150 Gallon Reef Tank |
| Quote: |
Live today - worry about tomorrow - tomorrow |
| About Yourself: |
Needed a hobby to keep me out of trouble - this sure did the trick - Im now either working on the tank or sitting down to enjoy it - I havent had my TV on in months |
| Advice: |
I read a book and decided to do Fish only because everything I read made coral and reef systems sound so hard and impossible - the fish only went so smooth I decided to turn it into a reef system - Im glad I did -Read but dont take it all to heart - you can ask 100 reef tank keepers the same question and get 90 different answers - You have to take it on your own and figure out what works best - there will be errors - but in the long run it will pay off - and you will fall in love with it. |
| Fish Kept: |
(2) FoxFace - (3) Yellow Tangs - (1) Blue Hippo Tang - (2) Naso Tangs ( 1 is 13 inch Male with streamers) - (2) Tomato Clowns - (1) Vlamingi Tang - (4) cleaner Shrimp - (2) Fire Shrimp - (1) horseshoe crab - (3) Flame Scallops - and about 150 different snails and hermit crabs
|
| Plants Kept: |
Mostly Leather - Devils hand - Yellow Finger leather - Pink Finger Leather - 4 different variations of the toadstool - green flower pot - white flower pot - purple colt - white colt - maroon colt - orange sponges - cup coral - brains - cabbage coral - star polyps - zoos - (2) Bubble anenomes |

don't sweat the petty stuff, just pet the sweaty stuff! |
| About Yourself: |
Managed a pet store in 80's, had 23 freshwater tanks, bred central american cichlids bred true chameleons and Phelsuma (Gieco Gecko LOL!)went into the AF and have kids now, so thought it was time to expose them to the wonderful hobby of fish keeping. |
| Advice: |
RESEARCH_RESEARCH_RESEARCH! Go slow buy the best of all the equipment you can afford...do not skimp even if it delays setting up your dream tank, cause in the end you WILL pay for it anyways! Try to use cultured frags whenever possible, join a local reef club and get to know the folks at your LFS well and ask questions that you know the answer to and see the response to check the level of their knowledge. |

Be very patient and expect everything to take much longer than you think it will. It is worth the time and effort it takes. Research everything you plan on doing with your tank, and never stop learning. |
