Hello, I’m new to the Marine Hobby
Hello everyone, nice to meet you all =), my name is Michael and I am from Bradenton, Florida.
I have been taking care of a 150 gal tank for about a while now but I am still very novice at this hobby. It was a rough start at first (I’ll elaborate later =P) but everything seems to getting better now. I do water changes every two weeks and always check the water quality weekly. I currently have::fish1:
A powder Brown Tang
A Sailfin Tang
A Yellow Tang
A Blue Hippo Tang
2 Damsels
A gobie that loves to sift though sand for food
And a Mystery wrasse (I emphasize MYSTERYcuz I still don’t know what kind it is =()
They all seem to be getting along well for now but the sailfin and the powder brown chases each other around some time and the wrasse and the gobie seems to challenge each other sometimes but nothing too dramatic. It’s almost like a love/hate relationship between those two lol =P
About the rough start,
When we first got the tank, someone we knew else was setting it up and getting the water ready. Once it was ready he put 7 damsels in there, (7 DAMSELS!! OMG)and a a big angelfish -__-. There were wounds on the angelfish at first and then it passed away ><. Most of the damsels were returned but my main gripe was that how can someone make a novice mistake like that, he should have known better =( but anywho, I digress,. I look forward to reading some awesome advice and tips:fish1:
Thank you,
Michael =)

... i was wondering for my sump and the return pump what should i use i have a pcx-55hp and a Reeflo Hammerhead Pump 5800gph. I was wondering if i would be able to use the pump to circulate the flow and run a protein skimmer and run some water back into the sump all at the same time. i have 2 1" drains and 2 returns that are 1" as well maybe i need to make the drain bigger? or should i stick with the pcx-55hp ? please help i want to get the best flow and use out of my stuff. o btw i have a gx-2400 that came with my protein skimmer i was wondering if that is even a good model to use for a protein skimmer that about 24" tall 13 " wide its a down draft style. thank you so much for your help and iam looking forward to talking and meeting all you guys here.
