Full shot, survived Katrina and other hurricanes! |
| About Yourself: |
I started this tank when I was 18 and I really got into the hobby. Doing most things DIY because I am young and I do not have a lot of money. Sand is second hand and I have no reflectors. The Halide is from eBay and it is ghetto.
It is a DIY masterpiece. I will continue on my love for this hobby forever. |
| Advice: |
Reefs.org is a good site for leaning. Advanceaquarist.com is a great science side of reefs.
Reading is most important.
Stick with the hobby and you will be rewarded with great success.
Water changes are great. Do them often. Bi-Weekly is great! |
| Fish Kept: |
Yellow Tang, Sailfin Tang, 2 clowmns, PJ Cardnal fish, blue devil, and other reef native fishes. |
| Corals/Plants Kept: |
I love millipora and montiporas, hammers, and touch corals, mushrooms, GSP. |
| Tank Size: |
55 |
| Description: |
About 2.5 years old.
440 watts VHO, 175 MH @ 14K, 10 gallon WalMart tank as sump, Euro-Reef skimmer stuffed in the sump, MAG 5 return.

| Advice: |
Keep the system very stable, that's all you need to do, stability, they hate changes, and they die to demonstrate their point. |
| Fish Kept: |
Let go, sometimes fish dying is just inevitatble. |
| Corals/Plants Kept: |
coral keeping is not a hobby, it's basically a contraversal, irresponsible, tiring, disturbance, live killing, money sucking black hole. It's a terribly sorry thing that one can ever have. My advise don't start it. |
| Tank Size: |

| Description: |
A tank with a lots of sand, coraline algae, fishs, snails, babelones, green lone hair algae, red algae, an african leather coral, some mushrooms, some recordeas and a bunch of hard coral. |
