so after a catastrophic loss of an entire 150 gal tank a few years back I am finally returning to building the tank back uo. I cleaned everything out, cured the rock and sand and let it all sit dormant and dry for a veyr very long time. I got the urge finally to start rebuilding it and decided that I would resume a reef tank but this time instead of critters My focus was to be on corals for the most part.
That being said, My experience with corals was just begining when the great crash happend so what little I knew was lost. So I have been conditioning water for a month, got the Ph up the salinity and calcium and carbonat and nitrates all in safe zones, got a dozen or so snails in there to help keep the system cleaning and build the eco build. So as an early christmas present I took advantage of one of the black friday sales and got a frag 5 pac.... cool....great...aWESOME....
I don't know for sure what I got (just arrived today) so I would very much appreciate some rapid response in identifying the frags I received so I can make sure I have the right chem settings to work together and make the tank all pretty and such. I am going to attempt to attach images of each of the 5 and if you guys would take the time to identify the frags for Me and maybe even give Me suggestions for best conditions n your books for them surviving and hopefully flourishing I would really really appreciate it.....
I do not want to lose an entire tank again....kinda hurts in more places than just the wallet. I am more than willing to answer questions to the best of My knowledge. I am just trying to build the reef tank with corals and plant life for the most part, an anemone here and there with a clown fish but for now I do not want to load the tank up with critter life until I get the rest of things settled and worked through the first several issues that i know I will end up having to deal with.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
