Just wondering how long its going to take before you get into corals.
It all starts with just one zoanthid or mushroom...
Haha.

thats funny, im actually a recovering addict and we have this expression that goes something like "you cant stop being an addict you can only replace your addictions with healthier ones".......well, im obsessed with this hobby as well...but at least its a whole lot healthier than drugs or alcohol :happy:

Haha. Its funny because there are about 5 people at work who now want/plan_to_get a tank just like mine.
If you lived closer, I'd offer you some frags even.
I'm terrible, arent I? -->

hehe.

For me it was one five dollar mushroom frag, and to date i have spent about 300 on corals because of it!

wax32, I dont know much about freshwater, and I would like to start a 5 or 10 gallon... isnt that too many fish for a 5 gallon?

 

[wax32]

Yeah. It's a big bio-load. I change my filter insert every week and do water changes. The ammonia/nitrite/nitrate levels are fine. I do have some nice algae though because of all the nutrients in the tank. I'm about to set up a tank for a friend and donate a few of these fish to them.
