Quote: If all i had in life was $1.00 bill, I'd give it to the poor man.
About Yourself: I loved the ocean from the day i was born, saw a coral reef tank at sea world when i was 7 and now im obsessed.
Advice: read, read, read, ask, ask, ask....know how to do it before you buy. plan/design/build/care/become an addict. buy the expensive parts with the best raitings the first time. watch your tank close and prepare to be amazed.
Fish Kept: 1-percula clown, 1-Yellowtail Damsel, 1- Cardinal, 1- Three Striped Damsel, 1-Chocolate Chip Star...I know the star eats corals so i watch him closely and feed him very well.
Corals/Plants Kept: 1-Feather Duster, small polyps, small mushrooms, I only bought the feather duster the others grew on their own. Soon as i purchase this light this tank will be filled with corals.
Tank Size: 30
Description: 30 gallon tank 36"x12"x17", cheap seaclone skimmer that i modified-getting an Octopus NW 200 soon, overflow box going to custom aquarium sump, Marineland Maxijet sumbersible pump1100 max 300GPH-getting a bigger one soon also. 2 koralia powerheads, 1 maxijet powerhead. poor lighting-soon getting Nova Extreme T5 Fixture 36"x7.25"x2.5" 3 luner lights total watts 156...just enough needed to grow corals. I will also be starting a 125gallon soon to be posted.
