| Tunicate | Hi Hello, My name is Derek. I Have a 15g reef tank stuffed with live rock from my old 55g that my dad keeps now. Me and my wife bought our first house and its a little on the smaller side, Hard to justify taking up a whole room for a "Fish Tank". I have 3" of sand, jebo canister filter, Rena top light 100w heater, Odyssea 9w sterlizer, a few power heads, Current 10000k 50/50 PC, Moon light, Had a fisson nano skimmer now its in a box somewhere. As far as live stock; Pair false Percs, Peppermint shrimp, 12 snails, 1 red legged hermint, Feather duster, 2 tubastrea frags, 1 green star frag, 1 zoa frag, few stalks of Xenia, 1 mushroom polyp, had a damsel finnaly caught him. My tank is 4mo old coraline is growing slowly, I test for Ca, Phos, dKH, Nitrates, Nitrites, Ammonia. My eyes are bigger than my tank, it takes alot of will power not to over stock , or put corals in that will out grow my small tank eventually. I just remind myself that someday I will have a tank more suitable for my addiction. I'm rather new at reef keeping and on a very tight budget with our new addition to our family, My son Tyler born on 11/21/06 who I love very much. I'm a full-time firefighter for a nearby city and work a second job so my wife can stay home with our son. I have many hobbies reef keeping being my favorite! |
