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!
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:
Gold Maxima Clam
Star Polyps
Mushroom Polyps
A white one
A coral that looks like a mutated hand
(if any knows please let us know)
Tank Size:
190 gallons
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.

take your time! read books, and price shop! use a natural filteration system if possable! it is best in the long run! have plenty of live rock because that is a big part of you filteration system! ust the correct lights for what corals you intend having, and water movement is as important too!
