Hi there, havnt posted in a while.
I have another thread that has got lost with time and things have changed a bit since then. 3ft tank that has just recovered from ich.
Had to dissasemble the tank to catch the fish for hypo but everything turned out ok (i think).
Would love comments. Cheers.
P.S I just got the sun coral yesterday

Hi there
Right now its just fluors 55W
This is being upgraded within the week to 150W MH or 250W MH. The tank is only 20in deep so i think i may go with the 150W.
Just waiting for my LFS to get some in stock.
Cheers.

Hi there.
Rutz

Moving on, have 3 stars, as you can see in the pics. Had them 4months (added at dif times)
They are fun to watch, they wont move for a while then next time you look there over the other side of the tank.
Stocking list
1 foxface rabbitfish, 2 orc clowns, 1 LMB, 1 banded goby and 1 flame angel.
Corals, i have a few, brains, sun, torch, hammerhead, to name a few.
Weekly water changes using NSW and calcium additives done every Sun. Its my day off.
Thanks for looking.

Hi ginarox
Yes the sun coral is very nice. Right now im "training" it to come out when the lights are on so it can feed.
Im doing this simply by cutting a plastic coke beottle in half and dropping some mysis in there.
Within 5 mins of the mysis the polyps are open and feeding well, but then they retreat when finished. Just takes time i guess.
Worth it. Dont worry so much about your tank. Enjoy it and give it some TLC. I suspect the first thing you will get is diatoms. Ugly brown stuff but its not harmful just unsightly. What you do come across is all learning experiance. There are plenty of websites including this one that are more than happy to help you.
Do lots of research, and things like ich can be prevented if your patient AND have a quarantene tank. Serioulsy you need nothing fancy for quarantene.
Good luck and i will keep the sun coral updates for you.
