Finally Got My Feet Wet...

[WhiteysTA]

Well, as of today i'm officially hooked on the reef game. Picked me up some cheato from Rich(marino420td), and he hooked me up with my first frags. Got a couple small clusters of zoo's and a sps frag to get me started. So far the zoo's have all opened up and nobody in the tank is picking at them. Still waiting on the Montipora(think thats what it is) to do something, but time will tell. I'll definatly have some questions about these guys in the future. Now I just need a new tank for my Koran angel and niger triggerfish and a nice drilled tank with MH's for my new additions to the hobby!

Montipora are a good, hardy SPS to start with. Do you have any tank pics?

I took some, but need to upload them. My computer has no software that will resize stuff, so i'll have to host them somewhere that will hold them.

Hey, your only 30 min away! I've got a few zoo's too when you think you want a few more.

 

[WhiteysTA]

awesome! Great to see some people around the SEMO area with reef tanks. Need to get everyone in SEMO together sometime!

 

[leshampton]

Yeah, definitely!

How old is your tank?

Mine's been up for 3 yrs now.

Well, so far my zoo's look great, had some rough times though. One of my jealous fish decided it would be fun to push the frag disks off the rocks a few times. I ended up building a small "jail cell" for them so none of the bullies could get them. All the polyps are open again and look good. As for the SPS, not sure whether its doing good or bad. Doesnt seem to have changed much at all. Guess i'll have to get a good pic of it and post it on here to see what you guys think. Now for the question, what should I buy to feed these guys? What are your expert opinions on what to feed and how? Thanks for any info!
