Hi all. We live in Kuna, Idaho. My name is Jade and my wife’s name is Melissa. We’ve got our 1 year anniversary on July 28th. Lexi and Kayl are the 2 German shorthair pointers, W, X, & Y are the 3 Black Bala sharks, Mudd Puddle is the 6"-7” Pleacostomus and a small bunch of other freshwater guys are in our 29 gallon tank. My beta buddy in the porthole hang-on the wall tank is Budweiser, and yes he's red.
We started a 55 gallon saltwater tank on July 8th. We adopted a False Perc clown (already named Nemo), a Yellow-tailed Blue Damsel (already named Dory), a Diana Hogfish, a Banded Sleeper Goby (I named A$$hole), a Valentini Puffer, a Scopus tang (currently residing in a friends tank), a Firefish Goby (named Mohawk), a chocolate chip starfish, some snails and a hermit crab. We also got the live rock they were living with. It’s not much and the tank seems bare, but I plan on making some concrete rock formations, to replace some of the Kuna lava rock I’m using. The tank’s got about 2.5-3” of Aragonite substrate, and a couple lbs. of live sand.
We are planning on coming to the next club meeting and meeting some folks. On that note, would it be possible for a couple people to bring a small amount of live sand to the next meeting for us? I want to kind of help the tank gain some good bio fighters a little sooner. If anyone can do this, in a few months I’d be more than happy returning the favor.
Thanks for reading this long, drawn out intro post. Have a great day.
Jade and Melissa

welcome to the boards but come on people, help them out here. The cc star will eat all the snails and crabs, the tank is way overstocked. Maybe they can get that squared away at the meeting.

Very irresponsible for you all to welcome them and NOT offer some help or let them know they have been steered in the wrong direction already.
Hope all works out for ya. i am not flaming you, just trying to shed some reality on the deal here as no one else cared to. Sorry

"My goodness mister grumpy gills, all you have to do is...just keep swimming, just keep swimming...."

Myreef is correct. You need to reevaluate the contents of your tank.
What kind of tank are you planning to have? Reef?Fish only? Inverts?
