    Marinda

    I am a newbie from South Africa in this marine arena and very quickly learned that I need help .... LOTS OF HELP! I bought a 4ft Marine tank from the previous owner. It came with rock, yellow tang, clowns, damsels, a spotted hawk fish, a semi cirlcle that turned out not to be one according to the local marine pet shop and a huge leather. Needless to say, I should have done my homework better before I purchased. I successfully managed to move the tank with the same water to my premises and was in awe at how beautiful it looked in my dining room. Soon after that my trouble started with blooming of algea, white spots etc etc. But this is obviously nothing new for you guys and girls knowing your stuff ... I am learning the hard way and with a budget that is on the verge of being depleted. Anyway, I am not giving up and will get the hang of it soon, just hoping I dont loose anymore fish along the way. Have an aweome day ya all..
