Arreola · 08-19-2008, 08:18 PM

Hi all.
I'm from Mexico and my english is not very good, so feel free to correct me if I do not make my self clear.

I have a Red Sea Max and it has been running for a 2 of months.
The inhabitantys are:
1 Sailfin Blenny
1 Six Line Wrasse
2 Clown fish
5 Turbo snails
1 Banded Coral Shrimp.

It has 28 lbs of live rock and a 2" sand bed.

I'm planning to add some corals this weekend, but haven't decided the species yet.
Any suggestons on beginners corals?
The Red Sea Max have 2 x 55 watt T5 power compacts 10,000K/Actinic lighting.

Aditional personal info.
We just got confirmation on my wife's doctor... WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!

Welcome to RS

What translator are you using? The one I have now stinks and I am looking for a better one.

lcstorc · 08-20-2008, 08:19 AM

Welcome to RS
Congrats on the baby and the tank.
Easier corals to start with are mushrooms and zoas. Most softies are good to start with but be aware that leathers practice chemical warfare and you need to run carbon to eliminate the toxins.

Hello

and welcome! We're glad to have you onboard.

We'd love to see pics of your tank and hear all about your expeirence so far. I almost got a RSM at one point. I like the look of them and all of the "built in" features.

Again welcome and CONGRATS on the good baby-news. I'll be IN Mexico in November

Intranick · 08-20-2008, 10:01 AM

Welcome to rs! I have a couple friends in Mexico end though I don't speak Spanish I have gotten pretty good at figuring out what they mean - your English seems fine...
Congrats on the baby!!

Hope to see your tank soon...
