Hi

Hi found this forum looking for information on "how to take care of reefs" My son recently left his salt water aquarium for me to take care of for him for awhile.

Allen Allen's testimonial . . ."Let Me help you help YOURSELF" (Click Here)

with a SW set up there is one basic fundamental rule that we ALL should follow
When in doubt... wait it out. This means take it slow and let the tank "develop" and don't rush it. Time is your friend

Must be Steve. He says he will bring me some money in a few weeks and I can pick some new creatures for it too. What a great son I have. When he first got it I thought it was great I could enjoy something I always thought would be fun to have.

Thank you all for the sweet welcome. Will get some pictures for you all first chance to take the time to figure out "how too" upload them.

Not sure how many gallons the tank is its about four feet long, eats a gallon of water a day. It has three yellow tangs, one deep blue angel, two really pretty blue fish, one stripped black and white, one large anomene, one hitch hiking anomene, several crabs, red, brown and neon greenish looking mushrooms, some frilly looking critters, snails, two varieties of pink bubbly looking corals, a hugh grassy looking coral, lots of little fuzzy end worms and two really cool fuzzy star fish (these guys hide under big rocks and stick their long arms out from under rocks. Plus all kinds of other little critters. The Tangs rule the tank and have wiped out the anomenes from the past.
