| New Guy Hey all, pretty new to salt water aquariums. Picked up a 75GAL from a guy moving for 400 bucks. Came with 20 gal sump with a skimmer an UV filter, 400watt MH, 2 55watt 10k and, 2 55 watt actinic and two tube of LED moonlights. About 80lbs of live rock with corraline algea all over it and many snails and hermits and about a 3-4 inch base of live sand and crushed coral.
Unfortunately it also came with a moon ?? wrasse that i finally got out of the tank. You all are gonna hate me but I had to fish him out with a piece of shrimp and a tiny fly from my fly fishing collection. I made several attempts to remove him kindly, but after he ate all my newly added snails i had enough.
After I set it up and let it settle into its proper levels i added some new life. Added one percula and 2 blue green chromis, there was one in there already so now i have 3. Bought 2 stars and some turbo snails and the other ones that burrow in the substrate with the pipe sticking out?? Well the wrasse at all those. Wrasse went back to LFS and i bought 2 peppermint shrimp another percula (my present one was schooling with the chromis so i bought him a buddy), and a sea urchin.
Anyways done babbling now, i am gonna need slots of advice so hopefully you guys dont get all mad at me! |
