I love this site I have been reading and viewing so many informative cool stuff about this wonderful hobby here.
This is my 1st reef aquarium I had been researching this for about three years and wanting one my whole life it seems
So Actually we my husband and I; I do maintence he helps with the choices of live stock and the cost thank you baby!
Marineland 29 gal SW aquarium.
Boi filter in hood. intake Filter and added protien skimmer, heater, 38 watt PC lights and ice cap two blue luner lights led.
All water paramiters are looking good.
salinity 1.022
temp 80 -82 Too High?
ammonia 0
nitrate 0
nitrite 0
alk 180
ph 8.4
All live stock in order as I added them:
25 lbs of figi live rock. With hitchhikers such as peanut worms many,feather dusters small ones about 10,one that I have seen of couse pink and white spined bristle worm,orange and blue sponges small too I hope these grow larger,and a few other little filter feeder thingys I forgot what theye where called but supposed good things.
10 lbs of tahitian moon sand black.
2 hermit crabs blue leg
4 snails
3 purple mushrooms so far. Want many things softys and shrooms but need lighting upgrade 1st.
All small fish, 1 - 1 1/2 in.
2 perc clowns I love them!
3 blue reef chromis but the largest picks on the mid size one all the time so who knows how theye will work out don't want to rip my rock apart to get them out but wish I never put them in:away:
1 Tinny Humbug Damsel love him to with his black & white stripes & blue fins. Stands his own but does not bother others (yet).
1 skunk cleaner shrimp. Who does a great job at cleaning all the fish except the clowns theye stay away from him. I have read others claiming the same.
Not sure why this is? Anyone?
I use RO DI filtered H20 I get 25cents per gal at the local fin & feather. And Instant Ocean salt.
And do weekly water changes. The tank has been up for 4 months now and we love it!
My Bday is coming up so I hope to get the shrimp a buddy and who knows what els
Happy Reefing all! Good luck & please keep the ich to your self!
