hey this is my second tank. i got the tank second hand off ebay was a bargins really. will try a remember everything. i picked it up on a monday nite and after 2-3 hours of cleaning the tank and getting all the trop stuff out it looked like this

i added the water and sand bed the next next day then waited a few days for everything to settle and to get upto temp. i then added my stock from my old tank and all the water luckly i didn't have any problems or spikes.

this is how it looked

so after letting things get settle down and fish and corals settle in. i got more LR and corals. so it was starting to take shape

then i found a very nice fish it was a blue tang and was going to be my last fish into the tank.

. bout 2 weeks after having him i got white spot which most of my fish got.i lost the blue tang a yellow clown goby and a sharknose goby. after i had got the spot under control and got rid of it. i started having problems with my nirates. nirates were reading bout 20ppm so was doing bout 2 10% water change a week.finally got them to zero and they r still there now thankfully.

this is how the tank was looking. i change the lighting from t8s to 2 aqua rays reef white and 1 marine white

i think that being us to present day. i have in the tank at the mom different coral bout 10 feather dusters 1 coco worm red and orange. 1 cleaner shrimp a peppermint shrimp (somewhere) bout 10 hermits and 16 snails. fishes r 2 clowns 2 peacock wrasse 1 royal gramma 1 yellow headed jawfish 1 sailfin tang 1 firefish and 1green banded goby. i know that my sailfin tang is going to need rehoming at some point. corals r mainly soft toadstools star poypls zoas mushies few lps frogspawn torch etc
some pics of the tank now.

this is how the tank looks now has i have taken my pink pussey coral to my lfs

OK I have reopened the thread. The thread was getting out of hand and was out of control. I have deleted the off topic and flaming post. Let`s stay on topic and under control. That includes the posters and the OP.
