my project started out very simple. i just wanted a saltwater aquarium. now that i have one set up, i am slowly adding the new stuff that i realize that i need. i just found a place that will ship sand to me for very cheap, but it will take about 2 months or so. so hopefully here soon i will be ordering that. i already have 8 chromis in the tank, but that's it. once i am ready for some more fish, i am going to take some chromis back. there are the 8 fish, a chocolate chip star, and a coral banded shrimp. like i said, very basic, but i continue to add whenever i can. oh yeah, and about 8 or 9 snails. lately i have been saving for my skimmer, which i just got put in not too long ago, and next is new lighting. then i will worry about new or different fish.
