First of all i want to say hi and thanks for having such a great forum. My name is Joe I have been reading everything i can for the past week and it really changed my ideas on what i need to do to make a successful tank.
Let me tell you what im working with. I know its not the best idea for a tank now after reading the forums but its what i have and can afford for now.
I have a eclipse 12........the good thing about this was my friend gave me the tank 5-7 pounds of sand and 6 gallons of established water from his 55 and 30 saltwater tank. He also gave me 4 large rocks. Part of the deal was i get a bubble tip anemone, and two clowns. Now after doing some reading i dont think its the best idea to take them now. I just cant seem to find a good post about what i can put in my tank being that it is so small.
Now this isnt my first tank but its my first saltwater. The last tank i had was a 55 gallon with fantail goldfish. They lived through anything so it was rather easy. The 55 has since left my possesion to a family member who is using it.......
So in short i just wanted to introduce myself since you will be hearing from me in the future im sure. Im sure many noobs have come and gone, it seems like so much at first. Anyways any input or ideas are great. Oh and please
