I have inherited the care of our 29 gallon SW tank. It is a very mature tank, about 8-9 years old, but my husbands hobby, not mine.... I've always loved the tank and done the feeding once he taught me. The maintenance was his deal though. Now he has a job that takes up just about all his time and there is NO FREE time whatsoever. I've kept things alive but want them all to be happy and thrive. Consider me a new customer with a fully cycled tank walking out of the LFS and taking it home. What are the big things I need to always keep an eye on and be diligent about. I've asked him many times about all this stuff and he assumes that I "just know" because I've seen him do it once before.... I'm not that good of a learner (from just observing a few times years past). If anyone has ideas to help a girl out wanting the 1 clown fish(looks exactly like nemo, sorry to use that reference but I can't remember the name.... starts with an O...), 1 cleaner shrimp, and 1 very unhappy RTBA (It's been stressed since we've had it....got the baby to gain some color over the summer, but since has again gone nearly all white we also have a bunch of hermit crabs doing the "house work" and a encrusting gorgonian (sp?) that is VERY happy and nearly taken over the entire top half of all the live rock.
I just want these little guys to be happy.
Basically, I need a "salt water tank guardianship for dummies" manual.
Thank you!!!!!
