned it. hehe.
I do already have a "What is this Rock Anemone?" question coming at ya, as soon as i upload the pictures to my homepage.
Look forward to being a part of this saltwater discussion,
