newbie here

[jimmer]

just picked up a 46 gallon bowfront.filled it yesterday and no leaks.too lazy to measure the salt so i dumped in one 50 gallon bag and half another just to be safe.grabbed a couple bags of gravel from home depot and threw them in then picked up a nice 4 bulb shop light too that way i can keep sps if i decide to go that route.as far as stocking goes the tank is only 3 ft long so ill probably stick to 2-3 smaller tangs so they have room probably naso and clown tang.im gonna place my order tomarrow so hopefully the water will be warm enough by the time they get here.my neighbor is gonna grab the box and hang on to it till i get home.cant wait to meet evryone and ill post pics soon jimmer

Sounds like a great plan to me. I would skip the Tangs though, get two or three Crosshatch Triggers and a dozen clownfish.

Couple sharks would go great in there...

What did you do with Mau and Gigi?

 

[Capt_Cully]

My advice??? Not me man! I stay out of the marital affairs of others.

Glad to see you back bud. I'm without a tank currently too, or I'd have some frags for you.

Not only does he have money for corals but I think he has beer money too haha

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

this isn't the kind of news I need to hear.

Sorry about the divorce. Glad to hear you're surviving. Remember: when you're going through hell... keep on moving.

 

[jimmer]

[aquadonkey]

Nice post.
Very informative.
It's good to have these succinct start-up instructions here - here I was not realizing how many tangs I could fit in my 29g!


BTW - sorry about the divorce. Nice to have a tank to work on!

 

[captain7359]

I've got a panther grouper that's out grown my tank you can have....

Good to see you back.

Be careful cause if it's not her looking to repo the tank, it's gonna be the tang police!!
