Well its been 1 crazy week. I got a call from a friend asking me if i wanted to tanks. I said sure. He told me he has a 90g and a 24 nano that he needs to get rid of. He sold his biz and was closing his office, and he already had a tank at home.
When he told me everything comes with it, everything came with it. I got a proclear pump/sump, hang on skimmer, a emperor 400 filter, lighting (the big coral life one) ast... powerheads, heater, tons of junk and food. It also came with abt 150 lbs of LR and 4 inches of sand (live - he had it running for abt 8 months).
Stock list:
Sailfin
foxface
coral beauty angel
clown
anthia (not sure what type)
candy stripe cardinal
pajama cardinal
coral branded shrimp
all dif types of snails
a few crabs
6 cleaner clams
So i went last Sunday to pick it.
Im new at fish keeping, but i have been reading tons on this site. I realized if i wanted to keep status quo i would have to take the water with me, so i shouldnt get a spike ect...
I went with 2 guys, filled up 30g rubbermaid bins, took out the rock, and the fish.
somehow fit everything into the minivan, sloshed my way home (2hr trip - each way), set it it all back up dumped fishies back in, and started it up.
so now its looking good. But i had a few questions.
Im sure some of them are dumb but...
Can i add cleaner shrimp to help get rid of the rouge/pest anemones, i think they are called apstasia? or only peppermint shrimp? and will any of my stock bother them?
Does any one know the name of the pancake looking coral? (see Pic)
