| Tunicate | First Saltwater tank!!! My first saltwater tank is a 46 gal bowfront. The stand and the aquarium were a gracious gift from my fiance! I am running 3 Aquaclear 301 powerheads, Aqua C-Remora Skimmer and breaking in a Seaclone 100 skimmer to be used on my next project (Nano-reef). the project has been up and running for aroung 6 months or so. I used 40lbs of Tahitian moon black sand for the substrate, and roughly 22lbs of assorted live rock. The current inhabitants are a Yellow Tang, Bursa Trigger, one Peppermint shrimp, and one blue legged hermit crab (niether of which the trigger seems to really care about). |

| Totally back   | Cool. I love the black sand. Be aware however the inhabitants of your current tank will outgrow that tank fairly quickly. Where in NC are you located?

| Tunicate | Yes. My Tang is nearly full grown while the Trigger still has a way to go. As you said they may one day outgrow the tank, but currently I am doing my best to control the triggers growth by not overfeeding, hopefully he will remain a smaller size until the day (and $) comes to set up an even larger tank. I'm currently living in Raleigh NC. Thanks to everyone for the welcome! |
