ok here we go I came in to this hobby the beginning of april and all you folks were he to help me threw my desaster. now I was just blessed with a second sw tank some one was giving away in our local paper. The first tans is as follows.
55g tank
20lb cc ( i know i know)
30lb lr
2 odysea ex205 powerheads
topfin 60 filter(piggy Back)
Skimmer
Livestock
2 damsels
cb shrimp
(for Now)
The new tank was free but on the condition that I come out , empty it and clean it. OK no prob until I got there. the lady that gave it to me Had Not cleaned it in ages & she admitted to it . I also found in this tank a tiger fish & a blue eyed puffer. Wich I am sad to say did not make it home they died I am sure of all the stress & algea and muck that was in this tank. Please keep in mind I got this new tank on 5/19/07, so I scrubbed EVERY THING. and bought new Live rock (figi) Now I have a question I still Have the old Live rocks I have put them in a tub with some clean sw. Now can I scrub these lr to get all the algea off or what should I do with them? Any way here is the new tank.
85g bow front with hood & stand
40ls
80lr (figi)
lg. emporer piggy back filter
205 canister filter
802 powerhead
250 power head
2 really long coral life lights
2 really long 40w lights
heater.
All of this was free to me from a lady in the paper that didn't have time for it anymore after 5 years of having this tank. SO SO SO SAD
And now for the pics.
