first saltwater aquarium, weird 15g setup, many questions

[griss]

I'm a big fan of very diverse clean up crews. For my current tank, I did the appropriately sized Diverse Clean Up Crew.

Of course, his crews are for larger tanks but, you could get an idea what is included for say a 30 gallon and cut the number of each creature in half for your 15.

Or you could email him, and ask him if he could put together a package for a 15 gallon that contains Chitons and Limpets. I don't know if he does that but, it couldn't hurt to ask.

he sent me a list of animals (a variety of snails + the chiton) and the amount of each he recommends, and i ordered them! it actually still didn't meet the $50 minimum, so i added 3 sexy shrimp to fill it out lol. his list included a limpet, as i said that i wanted one, but they were, of course, still out of stock. it's ok though, maybe i can get another fw limpet instead!

i also ordered both my clown goby AND the pink-streaked wrasse... i was going to wait longer, especially for that expensive wrasse, but my dad actually gave me the money for them because he is somehow getting impatient about MY tank lol.

the inverts should get here next tuesday, and the fish should get here next friday. gonna head to the pet store on monday to pick up food for them!

You said you ordered them from @Dr. Reef affordable aquaria?

[skipper03]

i turned off my pumps for a few minutes, and i noticed this little thing! it couldn't possibly be an actual tiny jellyfish, could it?

sounds like it actually could be a cladonema jellyfish!

i didn't think that jellyfish could do well in a typical rectangular tank, and now i'm learning that they can be a pest!

Interesting. Never seen one in a tank before.
