Lets see, it took me one conversation in about a weeks time to get my 75 gallon aquarium. Knew nothing about it, didnt care about it, and now i cant get enough of it! I plan to build a reef because i love the corals and anemones the most....especially with Clowns and thats what i want so it all works out in my interest. i want to breed the clowns but the more i read the harder it seems. lets start off with Day 1
1/30/08: Got my stand at ***** a week before i got my tank, i just needed it. wanted to see something there...wanted to rearrange my room....so anxious cant describe it...
2/02/08: 50lbs of Fiji Live Rock got overnight shipping from Dr. Foster and came today....no tank yet...
2/03/08: Super Bowl Sunday! Tanks here! Filters in and running...Its a 75 Gallon All Glass with Overflow box. My friend made my filter for me since hes the expert and works at a fish store and i knew just a little about it...only problem is its loud! im used to it now...actually soothing to hear at night.
2/05/08: Ordered Nova Extreme With Lunars....coming thursday...got more rock for the tank and more rubble for the filter....and snails and crabs and a fish that didnt last too long....(Friend works at a fish store so i took it just to see if it would live...) O, and a starfish...i want and i want and i want more and more and i just cant do it. i cant be spending all this money every paycheck i have its addicting sorry. After the light comes Valentines day is coming so i cant be blowing my check again on my fish becuz my gf will kill me so i will save some for the week after and get more rock to top off my tank and build a refugium and buy a protein skimmer so my filtration will be done as well as my lighting and aquascape. then on to the clowns and anemones...cant waittt. post up my light setup on thursday.
