Hello A/A !!
I am a new salt water coral reef owner.I've recently inherited a selfcontained reef of approx. 100 gallon size and quite frankly I am somewhat intimidated by it.
In the past I've had numerous freshwater tanks which were quite spectacular in and of themselves.Throughout those days.....(building and upkeep of a freshwater)...being on the outside looking in I've heard some of the stories about how complicated a salty can be.
But it was die-ing were it was....and being as how I've helped break down and move this particular tank 3x's now since first seeing it at the ORIGIONAL owners house....along with me being the only available canidate who has any knowledge of fishtanks....well it just seems as though ME having it was meant to be.
So here I am.
As of right now theres only 2 clownfish living in it....along with the coral of course.But the ballist in the lighting system was allowed to go out so therefore it looks as though the tank is dead or die-ing.Algie has accumilated.....no grasses growing.(ugh!!)
At one time I saw this tank alive and thriving w/ snails and crabbs and damsels and all kindsa' stuff going on so I know that theres alot of potential. I just don't know where to begin and desparately hope to find a mentor or two or three here in this chatroom. My name Is Harry......my address is :nimagah@yahoo.com..................and I anxiously await any response and input I can get. Thankyou
