| Tunicate |  yet another new face... My name is Courtney, and I'm the proud owner of a 30 gallon reef tank. It's been up and running for a whole year, and I can't believe the way it's grown. Ok, the basics..... aprox. 4 lbs of Live Sand guessing about 13 lbs of Live Rock (I know, i should have more) about 10 assorted mushrooms A happy colony of button polyps several hermits one Turbo snail One Foxface (about 3'' long) one Coral Beauty one Clownfish.....I think she's a false percula....WITH her very own Seabae Anemone.  OH...and I can't forget the 50 odd starfish. They're a mix of serpent and brittle. (several are banded in different colors....I've seen pink, blue, purple, and orange so far!) I run a BakPak 2 skimmer, along with a Fluval 204 filter, and a power sweep power head. I have a heater too....but my lighting keeps the tank at a steady 82 degrees. I've often wondered about that, but with all those polyps that keep sprouting up, I think the tank is ok. That's my setup in nutshell... Glad to be here, and I look forward to sucking the knowledge from your brains!  |

| Sunshine Reefer  | Re: yet another new face... Sounds like you are doing well so far. It's tough to keep a 30g in that kind of shape so congrats for doing so. Welcome to RS! Lots of friendly and helpful people here so ask away. We will help as best we can. Post some pics of your system when you can. We love pics here.
