29 gallon Bio Cube mostly SPS tank. |
| Advice: |
Read all you can about the setup and husbandry of a saltwater tank you can before buying anything. Set out a goal for your tank knowing that it will change but at least have a plan. What kind of fish, coral etc. etc. Then buy the equipment you need to maintain the critters in your plan. As hard as it is going slowly will help to create the best tank you can from your plans. Have a great time with it as it is an addiction and very costly. |

| About Yourself: |
My name is Dario and I've been doing this for like 9 years, I originally started with a 25 gal salt water and a 60 gallon freshwater but ended up with only a 60 gallon saltwater tank. I learn as I go and I ask alot of questions. I learn from my mistakes. We also have a 25 gallon freshwater tank. |
| Advice: |
Pay close attention. If u don't have time to take care of your tank don't start! It requires ALOT of attention. well atleast that's my opinion. |

| About Yourself: |
I got into the hobby back in 2001 in the summer between high school and college. I got a great deal on a 40 gallon Eclipse setup and slowly built up a beautiful functioning marine setup. 3 years later that entire setup was stolen by my landlord (long story) and I've been without ever since. Now, 3 years after that, my father-in-law is tired of taking care of his $20,000+ marine haven and passed the responsability onto myself and his son. We've been in charge of this tank for 3 weeks now (Jan. 22/07) and I've got to say it feels amazing to stick my hand into a mini saltwater world again... especially one this beautiful! |
| Advice: |
Be patient and take your time. Although it's tempting, resist the temptation to throw a bunch of fish and corals in your newly devoloping tank. |
| Fish Kept: |
At this time, our sad list consists of:
1 Percula Clown fish
2 Yellow Tangs
1 Squirrelfish
1 Blonde Naso Tang
1 Blue Devil Damsel |
| Corals/Plants Kept: |
Gold Maxima Clam
Star Polyps
Mushroom Polyps
A white one
A coral that looks like a mutated hand
