| Advice: |
Do research, visit some people with reef aquariums, internet informaition, pics, emails to different hobbyist, videos on setups, read, ask questions if not sure, plan for the future(expansion of your corals and livestock) purchase what your tank needs, and don't try to cut corners especially with live stock and equipment like lights, skimmers, etc. Don't add what you don't test for, and do it from the heart, and not to impress. Respect the livestock and the livestock will reward you with their beauties. Careful water changes, and don't get too technical trying to make your tank automatic, otherwise you will rely on the equipment and never develope a relationship with your aquarium, and you won't notice when something is not right if you leave it up to the equipment. Pay attention, be patient, and respect LIFE!!!!!
Thanks to all who look and those who voted on this tank. Hopefully, anyone with an aquarium can be inspired by these beautiful life forms. As you can see, it is possible to maintain for prolong periods and counting. Please understand that in no way am I stating with my experiences with this aquarium that this is the only way or the best way. This is one way. Big or small, it will still require the disipline and careful planning, and initial expenses. All these tanks in this site have their beauty, and the people who have summitted their aquariums on this site, have their beauty in their hearts. Thanks the site owners for allowing us the priviledge to show and share our hearts on this wonderful site.

i have had fish tanks my entire life but always fresh water. i mde teh switch about 5 years ago. i get so much enjoyment from it, and i constantly learning about it. i welcome anyoen to contact me.
michael@trustmuch.com |
| Advice: |
im sure everyone says the same thing here, so i will try to add things here that most dont.
if you get a bad case of flatworms the only thing that works is to buy 1 velvet nudibranch per 10 gallons. do not use any chemicals for the flatworms because the toxins it releases can kill your coral.
the best way to treat ich i have found was using NO SICK FISH ICH. 1 drop per 35 gallons, but make sure you turn off the skimmer, and most important the uv steralizer, and remove any carbon in the filter. if you have a mud system you must use kick ich. good luck and anyone can email me asking me anything |

| About Yourself: |
"FRAGS 4 LIFE" |
| Advice: |
I find the most trouble with fish but certain corals have been tough as well. Just choose wisely and research your purchases before hand. Try and find a shop that you like and feel comfortable buying from. I hate shops that push items on you before even asking what you need. |
| Fish Kept: |
24 gal-2 red eyed cardinals, and a lion fish (fire). Naserith snails, hermits, black crab, and cleaner shrimp.
12 gal-watchman goby, clownfish, pistol shrimp, hermits, and a cleaner shrimp. |
| Plants Kept: |
24 gal- 1monteypora, will update later |
| Tank Size: |

| Description: |
24 gallon nano, 70 watt light pod, built in fitration-pretty simple. This is the big sister tank to my 12 gallon nano. They are both live coral and fish aquariums.
Nano is simple and easy to maintain, my aquariums have done well over the last 2 yrs. I find the most trouble with fish but certain corals have been tough as well. |
