Oh just thought I would mention I have only been into the reefs for about a year now. So while I am still pretty new to it, I think I have gotten down maintaining a basic tank set up fairly well. I have had one crash in the year, and it was three months in. Which I guess is fairly common.
I have only been maintaining soft corals with a candy cane LPS 4 small fish, and a couple typical inverts cleaner shrimp and such.
I just ordered a new T5 set up to move into the bigger stuff like SPS and clams. And hoping to pick up a couple basic SPSs while down there at the swap.
all my softies are pretty basic but I have one pretty good colored zoa, and my candy cane fragged and ready to go. Just searching my tank for one more thing to frag.
Did I mention I was excited???
