Aquarium Advice Freak
I started with a 40 gallon acrylic tank (wish I would have gone larger, but oh well). Coming up on two months since setup, here's what I got so far:
43 lbs live/dry rock
30 lbs live sand
Coralife Aqualight 36" HO T5 (10,000K 39 watt, Actinic Blue 39 watt)
AquaClear 50 filter
Hydor Koralia Powerhead 425gph x 2
Aqueon Pro Heater 150 watt
...soon to add AquaMaxx HOB-1 protein skimmer
3 Nassarius Snails
4 Astraea Snails
3 Hermit Crabs
Six Line Wrasse
Ocellaris Clown x2
Firefish
Yellow Tang
Blue Tang
(all fish are 3 inches or less)
I also managed to get a mantis shrimp hitch hiking in my FIRST piece of live rock - hence, the base rock Since I couldn't get rid of him (believe me, I tried) I decided to put him in his own tank. So..
20 gallon glass tank
20 lbs live sand
15 lbs live rock
AquaClear 20 filter
Aqueon Pro Heater 50 watt
Please tell me your thoughts/concerns...except for the tangs, I already know that concern. If I can keep them going for the next year and a halfish, I'm planning on getting a 200 gallon
