Welcoming myself, my tank

[zanoshano]

Hey all, im new to the forum so i just thought id throw a post in of my tank. I started my 38 G. Reef in January. Right now i have about 20 lbs of LR, and...every thing else is in my signature. (im still very much in progress, ill be getting rid of the damsels and the tomato i think to make room for more fish. Enjoy!

just out of curiosity why do you have percula and tomato clowns in the same tank???

pink-tipped

i know that they arent compatible. My brother had an accident with his tank, so i am housing his tomato and gramma for a while, but i plan on having them out of there if he gets things straightened out by tuesday, or the tomato is going back to the pet store. I knew that there woudl be trouble coming in, but i had no other options. anyways. heres more....?

What kind and how many watts of lighting do you have? How long have you had the white anemone for and is it doing well? I want to get one really bad. Nice tank by the way:joy:

 

[zanoshano]

2 x 56 watts. ive had the white one for about three weeks. its doing good, i like ti a lot. You should get one, their really inexpensive i got mine for like 10 bucks. as far as the powerheards : ya, their not there, lol. Just got done cleaning from an algea attack when i took these, forgot to put the powerheads back in until monday night. haha. but i have 2 rio 120's

depends how aggresive they are,
btw i would get more lr

 

[unleashed]

dominos are highly agressive and one of the larger of the damsels. a 30 will suffice for now buit not for long term in my oppinion

 

[zanoshano]

yes, as i said before, im gettin rid of the damsles and the tomato. This tank is not cycling anmor,e been up since christmas. I want to get more LR, just dont have a ton at a time, and i have to get cultured since im nto cycling anymore, so yeah. And thanks for welcoming me, glad to join. thanks guys

 

[unleashed]

you should concider getting another tankfor the damsels the dominos are the cool ones the get big but they look the same as adults.I know alot of ppl dont like them in the tanks but i still have 3 of my origanals littles turds but i still love them

ditto on dominoes - I just cleaned out my tank - putting 3 the little bturds in their own tank - no I didn't flush them. They were harrassing all the others. They are cheap fish, nice to look at for awhile, but a nuisance in the long run. They kept all my fish in the LR. Not anymore...

Sand Sifter stars are pretty, but I dont beleive they will help the algea problem much, as I dont beleive they eat algea. Correct me if I'm wrong but it is my understanding that they eat benificial critters that live in your sand beds. Some sand sifting snails will pry help it though
