Dear hobbyist, I began this hobby with a 20 long fresh water set up . After my baby daughter was born , I decided to start a 38 gallon saltwater aquarium. After it leaked, I upgraded to a 45 gallon saltwater aquarium . After it leaked ,I upgraded to a 75 gallon saltwater aquarium . After nearly 8 years, my 75 caught a leak under the bottom and a friend wanted it . So I gave it to him and I upgraded to a brand new 150 gallon saltwater aquarium which I presently have . I've been in this hobby for 17 years and I'm enjoying every moment of it .

My DTs were a 29 and a 55 (which was mostly Discus and Angels), and I had (don't laugh) 67 10s to raise the Black Lace Angel fry which came from 3 breeding pair.
July 28, 2007 My local ***** was getting rid of its display 90 so I bought the works: tank, stand, sump, lighting, LS, LR, and 11 fish. That's when I caught the disease. ICH wiped out most of the livestock when I shortcutted my own QT rules for a 7" Naso. So I've started to rebuild. Now I have:
4 10s and 2 20s...all are QT tanks.
90 FOWLR w/
1 Goldflake Angel
2 Lineatus Fairy Wrasses
1 Fuzzy Dwarf Lion
3 Bangaii Cardinals
1 Blue Reef Chromis
1 Purple Firefish Goby
1 Lawnmower Blenny
1 Blue Damsel
Various Inverts
55 In Transition
This tank was to be my agressive tank but in the new new gameplan (I've modified it frequently) it's destined to become a thickly planted refugium plumbed to my soon to be new reef. Right now it contains:
1 Snowflake Eel (staying)
1 Adult ultra-agressive Damsel (probably staying)
2 Clarkii (mated pair...the female is 4-5") (moving)
1 6" Purple Carpet (moving)
1 14" Green Carpet (moving)
NEW TANK (450)

No residents yet but the Clarkiis will definitely move (along with their Carpets) and I have in quarantine
1 Powder Brown Tang
1 Desjardinii Sailfin Tang

Do goldfish and betta bowls count?

We has freshwater tanks when I was a kid, just don't remember much about them. I know a friend of my dad's raised bala sharks and gave us some at one point.
Since starting saltwater:
12 gallon nano
55 gallon reef
180 gallon reef in the works
20L frag tankfrag QT in the works
10 gallon QT
Still considering the 37T seahorse tank, but the 180 setup goes in first....that one is going to take a while.

 

[dlee]

right now i have:
90g reef
75g freshwater planted with community fish
46g freshwater with lake tanganyika cichlids
10g quarantine

I've had tanks all my life. My parents had saltwater before I was born. I've had all the freshwater tanks and bracish.
Started my first saltwater Jan 2007 55gal FOWLER, In March started adding corals and now it's a reef.
25 gal hex with 2 erectus WC fillies
5Gal fresh hex for live ghost shrimp feeders( horse will not eat frozen

)
240gal Out on porch will be set up after the first. Have to get the new wiring finished first.

I'll have to stop and just maintain there. My kids keep telling me I love my tanks more then them.

39 years of keeping critters in glass cubes....I can't begin to count.

I do remember some really awsome anemones I used to collect in Southern Spain (Rota) back in the early 70's that were olive green with pink tips. I have never seen them in the aquarium trade however.

anemone iso tank and it interests me very much. I have a very healthy 6-7" purple carpet which was hosted by a pair of very large Clarkii (the female barely fits in it). In anticipation of opening day in my new tank I bought a 14" green carpet (I couldn't pass on it for $40) and released it into the same tank as the purple. When I released it to the 55 I noticed a few small pieces of flesh exited the bag with the anemone. It ate a few krill almost immediately (one of my major signals of good fish health) and was extraordinarily mobile (it lapped the 55 twice before settling down). But it's still losing little bits of flesh and looks like it's losing body mass. I'm considering moving it to a QT along with 10 gals of its own water because in a tank ANY size I don't want anything that big dying and fouling the water (I've started 5 gallon DAILY water changes). Any suggestions?

A little googling and BAM... found one.

i would say as long as you keep up on the top offs and water changes for the 10 gallon it it will probably work fine. when i did mine i had to top off at least once a day because of the fluctuations in such a small amount of water. i did 1 gallon water changes once a week with water from the DT. i also ran carbon the entire time the tank was running.
with a carpet i would be concerned about proper lighting in the iso tank, because you wouldnt want to stress it even more and cause it to bleach. i used PCs for mine, but youll need stronger ones.
let me know if there was anything i forgot, sorry i cant be that much help. my tank was super ghetto.

I can't do much about the lighting but I can put it atop a column of LR to reduce the distance of water the light has to pass through? I can run into ***** and get some carbon to throw into the filter. I guess the water flow from a HOB filter will be enough...a Koralia 3 would be too violent for a 20, I think.
Hey! I could move the iso tank (it's on wheels) it front of the window to supplement the lighting.

that all sounds good, you might want to do 1 cheapy powerhead low in the tank just to keep detritus suspended. are you going to use sand or bare bottom? i would be concerned about the anemone moving lower in the tank, as they dont always stay where they should. but if you can get it to stay at the top, and use decent lighing (i have no idea what that would be, sorry) i think thatd work fine.
