40 Gallon Reef 8 Months old and under construction |
| Quote: |
Any advice to a beginner is good advice. So please feel free to send any helpful comments on my setup, and future needs. |
| About Yourself: |
Started into saltwater about eight months ago. In the beggining was going to go with a FOWLR tank but decided to build a Reef tank instead after seeing some corals at my local pet store. After checking out all their diffrent corals I was instantly hooked on reef tanks. |
| Advice: |
Being a newby to the hobby I can't give a whole lot of advice. Just save you're money and buy good equipment the first time, and do lot's of research before buying. Oh and be patient from what I've been told reef-building is a slow proccess. |
| Fish Kept: |
1 Yellow Tang, 1 Black Saddleback Clown, 1 False Percula Clown, 3 Yellowtail Damsels, 1 Talbot's Damsel, 1 Lawnmower Blenny, 1 Royal Gramma, 3 Emerald crabs, 1 Long tentacle anenome, 1 Haitian Condylactus anenome, 10 zebra hermit crabs, 10-15 sand snails ( can't keep counting them their reproducing in the tank ), 1 Cleaner shrimp, 1 Sexy anenome shrimp. |
| Corals/Plants Kept: |
Green button Polyps, Yellow polyps, Flame polyps, some other species of polyp can't remember. Lot's of polyps. 2 Branching Frog Spawn, 1 Torch coral, 1 Hammer coral, 4 Blue spotted mushrooms |
| Tank Size: |
40 |
| Description: |
40 Gallon , 2 Hagen 1800K HO T-5's 72 watts , 2 Corallife Pure Actintic 03 Blue T-10 20W night lights ( only 112 Watts total need to upgrade soon ) SeaClone 150 protein skimmer, Marineland Penguin Bio-wheel 200 filter, Sea Clear 30 powerhead. Zoo Med 226 wavemaker. Hoping to get a Larger canister filter and get rid of the bio-wheel. |

This picture may appear to be a little fuzzy, but that is only because I had to crop it to fit. |

| About Yourself: |
I am 19 years old and in college. As you can see I am in the process of hopefully creating a micro-reef. Since money is scarce this is a slow building process. Soon I am hoping to get a stand for my tank and set up a protein skimmer ( until then I am doing regular water changes). There is not much livestock in this tank yet, because it is a fairly new. |
| Advice: |
Before purchasing anything. Make sure you do your research. |
| Fish Kept: |
1- white spotted damsel
1- three strip damsel
1- Brittle starfish
1- Green emerald crab
1- Sally lightfoot crab
2- red scarlet hermit crabs |
| Corals/Plants Kept: |
- around 12 to 13 pounds of figi liverock (producing much livestock so far. Nothing I can classify yet.)
- 1 long tentacle anemone
- I had a bubble tipped anemone but he just moved around too much and was found attached to the filter one morning. Both the anemone and filter are not with us today.

| Tank Size: |

| Description: |
- 10 gallon horizontal fish tank.
- 60 watts satellite compact sun/paq lighting with lunar light.
- zoo med power head, up to 125 gallons.
- Elite 10-15 gallon in tank heater. |
